<p>The fairground gypsies had come to town and the night air was filled with the smell of cotton candy, cigarettes and popcorn.</p>
<p>Exciting times.</p>
<p>Every year they&#8217;d arrive with their life-endangering fairground rides, rigged stalls and house-favoring Penny Falls.</p>
<p>They were here one night and gone the next:-</p>
<p>They made sure to disappear before people had chance to file whiplash lawsuits, conduct health and safety assessments or realize they&#8217;d just been scammed out of moolah on the dodgy Penny Falls machines.</p>
<p>Well this particular time they met their match;</p>
<p>Two 10-year old boys (myself included).</p>
<p>The technique was devilishly simple:-</p>
<p>#1. Collect the discarded wooden sticks from cotton candy</p>
<p>#2. Find the Penny Falls with the most money hanging over the edge and poke them discreetly up the collection hole to knock down all the money hanging over the edge with an adrenaline-filled ka-ching.</p>
<p>The easy, low-hanging money.</p>
<p>Literally.</p>
<p>We stuffed out pockets so full we jangled as ran away into the darkness that night.</p>
<p>Good times.</p>
<p>Now I&#8217;m not advocating theft or illegality in anyway of course.</p>
<p>(And don&#8217;t try this at home people &#8211; for one, Penny Falls now have anti-poke collection holes.)</p>
<p>But what if there were a legitimate, legal and ethical way to &#8220;game&#8221; the &#8220;Facebook fairground&#8221; and knock down all the easy money into your pocket?</p>
<p>Well there is.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the only way left for the little guy to get rich on Facebook.</p>
<p>And tonight at 7pm EST (New York time) you&#8217;re going to learn exactly what it is and how to do it in this live customer-only training event;</p>
