Remember our discussion from yesterday - the next step in the con game is to get the mark introduced to the "inside man" - the man who has all the information, who is the heart of the scheme to earn money for the mark.
Why is this step necessary? Well, unlike all the steps we are discussing, this step is not mandatory. This element is not essential for the entirety of the con game. Sometimes the person who introduces himself to the mark is the "inside man."
Yet, for the psychology of the situation, it is often better to have a third person involved. First, this helps to lessen any anxiety the mark may have about the situation. Obviously, if more people are involved, then there is less the chance that the whole thing is a scam. Further, if a third person is involved, then it appears to the mark that other people have made money from this scam. Also, a third person provides a different "view" of the scam to the mark, which also provides reinforcement.
