PT Barnum was a great prankster - he was able to pull off his hoaxes, make money, all while convincing his "victims" it was grand entertainment rather than fraud. His most notable work of scheming was a "This Way to Egress" sign. Under the assumption that 'egress' was the name of an exhibit, the individuals followed the sign through the door that led them to...outside. After falling for the prank, the visitors had to re-pay admission.

Why was welles able to pull off his hoax in 1938 but nobody could do the same today?
Welles was able to pull off his hoax in 1938 due to the lack of widespread communication and skepticism about radio broadcasts at that time. Today, with advanced technology, social media, and fact-checking tools, it is much harder to deceive the public on a large scale without being quickly exposed. Also, people are generally more skeptical and informed about news and media sources nowadays.

Why did pt barnum tell people Joice Heth was 161 years old?
So he could make money off of displaying her as a human curiosity. PT Barnum purchased the rights to display her along with documentation of "proof" of her age from her previous owners.

PT Barnum was as surprised as everyone else.
