The Gambler - Three Shell Game
Add to wishlist | Get 90 VI Points for this purchase.
Learn how to perform the Three Shell Game, a classic street con used by magicians and hustlers around the world for centuries.
Three plastic shells and a tiny pea (green ball) are shown to your audience. You place the pea under any one of the three shells and move them around slowly, asking your audience to follow the shell that contains the pea. No matter how hard they try and follow the pea, they will never get it right!
This easy-to-do routine comes with all the props you need and complete professional instructions. It's offered as part of The Apprentice line of professional quality magic tricks for beginner magicians.
Just remember, "The Gambler" is being sold for entertainment purposes only and should not be used to take any real money from people.
This is older than dirt but it certainly always gets attention whether you see it done on the streets or you do it in a parlour or one on one performance. It is always astonishing to see. This is very well made and you can't beat the price. The directions are very clear and with just a little practice this becomes very easy to do. I do suggest you perform it on a mat as some table tops just won't work. Highly recommended. A++++++++++++
It is the perfect sleight-of-hand trick for the beginner magician and educational for non-coin/cups and balls magicians. The props are plastic, which is not bad considering the price point. That being said, on close-up mats or carpet, they will have some friction when trying to slide the shells. This can be overcome by "hovering" the shells across the mat. The routine included is a short basic handling, but with some imagination someone could create a better routine. I do not feel disappointed in my purchase. I bought this for my 7 year old.
