This is the famous 3 Shell Game, the techniques to watch out for and why you should not bet on it. This is my version of Bob Sheets wonderful routine. I've changed the script to suit me and added a few small ideas.
The problem with knowing the secrets behind certain tricks is that the magic is lost. I only saw the moves you did because I knew what to look for. It really was a beautiful performance. Well done!
As he pushes the cap forward the pea pops out the back of the cap into his fingers. Then as he moves everything around the pea isn’t even under any cap at all. Then he can pick which cap he wants it under by dropping the pea as he flips the cap over. It’s pretty clever but once you understand how it works you can notice when it’s popping out into his hand
There is a way to win. I'm six feet tall, 250 pounds. I put my finger on my choice and told him to turn over the other two. Soooo, the pea MUST be under MY choice, RIGHT?
Me too bro sadly, bc it’s not a far fight I think the whole game is about how can I fool him into thinking there’s a pea under the cap bc most the time the pea not even on the board I get it now but they put it back to make it look less sus once they taking your money
The caps have to be rigged and there’s more then one pea. Just my guess. The trick they do at the malls and gas stations they jump the ball back to the back cap when the guy puts both caps next to each other and scoots them over at same time. This guy is doing something way more advanced and it’s probably his set up is rigged
It's always in his hand. The pea is rubber and against the felt, it allows the operator to move the cap backwards or forwards to either place or remove the pea. It's a scam, you will lose every time. You only win if the operator wants you to win.
actually they really don't ... ive seen them rely on actors to help them confuse! also another big move I saw was the quickly move the cups when the person/victim is going for the money in their walet, they switch the cups super fast
I bet no money and the very last one I was sure I got right because it was the final cap you picked up, but of course, I became mortified at the ending result. Mind numbing.
I watched this in 0.25x speed and I still cant figure out how the pea teleported from one cap to another. Is there like a hidden 2nd pea or something where u hide the original when u show the pea in the other cap
If the operator somehow gets confused them self where the pea is wouldn't this end up as a Schrödinger's shell game where the pea is both under the cup and not there at all until somebody looks?
I lost my last R200 to this game. Seemed easy in the beginning, but things changed very quickly. I was so heartbroken. But even after watching this video, I can't see how you reveal the trick behind this game. it's like they just magically teleport to another cup.
Also with this game, there is normally an accomplice that actually loses money by picking the obvious wrong one, while those watching sees the correct one. But when the others play, that's when the shell game guy does his "magic" and takes all of your money.
Man I actually got suckered by this game today in the mall! I had no idea! And still have no idea even after watching this how you got that P behind your back! 🤦🏾♂️
I actually got the last one. Like fr i did get it but it was for only 1 reason i remembered the eps in hxh where gon picks the guy behind him to have the coin so i just chioce like him and i actually got it right
If you want to do the real deal, loose the pad, Workers use a flattened pizza box. The real workers set it on top of a couple of cardboard boxes that have had the tape cut on all sides. If you have to make a quick departure, kick the boxes agent the wall and split. The boxes will flatten out and blend in with rest of the street trash, and them if they even bother to look.
Thanks, yes if I were on the streets I would definitely do that. I did actually film it on the wooden block first, but aesthetically for the camera, the red and green show up better against a black background.
Lmao u can't be serious. The guy had the pea in his hands the whole time. It's all about angles. When he does the first swipe look how when he lifts up the cap the pea is at the back of the cap.. it was never really under the cap if you look closely. He dropped it as he was lifting the cap. Same thing with making it dissapear all together. How he gets it out from under the cap is cuz the pea is rubber and it sticks to the pad. So if he barely lifts up the cap and moves it forward the pea comes out behind it and he uses his other fingers to grab it. Then when they want to put it back under a cap the drop the ball behind the cap and barely lift up the back of the cap and pull it backwards and it forces the rubber pea back under the cap. So if u ever see this game in the streets just look for the very last cap that the guy pulls backwards and the pea will be under it.
These are just ordinary coke bottle tops. They work absolutely fine. I prefer the red (rather than the white caps that come with the bootcamp dvd), as I think it stands out better against the black.
The only way to play the game fairly is if you and the host agree to lift the other two shells after your choice shell is lifted just to ensure the ball wasn't in the host's hand the entire time and was actually under one of the three shells.
I was scammed at the mall for $500 smh I had no knowledge about this. I should’ve known the people around me was in on it by the way they was hyping me up.
@@ThePirett he’s based in USA so I would have thought so. I just had a look. The dvd you want is Bob’s 3 Shell Boot Camp, but it’s not easy to find. However if you look for school for scoundrels magicians (not the film) they put out a lot of products for the 3 shell game. If you check out Penguin Magic you’ll find some of their products on there. www.penguinmagic.com/p/4849
@@ThePirett haha thank you very much for your interest, but It’s not my trick to teach. Unlike most other RU-vidrs, I do follow the magic code of respecting someone else’s work enough not to give away their secret.
How long did it take u to get this good, I’m not gonna stand on a sidewalk and rob people I just wanna know if it’s easy or not, u could trick the smartest people in the world and they would have no idea what u did, I’ve replayed certain parts of the video and I can’t see anything happening, have u been practicing for years like a side hobby or u just learned this in a couple weeks
Thanks for your comments. This routine took me quite a while to perfect - about 6 months. I study magic effects I like and then just practice them until I get them down to a fairly decent standard. I’m not a particularly fast learner, so it often takes me longer than it would other people. It’s a really fun routine to practice though.
I guessed it right every single time bro bc I’m that good. I made thousands conning the cons like not even David blane can trick me bro I’m just that good
Beautiful work explaining the 3 cup trick or in this case the 3 shell trick, traditionally it was performed by a "confidence trickster" using walnut shells (half shells) and a PEA. This confidence trick falls under the description of the "short-con" as opposed to the "long-con" that would take considerably longer, but could potentially rake in greater gains to the con-man. The Coca-Cola Caps are a nice modern touch, the traditionalists prefer the the half-walnut shell, as it more closely resembles the half-brain of persons that fall for such a trick. Collin shows some of the moves that the con-man will use to trick the 'victim', using 'sleight-of-hand', using 'misdirection' & using 'manual dexterity', all to deceive the unsuspecting to where the fuck - is the actual pea? First of all Mr Claus shows us the "CROSS STEAL", where the Pea is somehow deflected away from where it was, and over to some other place, almost as if by magic. The Cross Steal can also take on greater significance, it can mean a loss of faith, it can mean a loss of culture, it can mean a loss of customs (where you then take-on ever multiplying marmots and their kissing cousins customs) it can mean a loss of identity, it can mean A LOSS OF THE CROSS. The "LOSS-OF-THE CROSS" is a LOSS-OF-ONE'S-SELF. Immediately afterwards, you have "THE SWIPE", which is an empty-handed 'follow-up' direct consequence of the initial Cross Steal, the sleazy, slimy, slivering con-man then follows that up by initiating the Swipe, whereby he takes the "Precious Pea" (PP) out of the shell you thought it was in, and then 'transfers' the "Pea Unit" (PU) into the empty shell of another half-walnut, deceptively moving the 3 shells around like he's tying up the "pig-tail" of a close family member. The swipe is meant TO TAKE AWAY something valuable, to take away something that has MONEY-MAKING POTENTIAL, that is the con trick called THE SWIPE. To add further insult to injury, he con-man then always initiates THE DOUBLE SWIPE, which follows THE SWIPE, after taking YOUR MOST VALUABLE POSSESSION, he then MAKES MONEY OUT OF SHAKING-DOWN YOUR MONEY MAKER. Once the "TRIPLETE" of deceptions & deceit have been completed, that being the 'hat- trick' of the Cross Steal, the Swipe, and the double-down Double Swipe, the meandering slimy snaky con-man will then initiate the "CONFUSION MOVE", installing a bamboozling loopy, kooky, dipping, dizzying maneuver, that's meant to 'distract' the 'Pea-body" from where the Pea actually is, that's the Confusion Move.The con-man always has complete control of where the Pea always is, HE CAN SHOW YOU THREE SHELLS & he can then show you ONE PEA, which would signify that you may have a one-in-three-chance, 2 win a piece of the pea, or win a piece of the pie. NO. The con-man controls the 1Pea/3shells leaving you with JUST NOTHING BUT EMPTY SHELLS. I will explain quickly what is what in this game, by far the most important concept that must be realized and understood, is the connection between THE PEA & THE MONEY, please my people, understand thoroughly THE SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP between "the Pea & the money" & "the money & the Pea" - THEY ARE THE ONE AND THE SAME. That is why the slimy con-man gets into your faces, making threats, making menacing warnings, coercing their victims under complete duress, for them to give up the culture they once had, and trade that in for the status of 'Captive' or maybe 'Hostage', perhaps some of them over time begin to suffer from the psychological disorder 'STOCKHOLM SYNDROME' - In this case THE DROMID DROME IS ACTIVATED BY DROMID DRONES. *I have very quickly explained the PEA/MONEY, after the gym, I will explain the 3 shells, and I will also explain THE PONZI SCHEME STRUCTURE of "THE PEA & THE MONEY"
As with the paper I had written yesterday, for some unknown reason, I had a great amount of the work 'erased' through a mysterious "glitch", it was specifically the work that was making the points about the definition of the meaning of GENOCIDE, and the work I'm sure was saved by other people who are working to prevent to total collapse of the Western cultures that have shaped the world. The definition of genocide that the UN CHARTER adopted these conditions immediately after the horrors of WW2, they went on to call it the.......CONVENTION ON THE PREVENTION AND PUNISHMENT OF THE CRIME OF GENOCIDE (CPPCG) -------------------> its states: Genocide is a denial of a right of existence of entire human groups, as homicide is the denial of the right to live of individual human beings, such denial of the right of existence shocks the conscience of mankind, results in great losses for humanity in the form of cultural and other contributions represented by these human groups, and is contrary to moral law and the spirit and aims of the United Nations. Many instances of such crimes of GENOCIDE have occurred when racial, religious, political, and other groups have been destroyed, entirely or in part. -----------UN Resolution 96(1), 11 December 1946 So it is clearly stated what it actually means, but the most critical points here are the points made about "the denial of a right of existence" and also how it goes on to "shock the conscience of mankind", resulting in "great losses for humanity", these are all happening before our very eyes, and we're not talking about some African dictatorship, some hell-hole 3rd world country, we are talking about a modern, free, Western democracy, the usually desirable nation of Australia. If we started to have a very close look, an inspection, an analysis, an investigation into the CRIMINAL, CYNICAL, ABUSIVE, REPULSIVE behaviors of a gang of TURKEY-HEADED VULTURES who have now terrorized an entire gang that used to be called "The Pikies" branch in Sydney, the knuckle-dragging vultures, demanded entry into the gang, so they could then take all the people in the gang as CAPTIVES, HOSTAGES, PRISONERS, SLAVES and go onto the job of HEAVY-DUTY EXPLOITATION, using the very young girls as personal sex-slaves, in fact, it has been said everywhere that this gang of Turkish/ Lebanese abusers are nothing but PEDOPHILES, as they have been recorded in many instances, getting into rooms with girls as young as 13 or 14, and by the time they are 15 or 16 - they are being shipped around Sydney, as HARD-CORE call-girls performing acts that I cannot repeat here, but that the girls themselves can verify, THIS IS UNDERAGE PROSTITUTION, DARK WEB FILMING, PEDOPHILIA, MIND CONTROL GAMES, MASS GANG RAPES, DRUGGING AND RAPING - IT IS IBBY. The amount of sexual exploitation has been allowed to go unchecked, it is a sick and sad reminder for all of us, what can happen when we all turn a blind eye to the reality of what is going on, these girls have been USED & ABUSED from the moment they perhaps spring a couple of pubic hairs, the half-wit, fuck-wit leader of this gang of cowards is named IBBY (the drip-fed) SHIT-DRIBBLER, and I would not know where to start to describe the TURKEY-HEADED VULTURE HORROR STORIES, they have been abusing these girls for over 15 years, and the abuse just ramps up year-after-year, the cowardly bunch of Middle Eastern wannabe pretend gangsters are as soft as a bunch of CARAMELO KOALAS, attempting their best efforts to look tough, to act tough, but the PLASTIC GANGSTERS melt like yellow marsh-mellows in the sunshine, they only ever GO LOOKING AROUND FOR SOFT TARGETS - exactly what happened to the poor unsuspecting Sydney Pikies, the bunch of THV plastic gangsters threatened them, THREATENING A LEBBO WAR, if they not let them into their gang, with the express goals of getting their dirty, filthy, turkey-headed vulture claws into the young girls of the Pikie gang, young white, western European ladies, who were about to be used like SEXUAL SLAVES, driven around Sydney, performing the TURN AROUND ACTS, whatever that means, as I have only heard it mentioned so many times, the atrocity here is the young vulnerable girls are just treated like shit-slaves, and in most cases they are not even paid, just shipped around like cattle, performing turkey, turnip-turn- arounds for all of Lebboland, the Lebs not even talk to them, so as to not let the girls realize how LOW IQ these fuckwits really are, they just say turn around, turn around. The array of horror stories is only just coming out, the young girls and ladies, as some had been assaulted in the past, and are now grown up and adults, some have maybe managed to escape the grips of these cowardly, scumbucket slimebags, who are now universally known as the TURKEY-HEADED VULTURES, they come empty handed, with absolutely nothing to offer, they are dimwitted, boring as a month full of torrential rains, full of themselves, full of shit lies & deceit, they bring nothing, they offer even less, they contribute only more & more inbred cousins to your culture, they help only themselves, they add nothing - they only ever take & take some more, they share nothing of their own - the mega-parasites just take your share, they come smiling a shitty false smile, that is never a smile of friendship, it only reeks to high-heaven of manipulative menace. These lowlifes are going around destroying cultures, destroying lives, destroying the ability for people to live a normal life, they are slime that are attempting to simulate the re-emergence of the New Ottomans (NO) and I'm certain there is not a soul in existence that wants to see that shit floating around acting like they are your "owners" because from what I have seen, these bunch of parasites have been very busy, working feverishly to SUBJUGATE PEOPLES, the Pikies in particular seem to have been like the "main group that has fallen victim" they fell like daisies in a tundric thunderstorm, the guys, the men who should have been protecting their girls and women, just simply rolled-over like fluffy puppy dogs, rolling out the red carpet, and allowing the total disintegration of their people, their culture & identity, which have all been GANGRENED. *The entire episode of "Pikie Roll-Over" has been characterized as SCOOBY DOO DAY, unfortunately for the Original Pikie men, they must correct their mistakes to avoid an everlasting shame, they must now face the facts of previous failures, and fix them. I have managed to get a little carried away, writing the sad-reality of the downfall of the Sydney branch of the Pikies, and again, as with yesterday, i have not been able to get around to writing the crux of the story, as with this 2nd chapter of the 'genocide files' or if you like of the turkey-headed vulture 'genocide philes', it rings alarm bells that need to be answered, THIS SHIT CANNOT STAND, we need to eliminate the problem, we need to help the young girls, we need to establish a network of people who can help these very young, defenseless girls escape the grip of these animals, the opportunistic, parasitic, bloodsucking leeches, looking for targets, looking for victims, looking for white, western European girls to use as sex-slaves, they then have the hide to denigrate them, call them all manner of insulting put-downs, very racially motivated, abusive, debasing, deriding, offensive insults, often calling them 'your just a white slut', 'your only good for sucking cock', 'the only thing your good for is for bending over', 'turn around..........turn around' - all this with specific intent to leave them completely demoralized and feeling the only thing they can do is be a short time prostitute for the slimy, bloodsucking parasitic Lebboland, at their mercy. *Tomorrow I'll give a detailed account on what is A SOFT GENOCIDE (long course) *Note: Anyone who can help the girls with knowledge, with jobs, with mentor-ship, please help them get through this critical time in their lives, anyone that has contact with these girls, make sure to be understanding, any of the girls themselves that can now easily MAKE FIRST-HAND WITNESS ACCOUNTS - help end this cycle of abuse.
It is obvious. He picks it up and replaces it when he picks up the cap that it should not be under. Try it on a hard surface not an anti-bounce black fabric.
Thank you :) It's not my routine, but check out Bob Sheets One Minute Work-out for the 3 shell Game. It's the best tutorial on this subject and teaches this exact routine.
