3 shell game prop?

Postby dragon3003003 » Jul 2nd, '06, 19:29



I bought this trick a while back and was looking for the props the other day but was unable to find it. Now i am trying to do it with just bottle caps and the pea. I have the bottle caps but the problem now is that i cant find the pea. Can anyone tell me where i can buy this pea alone or the whole set for a fairly cheap price (I am not rich :lol: ) or can I make my own pea out of some housewhole appliances?

I am kind of looking for the rubber pea because of its special properties. I not saying that Misanthropy you dont know how this trick works but i just dont think that the frozen pea would work.

I don't know how this trick works but I have a book (paul zenon's street magic) where it tells you how to do it but I haven't got that far yet. I believe its similar to three cup monte also in his book

They're near the bottom of the page - hope these are what you're looking for :lol:

QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

If you want to do the 3 shell game, then an huge resource is the Schools for Scoundrels (s4s) website and forum
www.schoolforscoundrels.com

I am relatively new the the 3 shell game, but from all of the advice I have read, you can't do any better than using the scoundrels perfect peas which make any shells (including bottle caps) better. A good basic set of shells is the Vernet shells, although I went straight for the S4S street shells (the set includes the perfect peas) and I am very happy with them.

The S4S first DVD on the 3 shell game is also a fantastic learning resource and I highly recommend it.

Thanks
