Do Golden Shells get you hassle less by authority when street performing?
Thanks in Advance |

Interesting question. Perhaps if your character is obviously an entertainer than street hustler it might make a difference. On the other hand, they may just think you're trying to hide your true motives and haul you in anyway. In that case, say bye bye to the pretty shells.
No trees were killed in the making of this message, but a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

Used to work at the gates of Newbury Race Course with the shells and monte, going back a few years now.
Got heat from the Old Bill so changed the format,,start with the usual shells giving stage notes for the speckies to bet with, bring in a chop cup to cover the shell with pea instead of the usual glass. Cop pea loading a lemon into cup, do Jennings reload for second lemon. Introduce your hat into section cover the cup (Its going to vanish) Cod vanish and come back, Load Large die or coconut under hat, show second lemon and reload third lemon as per Jennings. Show three lemons and final large hat load,,,finish. This whole routine was a camio and complete on its own. Got me paid work with Globe Victory (Ford Motor Co) At every race course in the UK over a season. So by upgradeing away from the gamble towards the magic more, worked and paid dividends for me. I think its the way its approached could be the problem. Ken. |

I was doing 3 shell game cover with chop cup with green ball already loaded. Pick up cup dislodge ball and say to spec when pea is gone I know what your thinking its under cup lift cup showing green ball load lime and say this isn't the pea that freaked me out this one is lift cup showing lime. I now want to keep it a little more gaming feel. I am thinking a sign that says magic may keep it cool with authorities. Thanks |

I did 3 shell for decades on the streets and only had hassles twice. Stop worrying. As long as you're not betting you're cool. Offer a prize to the smartest person in the crowd and it turns into a game not a con.
