Hi I'm going to be travelling down the hudson river towards new york city (possibly farther) in the next few weeks with my brother on a sailboat, and I was thinking about doing some three card montes or pea game hustling to make some side cash when we stop at the ports. I could even do the Cups and balls or other card magic and coins. Does anyone have any experience with this?
magicly,

Unless your brother's a really good look out, I'd avoid monte/shell games in NYC. The only reason the scam artists get away with it is because they've got a crew watching for the cops. (Hey, I think it turns out most of the crowd watching is in on it and they're watching the one guy they've picked to be their sucker.)

If you get caught you'll be going "UP THE RIVER" instead of down the river.

If I you weren't hustling people out of their money I would help you....but since your post gives me a bad vibe. I think I will pass.

The people with experience making money with 3 card monte and 3 shell game all live in a New York town called Sing Sing. The good thing is that it you have FREE room & meals for a couple of years.

It's not clear if you mean if want to do the routine or the scam.
If it's the second one,then you should post in the Gambling Spot.Even better,think again and set up a good busking show,you may make some change. |

He could be, but I hope not.
