I like the sound of the "Trade Show Shells" Can any body tell me about the good and bad points about them?
I don't want to buy a wasit of time of stuff, so any advice on them will be great.

1)They take up quite a bit of table space but well worth the extra size of prop. 2)Effect on the layman is excellant.3)These shells get attention all on their own. 4)I have altered the routine to fit my style and they play great indoors and out. 5)Working slowly to start then speeding up to a fast finaly works better for me. 6)As an extra I give the giant £ notes away on completion. 7) This is nothing like the old shell and pea routine (More like a mixture of shell,pea and cups and balls. 8) Tip, make the climax your own !! Reccomended. Bad points, I find that the peas tend to ware too quickly, props are a bit bulky for the streets.

I've worked a pitch with a friend of mine and he used to open with the normal sized three shell game. And I was always amazed by how easily and quickly he gathered a crowd with that routine. It was like a magnet. Amazing.
