Diversions for the Shell & Pea game

Often when a spectator is challenged to find the pea and is continually shown to be wrong, hard feelings occur. At the least, both spectator and audience feel a general discomfort at being "fooled" over and over again. The routines provided in this manuscript are designed to eliminate those feelings and to make the Shell & Pea a magic effect with multiple surprise endings. Presented with levity and good humor these routines can be a reputation builder.

If you are unfamiliar with the 3 Shell Game effect, here is a sampling of just one of the routines offered in this manuscript:

The age old three shell con is described and demonstrated using three walnut shells and a pea. The performer tells how he lost his money at this game. An audience assistant is brought in and his money is put at risk. In the end the pea magically disappears leaving two super-large peas in the assistant’s hands, the shell covering the pea is found to be solid and the money changes to a souvenir of the performance.

A second routine "Psych-out Shells" is also provided, again with detailed instructions, and is designed especially for an adult audience.  The book also includes an extensive bibliography and sources of supply.
