The 3 Shell Game

let me show you I should never play this game for money this is the famous three shell game the game is simple the P starts under a central cap the caps get moved around and all you have to do is bet on where you think the P will end up seems simple right but this game is over 500 years old and people still get convert every single day so I'm going to show you what moves to watch out for so watch the P watch the cap now this first move here is called the cross steel see as my hands cross I got out from this one and underneath this one here this move here it's called the swipe C as my hand swipes in front I got an amp this one here and underneath this one here of course then you've also got the double swipe which looks like this so again as my hand swipes in front I could have got it out from either of these two and underneath this one here so as you can see this game is not quite so easy to wind however I'll simplify it by just using two caps now this is the confusion move I move the caps very quickly over the P to try and confuse you then when I do the move maybe not quite so sure now many of you would probably bet on this one here but even if you bet on this one he would still lose because it'd always be under the one you didn't expect in fact some people say that the only way you could ever win this game is if the operator stood with his hands away from the table but then it wouldn't be much of a game however I'll take this hand and put it behind my back to make this game a little bit fairer so watch the P watch the cap caps get moved around where were you bet one two or three now people that were watching probably go for number two people that were just guessing will probably go for number three but very few of you would stay on track and realize the P is in the hand behind my back and this is why I should never play the three shell game for money
