Bob Sheets - Three Shell Game

I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with the legendary Bob Sheets. Here he is doing his amazing version of the three shell game. Posted with his permission.

[@donbaxley5530]

The guy is smooth! Even when you know how he does it you can not see it. That is what makes it so great to me.

[@robertadams9513]

He has 2 balls the balls are in his fingers

[@moviemaker3000]

I really like this guy's performance. He's very friendly and likable!

[@gowdsake7103]

And a thief !

[@filipvancaeneghem1343]

@@gowdsake7103 Did he steal something? I didn't see that in this video...

[@dougall360]

Love this presentation! he presents it as the scam that people are accustomed to but he buts a spin on it so the spectators arent made to feel stupid! One of the best 3 shell routines Ive ever seen

[@gowdsake7103]

But they ARE stupid

[@bRadicalmagic1]

I got to be on a cruise ship for Magicians with Bob. Bob is a whole lot of fun !

[@todtalk3912]

At least hes being brutally honest

[@glennbishopbishthemagish]

I have been doing the shell game since the 60s. However I heard about Bob Sheets doing it from Whit Haden when I performed at the Magic Castle. I am glad I got to see it, in a performance setting for a real audience.

[@FMTV.Vol.1]

He had two balls. Keep watching his right hand. He doesn’t open it up after he slides the shell back.

[@alexmousley7213]

Lovely presentation as well as technical excellence- I'd love to be able to do this trick as well one day. Bob Sheets comes across as a totally likeable, funny guy.

[@ravin5798]

He did a good job. I like this routine

[@matthewengheta59]

Saw him do the exact routine at a convention in Kentucky, Class act all the way!

[@rikupajari]

Met Bob in 2008 while he visited Finland. Great guy!

[@magicmurlo]

This is smooth, and I like it!

[@mackenroll6914]

He is amazing.

[@DetroitsProduct]

That’s almost devilish!

[@spookyfizz]

The second trick is absolutely amazing. I can’t see where he palms the pea. The other two I got him. But number two is very slick.

[@hiepvu5199]

hes quick with his fingers

[@frenchbullfrog]

We all bow down to the Sheets Man !

[@gmamagillmore4812]

I ordered Bob's video, good investment.

[@virtualriot4062]

very impressive and enjoyable to spectate

[@thedudeabides2010]

Nice job Bob !

[@weaktime5805]

Really great video

[@NANA-bg1pq]

I have to admit he got me when he got me when he started using two peas took me a second.

[@alextaylor8776]

I saw him put the pea under the shell on the right at the end but I can’t figure out how he got the pea from under the box.

[@Magictricks628]

5:00 is an amazing moment. Never seen that before.

[@gantz4u]

I caught the move everytime because I know the trick and still run away to avoid getting pick pocketed by the 6 accomplices. Everytime I see this I run and my gf always asks me why.

[@fmulder6564]

I'm just picturing you casually walking down the sidewalk holding hands with your gf. Then you notice a 3 card Monte game going on a block away, so you just do a 180 and run screaming at the top of your lungs. Then Bobby Sheets steals your girl.

[@chenelius]

Like a boss !

[@SeanSkyhawk]

Nice idea with the treasure chest finish! I reckon that would be a tough one to pull off, though.

[@add0n1]

Easy to anaLyze when the guy put the green pease or he remove it ,if his hand hoLding the shelL pulL backward ,its a chance he is putting the green pease ,so if he is hoLding the shelL push forward its mean he trying to remove the green pease from the shelL ,there are two green pease ,so be smart and dont Listen to his word of entertaining ,just keep watch his hands ,if you know the tricks how it works ,its easy to you know 😎🧐

[@deanatkinsonfilm5403]

People sitting around messing around wit their phones, like they see this every day.

[@duje8739]

does anyone know the name of the song that's playing in the background?

[@Sizzlik]

damn he is fast..perfect example of misdirection and sleight of hand

[@hezekiahamen8335]

First game it was in the middle shell

[@WILDCARDWORLD]

Is this at the veggie fear?

[@Arkesus]

What's that? Bob Sheets name in the description?? Instalike before watching. :)

[@robertadams9513]

He had 2 balls he didn't turn over the one the second guy chose then he turned it over and took the ball out

[@WILDCARDWORLD]

Whoops I meant fest not fear

[@jetlagchoc4007]

Always wanted 2 learn this so i can take mf'rs money

[@A.K.A.Topper]

There Is 2 Balls Believe Me

[@michaelscoofield]

He can be millionaire on the street quite quickly haha

[@serbanmarin5219]

that's why there's another reason to never play black and white, especially for money, because you'll never win them!

[@lumarkid]

he has 2 peas.. keep a close eye on his hand movement.. dont look at the shells

[@reddnewmillennium]

At least he’s doing it with chips and not real money. Because those guys are scams. I was a victim in the mall smh

[@SiiMPLYNOTORiiOUS]

Where gunna do the best on. Video ends

[@nitenitezzz9572]

Thanks a lot!!! Now I know how they fucking did that.......

[@santoshpss]

If you're interested in real-world physics, this article is for you. If not, simply ignore. All standing bodies of water are LEVEL (where level means no elevation or deviation from a given point to any other given point). This is a scientific fact because this is observable, testable, repeatable, measurable, and demonstrable by every single human being alive. This fact alone destroys the mathematical concept and religious idea known as the "heliocentric model". More specifically, this fact alone makes it impossible for human beings to live on the exterior of a pear-shaped sphere spinning at fantastical speeds going nowhere. Just before you start attaching straw man fallacies on to me, keep in mind these important things: There are three different sciences: Natural Science (deals with the Objective World) Social Science (deals with societies and the relationship between people in societies) Formal Science (deals with languages such as mathematics which bares no connection to the Objective World) "What is the shape of the earth I stand upon?" is a Natural Science question. Science does not belong to an institution or a group of people. It belongs to every single human being alive. We live in the present. Not in the past or the future. History can never be considered as a fact of reality in any way shape or form because of obvious reasons. We can't directly experience the past or the future. Just observing something is not a fact that something exists. We need observable, testable, repeatable, measurable, demonstrable practical facts for something to be considered as a part of the Objective World. There is a difference between the corporeal world (the physical world) and the visible world. The reason why we can't conclude something as a fact based on our observations is because we know things get smaller based on how far they're from us when we see them through our eyes. If I see a railroad, the lines look like they're converging, but we know that's impossible because people measured the lines, and the lines are parallel. The lines don't actually meet in real life, it's just how we see things. Our eyes are spherical, we see euclidean (planar) world through spherical eyes. Without physically testing, repeating, measuring, and accessing something in full three dimensions, it's impossible to know exactly what it is that we're trying to quantify. Looking up at the sky does not give you measurable proof of the earth you stand upon. It's like looking up at the light in your room and then measuring the floor based on that light. It's absurd. Images and videos are never considered as scientific facts because of obvious reasons. Images and videos can be manipulated, they're not tangible. We can't directly experience them. Mathematical equations bare no relation to the Objective World. Mathematics is just a language, like English. Just because something is mathematically correct does not mean it's real. It's like saying "I'm flying right now", even though the sentence is grammatically correct, I'm obviously not flying right now. "Gravity" is a mathematical concept, it's pseudoscience. It does not have any practical facts. Magical pulling forces don't exist in the Objective Reality. Motion only happens if something presses on something else (pressure variants). Pull is just a term for taking something closer to someone. Things falling down has got nothing to do with the shape of the earth. In the simplest sense, things that weigh more than air fall, and things that weigh less than air float. Why do things even fall? No one has any practical facts for why things even have weight. The mathematical theorists are making assumptions about why things are falling, but understand that those are just assumptions, not facts. The sky, the Moon, the Sun, and the Stars are all intangibles. If every single human being can't observe, test, repeat, measure, demonstrate something in a practical fashion, it is considered a belief, or pseudoscience. Can every single human being access these lights in the sky? Obviously not. Not to mention stars look like flashing lights when looked through a Nikon COOLPIX P900 (It's still not a fact of anything because we can't move around them in full three dimensions and use our senses). Admitting to yourself that you truly don't know something is the most honest realization you could have, it is how you progress further. For example, I do not know what the Sun is. The mathematical theorists are making assumptions of what the Sun is, and where it is located. They don't know what the Sun actually is, or where it is located. Unless I could move around the Sun in full three dimensions, the only possible honest stance I can have is "I don't know". Anything beyond that will be a belief. The only thing I know is that it's a light in the sky moving in a straight line across the sky (because of how our eyes work it looks like the Sun is moving in an arc across the sky, but the Sun is actually moving across the sky in a straight line). Another example, "I know the full dimensions of earth" is also a belief because I never explored the whole world to know the full dimensions. Remember, something only becomes a fact if it's observable, testable, repeatable, measurable, demonstrable by every single human being alive. In this case, each and every individual should explore the Objective World to its fullest extent, listening to "authorities" is just a belief. The world "map" is also a concept, because every single human being didn't explored the whole world to verify or falsify the map. People are believing in complete strangers and thinking the official "world map" is true and there is nothing more to explore because they see an imaginary blue sphere on their TV. Just because the majority of the population are believing something exists doesn't mean something actually exists in the Objective World. Once again, we need OTRMDPFs for something to be considered as a fact of the Objective Reality. Remember, beliefs are substitutes for knowing. Letters before your name does not mean anything. Direct experience is what's important. If I can't experience something directly then most of the time it's useless for me. I can only represent myself. Personalities are OUT of the question. If I drop a brick on my head I know what's going to happen. The objective reality does not change based on your subjective opinions or beliefs. It is what it is. Why is this important? Well, the government and its associations are BLATANTLY lying about our existence, the shape of the world, and the dimensions of the world. What's more important than finding out how far the world extends? Full exploration is needed for further understanding of life's most important questions: where are we, why are we here, and what does it all mean. Without knowing where we are, everything we do is just a concept. And the government claims resources are "limited". How come? For example, if I give you a board, and without giving you any instructions or rules, I want you to play a game. What game are you going to play? The government and its associations are telling you what you're suppose to do, what's expected of you, what you're not suppose to do. Who agreed to their "law" book? I certainly did not. How is it fair that the government and its associations (the police and the military) are imposing their subjective rules onto the human beings? Everyone has different rules about different things, subjective rules are PERSONAL, they're NOT objective. Just because some guy on the TV babbles on about his subjective opinions and rules doesn't mean they're OBJECTIVE. Forcefully imposing someone's subjective rules onto others is nothing short of tyranny. Why can't we freely explore the world as much as we like? Why is there a physical, and mental restriction by the police, the military, and by psychopaths known as the governments? Remember, no one rules if no one obeys. Another analogy: if I erase your memory and put you in a confinement, what is the first thing you're going to look for? Where's the exit. But if I put some actors to distract you by showing you books and telling you there is no exit, then you'll never try to even think about the exit. There will be other brainwashed people just like you who'll brainwash you even more. Then some other actors will tell you what to do, what's expected of you, what you're not suppose to do, and what's the punishment for breaking their god-given "law" book. Some other brainwashed people will also have weapons so that common people like you will forcefully follow my law book, which makes my job incredibly easy by making you a slave if that's what I was ever up to. Why should we accept slavery? Why should we accept strangers imposing their subjective versions of what's good and what's bad onto us? If you have OTRMDPFs (Observable, Testable, Repeatable, Measurable, Demonstrable Practical Facts) that large Standing Bodies Of Water can bend (sounds absurd to even think about it), please feel free to email me at [e-mail], but understand that I should be able to demonstrate your claims in a practical fashion, because that's how the Objective World works. No offense, but if your claims have no relation to the Objective World, then I'm afraid I have to conclude that you're either blatantly lying or you're really stupid (Or for some reason you want to defend your religious beliefs, because the Earth being a sphere is a religious belief, a mathematical concept, it has no facts, it has no relation to the Objective World). Remember, there is no fence. You're either aware or unaware of your surroundings, as Del said. I understood the facts of the Objective Reality thanks to Del from Beyond the imaginary curve: kzbin.info/door/vswlgeHodOejVN21TWweLw
