I was expecting him to reveal how he does it.

[@archim3dis]

when he moves a shell to the front he lifts the back of the shell so the ball rolls out into your palm, the other way round you can place the ball under any shell

[@onlyinoc]

The bottom of the shell is not flat for a purpose. At 3:32 he pushes the shell forward and tilts it up enough to remove the ball and then pinches it between his fingers and grabs another shell and pulls it over the ball for the 🏆 Watch the hands💯🏁💯🏁

[@romeojames89]

It's a slide of hand trick using his fingers at the back of the shell when shuffling the shells

[@TheStevenWhiting]

I know what to look for but you've done it so well its really difficult to spot.

[@LexiLevy-m4f]

I had to watch it in .25% speed to see how he did it lmao

[@thelastdon6562]

He said all the above🤣

[@osahinmartinez3371]

Pinching it with the index and ring finger and covering it with the pinky almost like semi palming a coin

[@romeojames89]

Nailed it 👍🏿👍🏿

[@MrBDlaw]

So there is a way of winning. If you're sure you got the right shell then you don't. Choose another shell so therefore you have at least a 50% chance of winning.

[@TrickyNick79]

There is no way of winning. Even if you pick the right shell they won't pay you. They'll just run off into the crowd.

[@MrBDlaw]

@@TrickyNick79 has this happened to you. I couldn't see them doing this since there are so many people around them.

[@TrickyNick79]

@@MrBDlaw It has! I spent several months in Europe watching them work and say them take off on multiple occasions. They work off cardboard boxes or the ground with matchbox trays so they can run if they need to. They'll often resort to physical violence if need be. The only rule is never pay the victim.

[@thaxbest2180]

Would’ve been nice to see the sleight of hand move!!

[@BN99239]

The first one wasn't suppose to be a trick LOL

[@CutCopyPasta]

👏👏👏

[@plodonb.axeber1126]

Thumb is the key

[@TrickyNick79]

Nah, it is this finger. rlv.zcache.com/middle_finger_salute_retro_postcard-rb9b4162638de46008f79605de2e72d89_vgbaq_8byvr_324.jpg

@@TrickyNick79 The real key is your approach Nicholas. This is the reason why your subscribers are less than expected. This is the reason nobody want your product that you are trying to sell. You already know that the secret of this trick is everywhere in KZbin and internet. If someone give some indirect revealing comment about your "very old - everybody know it - scam trick", your reply should be in professional way. You can approach someone in a positive manner just like most of the magician. I saw your arrogance and you are always unprofessional. Hope you realize it.

@@TrickyNick79 WTF is wrong with u bro?!

[@sinalbertckwong6406]

....let say, I bet/pick the nut is in the left shell. As the "dealer" open the right shell (being the dealer know this right is empty), to show you show the nut is not there. You open the centre shell to show the nut is not there also. Hence the dealer has no choice but to make sure the nut that he is holding "out of sight" his hand MUST BE IN THE (REMAINING) LEFT SHELL. WALLA, YOU "WON" BECAUSE THE NUT MUST BE IN THE LEFT SHELL. OTHERWISE, THE DEALER/MAGICAN WOULD BE EXPOSED AS A CHEAT RATHER THAN/OR THE EXPERT/MAGICIAN.

[@TrickyNick79]

You're not allowed to touch my nuts during the game. Or at anytime. Don't touch my nuts.

[@redneckincanada]

That music is annoying as fuck.

[@bobtudbury8505]

click bait rubbish

[@feilin0423]

If a person can be that stupid to fall into that kind of trap then let it be ! God is fair.

[@TrickyNick79]

Pretty sure God, if they exist, doesn't punish people for being stupid. If they do, I'm big trouble...
