Three Shell GameTom OsbourneThe Three Shell Game can still be seen today performed on the streets to fleece the innocent from their hard earned cash.

Clown NosesAaron IsaacsThis is a sponge ball routine with a very pleasant theme. The effect is: Magician asks a female spectator: "Have you ever seen a clown?"

What you may not realize is if you pull on one just right...it splits in two." The magician pulls at the one ball with both hands and produces a second one at his fingertips. "Now, clown noses are very lonely beings, when you place them into a dark place, like your hand," the magician sets one ball... | ★★★★★ $5 to wish list | |

Triple Colour Cups and BallsLeo LeslieFrom the Foreword When the manuscript arrived from Denmark, Edwin asked me to look through it and give him an opinion. I was intrigued when I read it; whilst the moves appeared to be based on the old "Cups and Corks", Leo had added tremendous impact to it by the introduction of COLOUR.

Admittedly, the 'Cups and Balls' has been done before in colour, but not with the clean simplicity of the present routine. So rake out that set of cups you have in the cupboard (or nip out and buy three plastic beakers), obtain... | ★★★★★ $5 to wish list | |
