Brass Chip Monte

You present three pretty, shiny brass caps, which you place next to each other on the table. A large red metal chip is placed under the middle one, and coins under the other two.... Slowly swap the three caps several times and the spectator is asked not to lose sight of the cap under which the chip is hidden. At the first attempt, the spectator succeeds at first go. But then you swap the caps a little faster and now the spectator can guess as he likes, but he will always miss. The red chip is always located where the spectator does not expect it to be. After you have driven all the spectators to sheer despair, you offer to help: You place a dice on the cap under which the chip is located. Again the three caps are mixed up and the spectator is asked where the chip is. Of course he will tap on the cap with the dice. It sounds incredible, but the spectator has guessed wrong again. The chip is under a completely different cap, while under the one with the dice a coin now suddenly appears. Immediately, the spectator can examine all three caps. Even if it sounds improbable, you can perform this routine without much difficulty immediately after receiving the fantastically beautiful props. If you like, this is a "fully automatic nutshell game with chips and coins"!!! There are many possible uses and variations with the props supplied. We describe a wealth of routines of varying degrees of difficulty, the elements of which you can also combine with each other to create completely new routines. The caps and the chip are made of precious brass, the caps are clear varnished against tarnishing and therefore a real feast for the eyes! In addition, you will receive "Charly's success lecture", in which your audience will learn how you fell for a "shell game player"!
