Cups and Balls

[TheLastOne36]

Discuess them!

I never got fooled by one before in my life.

I've been trying to figure out some tricks with them when I'm bored though. Any ideas?

Or rather, anyone know how to do tricks with them?

That is a shell game. Cup and Ball is very different.

That is a cup, but I see no balls.

Moderator Action: No will anyone else either. If you can't keep this appropriate, I will close it.

That depends on how the game is played. If legit, most people can keep track of it. A lot of scam artists will swipe the ball from underneath the shell though, so you have a 0/3 chance instead of a 1/3 chance.

Yeah, they swing the cup to the edge of the table just enough for the ball to pop out.

And it's "shell game".

That was the first thing I thought of when I heard of the thread title.

Wait, wait, wait, you're saying Xykon doesn't have brothers?

It took me about a minute to figure out what you were saying. Man, that chapter was a while ago.
