[00:00:00] Gentlemen, it's your option.
[00:00:02] Anyone can play any man, child, woman, born alive can tell me where the black queen lies.
[00:00:08] You bet fast, you can't last, you bet slow, you gotta go.
[00:00:11] Anybody, save a blind man, broke man of the police man.
[00:00:14] If you broke, please stand back and eat police around.
[00:00:17] Let me know.
[00:00:18] I'm more than happy to go.
[00:00:19] The idea, ladies and gentlemen, is to find the black queen.
[00:00:22] The name of the game, of course, is Sidewalk Shuffle, Free Card Monty, Chase the mark, you'll never see it coming. If you're the one who just placed money on the table, you've lost big. And that makes you a sucker in a game you can never win.
[00:01:45] Records show the first appearance of the stage alone before an empty house. If you want to see how the game is played, you can go online or plenty of videos. Today, we're going to talk about how the game really works and it has very little to do with cards.
[00:03:06] The reality is that we set this game up so he can't see what's going on because the crowd is so tight around table, he doesn't get a view of what we're actually doing. The thrower or tosser, who is normally the guy
[00:04:22] in charge of the game, he's the head guy of that game,
[00:04:25] makes the excitement and the
[00:05:40] sucker is the guy that's willing to stop to see
[00:05:42] what all the excitement is about.
[00:05:45] There are ways that we can qualify a mark, but we don't attract the mark. The game attracts the mark, and then the mark finds us." The shills, by the way, take great care in how they look. One may be a stoner, another a business person, a construction worker, any group of characters that appears not to know one another. Each shill knows how to play every character in the game, including the tosser.
[00:07:04] By changing roles, it's less likely that moment a sucker comes to the thought that I need to show him, I need to like make a point for him or I need to prove him wrong or I need to teach him a lesson as a big one.
[00:08:20] I need to teach him a lesson about why he shouldn't yell at me.
[00:08:24] As soon as we get him to do that in his head, and we created this new world that when we open the gate, close the gate. We started talking to him and befriending him and telling him about shills and telling the cheating that got me have heard these kind of words before, because he doesn't quite know what he's heard them. He can't wrap his mind around it, but we're showing him in this new world, cheating is okay.
[00:09:42] Taking his answers is okay.
[00:09:44] They're going to do it. would put a knife in me, you know in a second and I'm sorry I just couldn't do it and whatever you do Don't run to the cops what you're doing is racketeering you're as guilty as them and the cops will arrest you because you just
[00:11:02] Admitted you're a part of it and one is it? Here you take them.
[00:12:21] In fact, what he actually did was he held out the piece,
[00:12:23] not under either one of them.
[00:12:24] And whichever one she turns over,
[00:12:26] he lifts up the other ones to show that to where it was.
[00:12:28] So she couldn't win. guys it's very slowly walking, not trying to be stealth, he's not sneaking up, he's just funtering along and making his way over to the table. One of the guys he's the cop makes a little sign and everybody dissipates and what's left is some guy who apparently lost quite a bit of money,
[00:13:41] his wife who was outside of the table kind bail them out and they'll go right back to work. Most of Sheff's work is in
[00:15:00] trade shows and he does that without ch wasted. But we make it sound like doing them a favor because I'm saving them time and telling them what we're expecting, what they're going to get out of the show, and who to speak to, to get their answers so they can move on to the next booth. So it's the same psychology as three card money, but it's not underhanded and sneaky.
[00:16:24] It's 100% transparent and very professional.
