@MrMacgeek1 This surface is deerskin glued on plywood. My favorite surface is smooth, unfinished plywood; but because I work mostly on the street, a number of variables can make that impractical. If the surface isn't level or the wind blows, the pea wanders. Lately, I've taken to the simplest solution, a magician's close-up mat laid on plywood within a picture frame. The frame reduces wind and prevents the pea from escaping over the edge. A hard surface mystifies the audience. Thanks!
@tjv323 Thank you so much for noticing, tjv323! Foghorn Leghorn is my favorite cartoon character of all time, and his one-liners are Roscoe's fall-back outs for every tricky situation. A drunk girl laid her goods on the table one night and told me to pick one while her hair-trigger boyfriend got ready to slug me. I said, "Woah there, young lady! You'd better turn down the fandango!" Diffused the situation instantly with laughter. Nobody got embarrassed -- or punched.
@tjv323 For a noisy kid who won't shut up: "Son, you make as much racket as two skeletons fighting on a tin roof in a hailstorm!" For someone who hesitates in choosing a shell: "Don't just stare at 'em like a cow looking at a new gate. Pick one!" For someone who is speechless: "Don't just stand there. Elucidate!" Foghorn Leghorn is the absolute greatest source of one-liners for this act.
Thank you chuckie486. I take a huge amount of pride in knowing my fellow practitioners appreciate the Shagbarks. I set out to sculpt and produce the best handling shells ever made,so your comment means a lot to me.
Incidentally, as soon as I make back my investment money on the Shagbarks, I'm going to reinvest it in a new shell, one specifically for pirate, vampire, and goth magicians and their events. They[ll have the same kinds of handling characteristics the Shagbarks have, but they'll have the necessary macabre characteristics.
I lost 860 dollars to a hustlin ass nigger at hub city dragway in hatiesburg to this bullshit game imma put a pistol in his mouth and rob his stupid black no job havin ass next weekend when i see him out there again!! Good luck with this hoax makin money just dont ever cross the wrong person with it!!!!!
Good luck finding him. Pros move on quickly. Also, a real scam artist doesn't work alone -- too easy to get a "mark" like you mad. The pros work the scam as a mob. Try something on the operator, and you're likely to be pushing up daisies with a couple of knives in your back and a sap over the back of your head -- all from out of nowhere. Me, I'm a magician, so it's all just for fun, and not a single dime crosses hands in my game. It gets serious when money is on the line.
Ya i been askin people who go out there a lot and they say he only comes to big events so the next one out there you can believe that there is goin to be a lot of my friends and from watchin scams on here he will have at least three schills or more but hes gonna need about thirty because we rollin in deep gettin my money back and we gettin out fast! Im not gonna be taken for a months worth a work to a game thats impossible to win at. At least if it had been a casino i would have some free rooms!
Sure will man . But dang if your a magician and you live in biloxi and your good at gamblin maybe i should bring about a grand down there you meet me at the imperial palace where i play baccarat and black jack from time to time and i let you do the gamblin and maybe you will win big and we split the money and i wont be riskin my life over this black guy.LOL Im just kiddin but its a good thought.
Thanks robertp23. Got to pass. I'm a good street magician, but I'm no gambler. Of course, the shell game isn't gambling anyway -- especially for the operator. Been fun corresponding with you, and I'll look forward to hearing from you from time to time.
May I ask what your performing table material is made of? Thanks

I purchased a set of your "Shagbark Shells" from Steven's. A great product. The best shells I've ever used. Good luck with your future projects.
