Street scam in Barcelona

The video starts with a American tourist with a black t-shirt being pushed towards the table to place a bet by one of the accomplished Romanians in a white and blue shirt and the being scammed for 50 euros and than walks away.
00:09 The old guy with a blue shirt and the guy in a black shirt with orange and white stripes are altos accomplished.

At 00:47 the guy in the black shirt with orange and white stripes places a bet on the left shell after the con man has shuffled them around and wins. An accomplished on the right side starts clapping.

At 00:57 the accomplished clapping guy places a bet on the middle shell although its clear for the people that are watching that the ball is under the right shell.

The con man shuffles the shells around and on 01:06 the con man makes a "mistake" so the ball is visible under the middle shell.

At 01:10 the guy in the black shirt with orange and white stripes wants to place a bet on the center one, but the con man don't want him to place a bet because he has already won once.

The guy in the guy in the black shirt with orange and white stripes starts clapping and at 01:25 the con man hands a American tourist 50 euros to play. He agrees and wants to pick up the center one. But the con man stops him takes back his money and want the guy to place his own money. He gives the man 50 euros but the con man wants him to place a larger bet. (Because now he knows that he is going to pick the center shell). The guy on the left is clapping. And now all the accomplished people is gathering around him and wants him to place a larger bet. At 01:48 the guy guy uses his magic skills and changes the ball from the center shell to the left one while he is screaming at the guy to place a larger bet.

At 01:56 the guy picks up the center shell and walks off 100 euros less.

The con man walks after him to give him a chance to win his money back but the tourist has learned from his mistake and walks off.

Do not play the shell game!

I know this scam and that guy lost so much money

here is the tricks-

first he will get you in the games by letting you win a max of 5 times

then after he will suddenly make eye contact or you will get distracted

when you look at him he will shuffle like crazy

your money is lost

don't look up you will always win

It's like a tiny casino; the House always wins, minus small concessions to fool people into thinking the have a chance of winning.
