Hello,
I'm wondering if you've considered including the Three Shell Game as part of the convention?
Much as Bill Palmer has included the Shells as part of his museum, they are a not so distant cousin of the C&B.

There are probably only upsides to including them for both the convention and for Shell workers and collectors.

It would bring in more folks to the convention while staying on topic.....and would offer Shell fans an opportunity to participate in this event, because as a group it's probably too small to go it on their own.

It would also open up an invitation to dealers like Whit Hayden and Andrew Pinard.

Of course I'm highly biased, and would love to hear you say "yes".......but really just put it out there for your thoughts.

Cheers!

Works for me... Shells fit easily in pockets, so even if it was cups only, I'd still have a set or three with me.

You bring a great point to the table. Why not the shells?

I don't see why not, I am no expert in the 3 shells. So, I would need some help finding a person to lecture and maybe do a workshop.

So, Three shell if you want to work with me on this PM me and we can see where this goes.

The name Whitt comes to mind

I 'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Mr Haydn does a mean C&B routine too.

Having Whit Haydn would be a thing of absolute awesomeness.

I think Phil Cass should be considered as well.

I use the shell game in my busking show weekly.  I'm no pro, but I've got my time in with the effect.

I'll bring my shells if anyone wants to sit around the lobby and talk shop!

I think Gazzo may have also done the shells on the street at one time.
