PHIL CASS' THE PEA &
SHELL GAME DVD
Phil
Cass is one of the leading performers in Australia. A recipient of the
"Australian Variety Artist's 'Mo' Award" as "The Best Speciality Act In
Australia" for seven consecutive years he has also won awards for his
close-up and comedy magic shows.
This DVD features Phil performing and
explaining his Pea & Shell Game routine that is widely considered as one of
the best Shell Game routines ever created.
Commonly referred to as the Shell Game it
is a magical routine based on the classic con game using three walnut shells
and one small pea. The mark tries to guess which shell the pea is under, and
they always lose. Phil has made this the mainstay of his close-up work for
many years and those willing to study his presentation, technique and timing
will have a complete 20-minute act added to their repertoire. Just wait
until you see the killer climax.
In addition to the techniques of the
routine Phil discusses at length the psychology of how to make the routine
interesting, challenging, confrontational and of course entertaining.
"The most commercial and magical Pea &
Shell Game I've ever seen… and I've seen 'em all!"
…Roger Klause
"No question, it is one of the best
'presentations' I have seen on the scam and how he NAILS the spectator is a
lesson in psychology one could learn much from."
…Pete Biro
"Phil's wonderfully edgy showmanship is
very fun to watch. Because of the psychological push and shove between the
performer and his mark, it plays for a bigger room than most routines can.
It is by far one of the most different and original presentations I have
seen."
…Whit Haydn, School for Scoundrels
