China's Song by Brick Tilley
I have this posted in another thread, but just in case it gets missed ...

Apparently, this is China's version of the Three Shell Game or the Three Card Monte Game.
It is played with three sticks held between the fingers of one hand.
One stick has a little string tied to it.
The task for the spectator is to identify the stick with the string.
It goes without saying the performer has everything entirely under his control at all times.

Apparently this game was brought by Ching Ling Foo to America in 1899.

Anyone seen, heard of, or have this?

WulfieSmith,

Here is a link to a previous discussion of the item you mentioned - https://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/view......orum=190

It's more a discussion of the Tilley PDF than the actual game.

Drmagic,
thanks for your reply ...

I described the effect, and gave a link to the pdf in order to see if someone had information on the actual game.

Result!
I am told it could be "Lucky Strings" which has been marketed by Tenyo.

Thanks for continuing the research. "Lucky Strings" looks interesting.
Best,
Don

I have been told from someone who bought this that it is nothing like "Lucky Strings".

That being said, I still cannot find a review.
It is not expensive at $10 ... but for only 4 pages of information?

I have to ask myself, is that a good con in itself?

Bought this ...
this is an excellent addition to Betcha's and Scams.

Also bought this. $10 well spent. Also includes 6 very short video demonstrations and tutorials. I'll be using this
