Shell game

(重定向自Thimblerig)
An illegal shell game performed with bottle caps on Fulton Street in New York City
An illegal shell game in Drottninggatan, a street in Stockholm.

The shell game (also known as Thimblerig, Three shells and a pea, the old army game) is portrayed as a gambling game, but in reality, when a wager for money is made, it is almost always a confidence trick used to perpetrate fraud. In confidence trick slang, this swindle is referred to as a short-con because it is quick and easy to pull off.
