  2. Hallow Eve Customs - The Grapes and the Rotten Apple

    Share Share Post
    This trick is about the bunch (of) of grapes and the 'rotton apple, which are placed on two separate plates. Next the player is blindfolded and is asked to put his hand on the plate he likes best. If he puts his hand on the plate with the rotton apple, it is said that he will be a drunkard for ever after, but if he puts his hand on the one with the bunch of grapes it is said that he will be healthy and happy for ever after; not many (peop) people compete in this trick
