#THESHELLGAME: I love watching this classic street short-con, seen guys take ten minutes to make £300 from unsuspecting marks. Cups-and-balls-with-shills-and-cheating, I admire what you can do with a rug, a box and three matchboxes, all completely innocent, officer. TOP TIP: if you ever see a guy holding the cash, it’s because it helps to hide the sleight-of-hand - a magician mate explained this to me. #london #shortcon #streetgambling #bricklane

#BLACKMANSSHOES: sad to report that the shop is no longer operating - they refused to sell online for decades but have had to capitulate and finally switched from store to website. Cheshire Street has been scrubbed up nicely, been a long time since MME Motorcycles operated out of a poky garage in Grimsby Street, or a Ukulele Shop could find it more affordable than Hanbury Street… #london #bricklane
