3 cups, one coin, shuffle them about, guess where the coin is... what is that game called?
so far I have 'that shuffle the coin about under the egg cups game'

'balletje balletje' in dutch. you can play it on the streets alot. it's a total ripoff game. no clue about the english term tho.

"Cups and Balls" is the name of the routine in magic circles. The gambling variant probably has a similarly unimaginative title.
"Find the Lady" is the version with cards.

it's often played with different materials. The old magic trick is just called the 'cup and balls' trick.
On the street it's often played with walnut shells and peas, and so is called the 'shell and pea'
A similar trick with cards is called 'find the lady' when 3 cards are shuffled around and punters have to guess which card is the queen.

It's called "all people around who play and win so easy are with me and their only job is to convince you to bid"

No one in the States uses the cup and ball; unless you are a clown at a birhtday party.
