A carnival shill is someone who works for the carnival and gets
people to play the games by convincing the carnival goers that they
are easy to win. There are many ways carnival shills are used. One
way is the games are rigged so the shill wins in front of a crowd,
thereby proving that people can win the games. Another is the shill
walks around the carnival with a prize (generally something
noticable like a large stuffed animal) and when people ask where
the shill got the prize, the shill responds they won it at
such-and-such a game. These methods are especially effective if the
shill is a young child or a pretty girl.
