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.
