The audience member would dig frantically in their purse or pocket to find a paper clip and win that $50.00.

Just be sure to assign a \u201ccrazy\u201d uncle to play the part of \u201cMonty\u201d for extra entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>One rule you might need to enforce is- the item asked for must be on them or in a purse or bag with them. They may not run off to their tent or car to get the item.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of using real money as prizes buy a bag of small 100 Grand candy bars.
