Visualize a funnel standing on a tray. The top part filled with marbles. The part where the neck narrows has a lot of sticks protruding. The idea is to remove a stick without letting a marble fall through onto the tray. Does that help?

Actually Wow, it was more like a long tube, about four inches in diameter, fourteen of fifteen inches high.
There was a band around the middle with hundreds of little holes where you would stick in "pick-up" sticks at different angles.
Once all the sticks were in, you'd put a load of marbels through the hole at the top and they'd be held back by the pick-up sticks.
Each person would take a turn removing a stick. As more sticks were removed, marbles would start to fall through the ever-growing cracks.
The person with the least amount of marbles at the end of the game would win.
The BIG loser was the one that removed that one pick-up stick that held most of the marbles up high, and they'd all come crashing down, creating an uproar.
