The Three Shell Game is a timeless street con that has evolved across cultures and eras. Originally a trick for deception, it has transformed into a captivating form of entertainment.

Modern versions of the Shell Game utilize various materials, including traditional shells, walnut shells, and the less common “Turtle/Tortoise Shells.” Among these, Mai Bro’s The “Shell” Game stands out with enhancements that go beyond mere visual appeal.

This innovative version retains all the classic techniques and routines of the shell game, featuring a smart design that allows for easy concealment of a small ball while presenting the shell as empty.

Mai Bro has also introduced two types of small “peas” in different materials and colors: yellow silicone and red cotton. These variations offer distinct compression ratios and friction, facilitating impressive color-changing ball effects.

These remarkable features are achieved through clever structural design, eliminating the need for magnets or moving parts. The accompanying video showcases the stunning effects and routines made possible by this design.

Each shell is meticulously crafted from pure brass, weighing around 53g, with an electroplated surface that is hand-aged and polished to achieve an antique appearance. The set includes 5 yellow peas and 3 red peas, perfect for creating mesmerizing transposition and transformation effects.
