THREE SHELLS BY TCC

TCC Presents - The 3 Shells

The 3 Shell Game, much like the renowned Cups and Balls, carries a rich history that dates back to the 1670s. This age-old gambling swindle, similar to the infamous 3 Card Monte, has captivated magicians for centuries, transitioning from the streets to the grand stages of magic for both entertainment and educational purposes.

Originally performed with genuine walnut shells, the 3 Shell Game has evolved with specially manufactured shells of various shapes, styles, and materials designed exclusively for magicians.

We believe that a superior set of Shells should possess specific qualities:

1. Suitable weight: The shells should strike a balance between being light enough for agile manipulation and heavy enough to securely cover the pea.
2. Facilitates pea stealing: The design should aid in seamlessly concealing and revealing the pea.
3. Deceptive appearance: The three shells should appear identical, enhancing the overall illusion.

The above qualities do exist in sets available on the market today. However, you would have needed to shell out (pun intended) large amounts of money for a set of quality shells.

• Made of solid brass
• Beautiful antique finish for that classic retro look.
• Hefty and has a nice weight for better handling.

• Through countless research and experimentation, the peas you get are the perfect size and density.
• Affordable, yet, of exquisite quality.
• Easy to carry. It comes with a flannel carrying bag that fits the shells, peas, and even a shot glass if your routine requires it.
