Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner. Is an expression or declaration of victory, especially in a game of chance.
If displayed on the Thanksgiving holiday you might use "Winner, Winner, Turkey Dinner"
These new Chicken Dinner Shells were designed to bring entertainment to the player and spectators to believe they have a chance at winning
The Game of Chance:
I believe the player has to believe they have a chance at winning or there is no interest to play.
Some magicians think the player should never win when displaying the shell game. They need to believe they have a chance!
The street workers of the game know to get someone to play the game the mark must see that someone can win before they will take a chance to play. This is where the real con comes into play.
Unknown to the mark the other players that have been seen to be winning are all part of a crew to make the mark believe they have a chance at winning. This is the con! Without this, there is no Con!
The 3 Shell Game displayed by the magician is a different display of the game that is played on the street to steal the player's money. With the magician, the game is only displayed for entertainment.
The magician does not have a crew of shills to bring the confidence that the player has a chance at winning.
But there are many other ways that the magician can achieve the con game without the use of any shill's and still bring the thrill of playing the shell game.
If the magician is able to show the equipment being used is fair, this will help.
With the proper type of shells and ball, the magician can display the game fairly to set up the con and can play unfairly at any time for the win.
This can be done when the shells are used with a cork ball. This makes the game appear to be a fair game.
With all of the equipment being used to be fair, this can set up the player to believe they have a chance at winning.
The only unfair thing is the shell operator and he has full control of when to play fair or unfair. As the cork ball will stay inside the shell when the shells are moved with the ball. But you have full control of when to steal and load a ball to any shell.
The great thing is after the ball is stolen and loaded into another shell all the shells can be moved fairly without the ball coming out of the shell. Also, everything can be fully examined at any time without switching anything out.
A shell game played without any clues, rules or anything to hide! - Your patter can become very creative with these shells!
The shells were designed to work with a cork ball with a bottom rim taper around the complete bottom of the shell to bring a smooth ball steal or load from the shell with the proper handling.
The use of a cork ball was how the 3 shell game was original displayed
The shells can also be used with a softball, like most other shells on the market, but will lose the fair shell and ball features.

The question that comes up very often, is what shell set do I recommend for the beginner to start with learning to do the shell game?
The answer to this question can vary from others. Some will say to buy a cheap shell set to start with, then upgrade to a good set.
This has never made any sense to me. This is putting a limit on what you can do with a shell set right from the start and slowing down your advancement to doing it well or losing the interest of taking yourself to a good level.
The 3 shell game is not hard to do if you have the right items to work with. This is the case with doing anything well.
There are many factors with finding a shell set that can work well for you.
Listed below are some important things that I feel can make a good working shell set to bring good growth to your shell game working skills.

1-3/4" Shell Length is the size that I have found that handles well for most.
This shell size can fit most hands well and fits well under a standard shot glass without having much movement of the shell when stealing the pea. This shell size can work well for the V grip between the fingers. It also is a good viewable size shell.
Height of the shell is 7/8". This is one of the most important dimensions that is overlooked. You want a shell with good height where the fingers can grip the shell well. Also want the outside shell wall to have a flat surface where the fingers can grip the shell well.
Many shells on the market have a low inward taper on the shell wall, where the fingers will slip upward with the taper and off the shell. Having a shell with good height and very little inward wall taper where the fingers grip the shell will also bring good features for the shell interior. Like having equal headspace inside the shell for the ball to roll freely in any area inside the shell. You will never have any movement of the shell when releasing your grip on the shell.
These shells that have good height and without the inward wall taper brings the feature that the shells can also work with a cork ball, When you can perform the shell game with a cork ball you will be a "Pro Shell Operator". This is how the shell game was originally done.
The way the interior of these shells are designed the cork ball will stay inside the shell when the shells are moved on the surface with the ball.
This makes it a fair game and everything can be fully examined without switching anything out.
The only thing that is unfair is the shell operator, not the equipment being used.
You have full control of the game on when to play fair to set up the con and when to play unfairly for the win.
The ball can be stolen from the shell any time you choose too. The cool thing is once the ball is stolen and loaded into a different shell all the shells can be moved fairly again without the ball coming out of the new loaded shell.
The hardest part to learn with working with a cork ball is training your memory muscles to clip the cork ball with very light finger pressure. The set comes with a 5/16" cork ball to start with learning to clip the cork ball and two larger 3/8" cork balls to advance too. Set also comes with a three pea pod pea holder with three soft 3/8" peas. Shells and accessory bags.

Most take the shells in the V-grip from the back of the shells.
This is not the best fit between the fingers to grip the shell.
I recommend taking these shells between the fingers from the front of the shell where the front of the walnut shell has a natural V-shape to fit the fingers the best when gripping the shell between the fingers, as shown above.
The reason this is not done with other shells is the player would see the hole at the back of the shell that most shells have. Shells that have a hole at the back of the shell are a visual clue on how the ball can escape the shell and this hole is not needed.
Many try to justify this hole by saying it is from where the walnut was broken off of the tree stem.
No matter how you try to justify it, it is still a visual escape hole for the pea and is not needed.
The "Pro Starter Shells" has no visual gimmick clues. The shells have a totally flat surface around the entire shell.
What they do have is a tapered bottom wall rim around the entire shell where nothing stands out as an escape door.
They look like fair shells.
Hope this is of some help,
Al

The game is played with two different colored balls and can end with a third colored ball.
The Blue ball represents the Democratic party, the red ball represents the Republican party and the white ball represents the Independent party.
If the player picks the white house that has the right color party of their choice they win.
If not they lose.
Suggestions: To start the game a Democratic blue ball and a red Republican ball is placed under two shells and one shell is empty. If the player says they favor the Independent party a white ball is then used with a red or blue ball with one empty shell. Only two colored balls are in play at a time.
After the two colored balls are under the shells and the player has picked the color party of their choice all the shells are shuffled around on the surface. The bottom ridge shell brings a big advantage when shuffling the shells around on the surface with a ball. As the ball will stay inside the shell when shuffling the shells as a fair shell. The shells can be lifted during the shuffling of the shells to make sure they follow the shell of their choice. The beauty of this feature is after you have just lifted the shell with the ball of the choice the ball can be stolen after placing the shell back down over the ball.
Then another shell is lifted to show it is empty or of a different color and this shell is loaded with their ball of choice.
Now the cool thing is all the shells can be moved fairly with their ball in a different shell.
You have full control of when to play fair to sell the con and when to play unfair for the win!
Optional third colored ball can come into play for the final play with all three political parties, blue Democratic party, red Republican party and the white Independent party for the ending surprise.
This set comes with the Ridge type bottom. The Classic type bottom is also available.
The whole set can be fully examined at any time without switching anything out. The bottom ridge shells can bring confidence to play the game where they actually can believe they have a fair chance at winning.
This is because they are fair shells. The bottom ridge is not a gimmick, it is just the opposite. The ridge never holds or hides the ball in the shell. The ridged bottom works like a ramp to send the softball on an open path where the ball can roll freely inside the shell.
You are never forced to take the ball. The ball stays inside the shell when the shell is moved on the surface and you have the control to take the ball when you want too. You can even fool the ones that are in the know on how the shell game is normally done with all other type shells. This makes them an unpredictable shell that always appears to be done fairly.
The only unfair thing is the operator, that has a choice of when to play fair or not to play fair, at any time. Also, now the softball can be justified as only being used so they can't hear which shell has the ball. The shell has entire flat surface.
The shuffling of the shells can be extended without having to take the pea in the hand or have to keep reloading and stealing it on every movement of the shell.
This can bring the confidence to follow the correct shell that has the pea by lifting shells during the shuffle, to show the pea or the shells that don't have the pea. This not only gets them to follow the shell you want them to follow but cuts the steal and loading of the pea down to one time without having to hide the pea in the hand. This cuts down any chances of them seeing it, as you can pick the right time to execute everything. The cool thing is once you steal and load another shell with a ball all the shells can be shuffled around now fairly without the ball coming out.
The shells with No Clues, No Rulers or Anything to hide.
Think about what makes the lifting of a shell to become noticeable when the ball is forced to exits or enters the classic type shell.
What happens is one area of the shell lifts up higher than the other area of the shell when the ball puts pressure on the shell to lift for the ball to exit or enter the shell. The BRS handling can also works well for the classic shells where the shell stays level.
To make this lift unnoticeable you don't let the pea lift the shell. You lift the shell a tiny bit in a level way when you steal or loading the ball from any type shell.
This is done by using an equal balance three point grip on the shell to get a slight level lift on the shell between the fingers and when moving the shell and ending with a gradual release of the shell to the surface before the shell comes to a stop. Also, with our soft type balls, you will have undetected pea steals and pea shell loads.
Handling instructions of the Bottom Ridge Shells come with PDF file on the handling of shells & pea.
Also, link and password to the handling videos after you purchase a set.

This set of shells has the classic type bottom and can be used with the standard type handling with a soft ball.
The shell interior is designed to be able to also work with a cork ball.
If the shells are used with a cork ball it brings all the same added features that come with the bottom ridge shell without the ridge bottom You just use the BRS handling.
The cork balls can be painted red, white and blue then painted with a matt clear finish to grip the surface.

The great thing is now loading a different shell you can move all the shells around fairly without the ball coming out and everything can be fully examined at anytime without switching anything out.

The bottom shell rim wall has a nice taper around the entire shell to bring a smooth exit for a soft pea or cork ball steal.

Most other shells on the market have a inverted V notch at the back of the shell for the pea to exit the shell . Many think this visual exit hole can be justified as the hole is from where the nut was broke off the stem of the tree. No matter how you try to justified it, it is still a visual exit hole for the ball to escape the shell and man made walnut shells were not picked off a tree. By having a flat surface that has a inside taper around the entire shell the visual notch is not needed. It's like having a notch around the entire shell, but does not stand out as a exit hole. Bringing a smooth ball steal on any location of the shell.

The shape and texture of the shell is a sure griping shell that will never slip out of your fingers.

This shell has some unique design features. The sure rim grip is elevated 5/16" from the surface to have a solid grip on a shell for good shell control.
The bottom of the shell has an inner & outer bottom rim tapper, for smooth ball steals & loads.
The inside of the shell has equal headspace in all areas of the shell, so the ball will never touches the top wall of the shell. This means the ball can be anywhere in the shell when releasing the shell and there will never be any movement of the shell.

The use of the cork ball was how the shell game was originally done without the use of any shills in play. Which is how the magician must play, without any shills in play.
When using a cork ball with these type shells the game is now a unpredictable game for even the one that knows how the shell game is done. Because the cork ball will stay inside the shell when the shells are moved around on the surface that makes it a fair game. The only thing that is unfair is the shell operator. The shell operator has full control on when to play fair to setup the con and when to play unfair to win. Also, everything can be fully examined at anytime without switching anything out.
The use of a cork ball with the shells does require a little different type handling than working with with a soft ball.
The handling is the same as the Bottom Ridge shell handling, that brings all the Bottom Ridge shell features without the bottom ridge. Cork ball handling instructions are included with purchase.

The third ball is in the center of the holder and the center ball can be taken out by blowing on one open end of the shell ball holder. The set also comes with one 3/8" cork ball to try out with the shells. that will require a little different type handling than working with with a soft ball.
Shell and ball handling instructions are included with purchase.

The plastic dome case cap can work a perfect fit shell trap for your shell routine finish.

Limited Edition - Bronze Monkey Shell Bell Set

The entire bottom rim of the shell has a nice taper that makes them look like the inside of a little bell and helps to bring a smooth ball steal. The set comes with softballs and hard cork balls.
If the shells are used with the softballs the mechanics of how the shells work are the same as today's modern type shells.
The shells were designed to be able to take your game even further than the modern day shell game. Can be presented the original way the shell game was played. With the use of a harder type ball, like a cork ball, all the items being used becomes fair play to set up the con.
The only unfair thing in use is the shell operator. The cork ball will stay inside the shell when the shell is moved around on the surface. But you can steal the cork ball anytime you choose too. You are never forced to take the ball at any time when you move the shell. This is a big advantage. This makes it an unpredictable shell game. Because you have full control of when to play fair or unfair. Everything can be fully examined at any time, why not, if there is nothing to hide.
Some have tried to convince the spectator by switching out the softball for a hard plastic ball to appear to be the same to let them examine everything. But in most cases, this can make it worse. Even if the two match fairly well, there is now a sound problem from the hard plastic ball hitting the shell wall. You don't have this problem with a cork ball. The cork ball is lighter and softer and will not bring the sound problem to know what shell has the ball.
Doing the shell game with a cork ball is all done by sleight-of-hand, so it is not as easy as with the use of a softball. It requires some training of your memory muscles to finger clip a harder ball with light finger pressure to hold the ball and still move your hand in a relaxed way. The ones that I think learn easier to finger clip a cork ball correctly, are magicians that have performed sleight-of-hand with coins. The memory muscles already have some training with finger clipping a hard item with a relaxed hand. I feel it is well worth the practice.

Can work well for your ending surprise with a softball or a cork ball.

Everything fits very well inside, with a little extra room to carry a small polishing cloth.
To keep your shells always looking their best. Also, has a zipper.
This shell set is a Limited Edition because I only have a small number of these handmade special cases!

These are well shaped beautiful,walnut shells. Easy to grip and are able to hold six half dollar coins.
It will bring an amazing effect when the spectators see six large half dollar coins falling out of a walnut shell. The player will miss out on the three buck payoff when they pick the wrong shell for their game-ending surprise! Money coming out of a walnut shell works well as the shell game is known as a gambling game trying to win money. The coins falling out of a walnut shell is very visual and with sound.
The six half dollar coins can be taken from your pocket when the timing is right for you.
The tube case and the clear dome lid can also be used as two shell traps. This works very well where the tube case and lid are items that are more impromptu being used that are not special items.
This case and lid can work well for the ones that like doing something simpler to the Ouellet's - Supershell routine.
Peas; The set comes with four larger 7/16" KDS green peas and pea holders. These larger type peas are easy to handle. They are softer than other peas on the market and will take shape between the fingers to bring an easy finger clip or back finger clip without popping out from the fingers. Using a larger type pea helps to make the game more visible for the viewing of your shell routine. The shells can also work well with a cork ball if you like.
The six coins are laying flat on the last three fingers, where the three fingers are curled inward to clip them in the hand.
(As in image #1)
The index finger and thumb pick up the shell. (As in image #2)
The shell is lifted a little up off the surface and moved in a forward motion. (As in image #3)
The coins are released from the fingers as soon as the shell is lifted with the forward motion and it will appear that the coins came out of the shell.
Afterward, the coins can be put inside the shell to confirm that the coins do fit inside the shell.
(See images #4)
Coins are not included with shell set.

It is one of the most advanced design shells you will find made today.
This shell design has an outer plastic resin core and an inner plastic resin core of two different colors. Having the inner white core brings a very good contrast with the green ball. The inner white core also has what we call a Hidden Bottom Ridge design on the shell. The reason we call it a hidden ridge is because it is not noticeable.
The bottom ridge is not a gimmick, it is just the opposite. This feature makes them fair shells when using them with a softball, where the ball will stay inside the shell when the shell is moved on the surface.
You have full control of when you want to steal the ball. This makes them an unpredictable shell, as you are never forced to take the ball, like all other type shells. This will even fool the ones that are in the know of how the shell game is normally done. There are no gimmicks and everything can be fully examined at any time without switching anything out. The only thing that is unfair is the shell operator and you have full control on when you want to play fair or unfair.

For a fun ending surprise, a 3" super soft sponge ball comes with the set that can be loaded into a shell and will stay inside the shell when the shell is held up off the surface to appear to be an empty shell.
You can even move the shell on the surface without the sponge ball coming out of the shell.

When the player picks up the shell they picked the ball is gone. The shell that was tapped with the Tiki stick is lifted and it now has a 3" green sponge ball.
This type set can work well for anyone that wants to have something special for entertaining at a luau party or any larger crowds for good viewing. A big shell set where everyone can see the fun.

The bronze brings some good weight to the shell. Each shell weighs about one ounce. These heavier type shells handle very well. Easy to pick up without slipping out of your fingers. This walnut shell is shaped to bring a sure grip.
Shell Set Case: The case can serve many purposes. The whole working shell set fits in a compact case, that only measures
2-3/4" H x 1-3/4" D. The case is made up of one semi-clear vinyl cap with a plastic inner tube core and another regular vinyl cap that is press onto the cap with the inner tube core. This cushion case will bring maximum protection for your shell set.
The two caps fit so well over the shells that both the caps can also work as two shell traps. There is no movement of the shell inside the trap at all when stealing the pea, with the use of these caps as shell traps.
Peas; The set comes with four larger 7/16" KDPS green peas with bronze pea holders. These larger type peas are easy to handle. They are softer than other peas on the market and will take shape between the fingers to bring an easier finger clip or back finger clip without popping out from the fingers. Using a larger type pea helps to make it more visible for the viewing of your shell routine.

The whole set can be fully examined at any time without switching anything out. The bottom ridge shells can bring confidence to play the game where they actually can believe they have a fair chance at winning.
This is because they are fair shells. The bottom ridge is not a gimmick, it is just the opposite. The ridge never holds or hides the ball in the shell. The ridged bottom works like a ramp to send the softball on an open path where the ball can roll freely inside the shell.
You are never forced to take the ball. The ball stays inside the shell when the shell is moved on the surface and you have the control to take the ball when you want too. You can even fool the ones that are in the know on how the shell game is normally done with all other type shells. This makes them an unpredictable shell that always appears to be done fairly.
The only unfair thing is the operator, that has a choice of when to play fair or not to play fair, at any time. Also, now the softball can be justified as only being used so they can't hear which shell has the ball. The shell has entire flat surface.
The shells with No Clues, No Rulers or Anything to hide.
Think about what makes the lifting of a shell to become noticeable when the ball is forced to exits or enters the classic type shell.
What happens is one area of the shell lifts up higher than the other area of the shell when the ball puts pressure on the shell to lift for the ball to exit or enter the shell. The BRS handling can also work well for the classic shells where the shell stays level.
To make this lift unnoticeable you don't let the pea lift the shell. You lift the shell a tiny bit in a level way when you steal or load the ball from any type shell.
This is done by using an equal balance three point grip on the shell to get a slight level lift on the shell between the fingers and ending with a gradual release of the shell to the surface. Also, with our soft type balls, you will have undetected pea steals and pea shell loads.

Another shell shape
Most common walnut shells are shaped with a low inward taper from the bottom to the top of the shell. This type shell brings poor handling features with the outside and inside of the shell. The low inward taper on the outside shape of the shell makes the shell hard to get a good grip, as the fingers will slip upward with the inward taper shape of the shell.
This shape will also affect the inside of the shell where the taper is in reverse with an outward taper from the center of the shell to the outer shell wall. What happens is the ball will touch the top of the shell in most cases and put pressure on the shell to start lifting before the ball gets to the shell wall where the ball comes out of the shell. This is not just my opinions, this is common mechanical engineering facts on how it works. A good example of this is if the ball is not in the center of the shell when releasing your hand from the shell, you will see the shell move because it is touching the top of the shell.
All of these problems can even be worse if it is a heavy metal shell with this type shape.
This shell shape
The shape and weight of this shell have none of the above problems. If you look at the above pictures you will see there is no low inward shape on the shell body. The shell comes straight up for your fingers to grip this heavy shell well.
You will also see on the inside of the shell that there is only a taper where it is needed.
The taper is only on the shell rim wall, where the ball comes out of the shell.
You will also see that the shell has entire flat surface without any notch at the back of the shell.
We feel this notch at the back of the shell is just a visual clue on how the ball escapes the shell.
Many think they can justify it as a natural hole from where the walnut was broke off from the stem of the tree.
No matter how you try to justify it, it is still a visual hole where the ball can be viewed as an escape hole for the pea to come out of the shell.
If you look at the above picture without any notch at the back of the shell. The thing is there is actually a tapered notch around the entire rim of the shell that does not stand out as a hole and works even better. As it is like having a notch around the whole shell bottom that blends in as being the shape of the shell with the entire flat surface without any hole.
This type shell can even bring all the features that the bottom ridge shells have without the ridge. Where the ball stays inside the shell till you want to take it. This feature applies if the shells are used with a cork ball. This is how the shell game was originally done, where it didn't require to have shill's in play to sell the con. As the shells and cork ball being used were fair. The only unfair thing is the shell operator with the use of sleight-of-hand skills. The same handling that is used with the BRS is used when using a cork ball with these non-ridge shells.
Using a cork ball takes some practice in training your memory muscles. You want to be able to clip the cork ball with light finger pressure and still hold the ball with the movement of the hand.

The two caps fit so well over the shells that both the caps can also work as two shell traps.
There is no movement of the shell inside the trap at all when stealing the pea, with the use of these caps as shell traps.
Soft Peas: You will find these peas not only grip the surface well, they grip to the fingers well and the softness of them will take shape between the fingers when clipping them. With the softness of the pea and the weight of the shell, the pea will come in or out of the shell very smoothly.

The bronze shell weights 17 grams. Heavy shells that you will never lose a grip on. Looks like a real shell, but works better!
Everything you need in a compact 3"H x 1-5/8" O.S.D. x 1-1/2" I.S.D. in a well-protected container.
The tube case and the lid cap can also be used as working props. This works very well where the tube case and lid are items that they have already seen and will appear as impromptu items being used.
Here is an example of how a surprise finish could be done.
Beginning Setup: An extra pea is finger clipped in your hand that can't be seen and the top cap is taken off the tube case.
All the items are poured out onto the surface from the case. At the same time, the cap in your other hand puts the cap down out of the play area. After the cap has been taken off the case the finger clipped pea is loaded inside the cap and held against the cap wall while placing it down on the surface. This beginning setup is now ready for your ending surprise finish.
Executing the surprise: With the standard set, all three shells are shown to be empty and the center shell is placed over the pea. You put the tube case over the shell with the pea and move it in front of the player to place their finger on top.
The other two shells are picked up and shown to be empty, at the same time your hands will be seem to be empty.
Both shells are placed down on the surface and now you try to talk them out of picking the shell that is inside the case that they have their finger on. At this point, it doesn't matter what shell they pick, as none of the shells have the pea. If they pick the shell that is inside the tube case that they have their finger on, you have them lift everything to find that the pea is not there. You give them another chance to pick one of the other two shells and they are wrong again.
You then pick-up the last shell to show the pea is not there either and then pick-up the cap to show the pea is always where you lease expect it to be.
Executing the surprise with the (optional) - Wrong Pea Solid Kicker: The handling is mostly the same.
The only difference, when turning all the shells back over to start a new series of play the center shell is switched out for the solid kicker. This is shown on a video and the switch is done right in front of them. All the other handling is the same as the above.
But now when they lift up their shell they find a "P" but it is the wrong type pea, as it is a solid shell with a green P letter on it. The rest goes the same where the pea is under the cap to end.

Here is an example of an ending surprise. There are many other ways.
There are six pictures above in the order of how this is done.
The first and last picture are double pictures showing done with a soft pea or a cork ball.
Pic.1: The barrel is placed over the ball.
Pic.2: Thimble is placed over the barrel.
Pic.3: Thimble Trap is placed over the thimble.
Pic.4: All is moved over to the player to place their finger on top of the trap to hold down.
The other two thimbles are picked up to show that they are empty and at the same time your hands can be seen to be only holding the thimbles. Both the thimbles are placed back down on the surface.
Pic.5: The player lifts off the trap, then the thimble and when the player turns the barrel over they find an empty barrel.
Pic.6: The other thimbles are lifted to see that the pea is now in another thimble.
"This is a little demonstration on how the three shell game will always bring you an empty barrel and empty pockets."

(As in image #2) The shell is lifted a little up off the surface and moved in a forward motion. (As in image #3) The coins are released from the fingers as soon as the shell is lifted with the forward motion where it will appear that the coins came out of the shell.

The shells can work with a larger 7/16" soft pea or a 3/8" cork ball. Working with a soft pea the shells work with the classic type shell handling or our recommended handling.
When the shells are used with a cork ball you now have full control of the ball where the ball only comes out of the shell when you want it too and everything can be fully examined at any time without switching anything out. The shells is a larger type shell that are very easy to grip and control.

The interior design will shock you on how smooth the ball can be stolen from the cup without any use of gimmicks.
The cups can also work well with a hard 3/8 natural cork ball and still deliver a smooth ball steal from the cup.
When the cups are used with a cork ball, it brings many added features that can't be done with the normal softball shells or cups.
When the cups are used with a cork ball, the ball rolls freely inside the cup. You are never forced to have to take the ball.
Only when you choose too. This makes it a fair game to sell the con and get the mark to follow the cup that you want them to follow. At any time everything can even be examined if need be without switching anything out. There are no clues, no rules or anything to hide. This is how the shell game was original done.
It appears that there is nothing unfair with the equipment being used and there isn't. The only unfair thing is you the operator.
You have full control. At any time you choose you can make it an unfair game to always win when the cups are used with a cork ball. Will even fool the ones that are in the know of how the shell game is normally done. This is because the player can't predict when you make a steal or load another cup. The beauty is once you steal the cork ball and load the ball into another cup, you can now move the newly loaded cup around fairly without the ball coming out. This is a big advantage.

The coins can be used for the player bets or used for a four coin production from the cup for a surprise finish.

The picture to the left is a baby Hedgehog that is rolled up into a ball. The object of the game is for the spectator to keep track on which shell has the baby Hedgehog that is the ball.


Then the ball is loaded into another shell after you just showed it to be an empty shell. The great thing is now after loading a different shell all the shells can be moved fairly without the ball coming out, unlike other shells.
This makes them an unpredictable shell.

It gives the shell operator full control of the ball inside the shell. The shell operator is never forced to take the ball. This makes it an unpredictable shell. You can even fool the ones that are in the know of how the standard shell game is done. As no one can predict when you steal or load the ball from the shell. The Hidden Bottom Ridge feature gives the ball a free rolling path inside the shell. But you can steal the ball anytime you choose too.
This is not a gimmick. It is just the opposite, it makes it a fair shell to sell the con of the game. The hidden ridge never holds or hides the ball in the shell. The softball is looked on as being used for a different reason. Only for not bringing any sound inside the shell. Everything can even be fully examined without switching anything out.
The only type shell with no clues, no rules and nothing to hide.

The softballs are one of best balls you will find to work the shell game. The softness of this type ball brings smoother ball steals and will form to the fingers for easy ball control with your fingers.
The shells have an entirely flat surface that has no visual clues. Another cool feature with these type shells, after you steal the ball from one shell and then load the ball into another shell the newly loaded shell can be moved around fairly on the surface without the ball coming out.
