This is considered a sacred game to almost all Native American nations. Played only in the winter and at night, when Myths and Legends were also told. The Natives played it against sides to see who was going to be more victorious or prosperous in the coming year. It is said if this game is played while the sunshine, that one would be struck blind.
These shells are one of the best shell sets made especially for The Shell Game. These shells are made from a hybrid plastic, cleaned and painted personally by Black Fox. Each shell is sprayed with at least 8 coats of a matte finish, Top + Bottom, The Beetles have about 16 coats sprayed. Each shell is tested for smoothness in operation. These shells are virtually indestructible.

The Three Shell Game has been one of my favorite tricks for many years. I purchased a set of scarab shells from Black Fox at a magic club meeting several years ago. They're great shells! The peas they come with are good. I typically use the School for Scoundrels "Perfect Pea," which works perfectly with these shells. The "plug shell" is a nice thing to have as well. I would recommend this set to anyone interested in the three shell game.

Steve asks: What is the purpose of the 4th shell? Is it to make the pea obvious under that shell like under the glass and it is not there? Thanks.
