The Three Shell Game is a classic street con that has existed across various cultures and continuously evolved throughout history.

There is evidence suggesting that the game dates back to ancient Rome. It was a common performance in medieval Europe by street entertainers and charlatans. In 19th century America, it was also a popular street con game

The Shell Game is more commonly done today for entertainment purposes and has developed into various versions, including those using shells, walnut shells, and the lesser-seen “Turtle/Tortoise Shells”.

Although some “Turtle/Tortoise Shells” versions of The Three Shell Game have been on the market, Mai Bro’s The “Shell” Game introduces some significant improvements beyond its mere appearance.

This version of the “Shell” Game allows for all the classic shell game techniques and routines, with its most notable innovation being a cleverly designed structure that allows for a small ball to be hidden while you show that the shell is empty.
