Ease of use: Well, once you're comfy with the moves, its mainly misdirection...1-2 difficultly, people management/misdirection 2-3
Review:
Ok then, roll up, roll up...keep your eye on the pea ladies and gentlemen...
Well, its the humble, age old 3 shell game - if you've never seen it, think 3 card monte but with (originally) walnut shells and a pea or similar...
These are high quality, very easy to grip - perhaps even more so due to the design...a bumpy turtle back...you get the standard three shells, plus a special bonus one for a switch out at the end if you so wish.
Oh, and a little bag of red peas
...i have substituted these with a little something else, a very small gem...as i tell the fable of when ancient turtles die, their heart turns to stone and can be found hidden along the shorelines...
Anyway - they handle marvellously, loading and taking is a synch to be honest, and the allure of these turtle shells add a little drop of eye candy for the punters too...
On the site, there's also some rather nice scarab beetles, which in turn might be nice to use and for the final reveal you could switch in a pellet of rolled up paper with a tiny egyptian glyph on it or something...fiver more though..
You also get a red felt drawstring bag, and very basic instructions too...I'm rather enamoured of these i must admit...
Overall: 9/10
