Yes, most all the moves you do with the standard shells can be done with the BRS.
The only move that is different, is the kick steal. Because it will do just the opposite, which can be very helpful in displaying how the pea will stay in the shell, when the shell is kicked over to them to examine the pea and shell together, and without switching the pea. As for the three shells in the hand, steal and reload, they work very well with this move. I think better. Because you can now pick the timing when you want it to happen and you have more control in displaying it. As for the shot glass surprise, this can also be done and again I think better. Because you don't need to move the shot glass once the glass is place over the shell. There are multiple ways to do the shot glass surprise with the BRS Most of the moves are done a little differently, not hard and give a better display. If you like displaying the three shells in the one hand, the new Champagne cap shells work great for this display and all other moves. The reason they work so well for all shells in the hand is the round diameter shape and the weight of the shell. The top half ball of the shell is solid that gives the shell some nice weight in controlling them. The best part is they are only $39, but the walnut shells will also perform it well. The real thing is there are many things that the standard shells cannot do that the Bottom Ridge shells can do and come without all the clues and rules. If you would like more detail, give me a private message and I will reply.

I'm pleased I purchased before the sale, or I'll have bought the shells on sale instead of the frog designed one. I'm not a pro, but for me thoses shells are a nice way to go. |

Kind Design Products has designed another different color of the Three Shell Game.
They are called Color Blind Caps or Cups. The caps are much smaller than the cups. They were designed to perform the standard 3 shell game without all the clues and rules, where everything can be fully examined at any time and the operator is never forced to do any actions till he or she decide too. They both have the bottom ridge bottom. The cap or cup sets are also made to perform a new 3 shell game with three bright colored balls to be matched to the three inside colored shells. The inside coloring is plastic (not paint). Test their memory skills. But their memory skills will not decide the outcome. Only you can decide the outcome. Color Blind Caps or Cups ~ how it's played. The new Color Blind shell game is where the spectator has more hands on involvement for much more added fun. There are three shells that look all the same on the outside with a hole in the top center of the shells and goes down through to the inside of the shell. This is used for the player to drop the colored balls into the shell. The inside of each shell has three different colors, Red, Yellow and Green, like a signal light and three matching balls. The object of the game is to drop each colored ball into the correct matching colored shell to win. Setup: All the inside of the shells are shown and are setup in the order of a signal light, Red, Yellow and Green. The player has the three colored balls. Starting the game: After the inside of all three shells have been shown on what color each shell has on the inside, all the shells are shuffle around. After the shuffle is done, the player drops one colored ball down the top hole of the shell they think color matches their ball. The shuffling of the shells is repeated after each placing of a different colored ball, till all three balls have been placed in all three shells. All the shells are lifted to count how many are right or wrong. The game can repeat as many times as you want. How to count the score: Each matching colored ball that matches the inside color of a shell is a winner. Any ball and shell that does not match, is a losing bet. Example 1: 2 matching balls is plus 2 and 1 not matching is minus 1 = total is plus 1 winning bet. Example 2: 1 matching ball = 1 plus and two not matching = minus 2 = total is minus 1 losing bet. Just like the standard three shell game you can decide the outcome. You can let the player win, to keep them in. But at any time you can change them from winning to losing very quickly, as each round brings three bets instead of one to change the outcome. The suggested handling is the same as the bottom ridge type shells. You can even shuffle the shells around with multiple balls and the balls will remain inside the shell till you elect to take them or just take one. The Color Blind Shell Game can bring a whole new entertaining challenge! I tried to post picture, but it never works for me. What is the trick to it? The file type is jpeg and the size is under their limit. Hope you find this helpful, Al

Ordered mine about a week ago. Looking forward to these shells! Great instructional videos as well.
However, I was wondering if there is a source to learn the shot glass ending with these shells? Maybe it's easy if you've used regular shells? I just got the notion that the handling is way different and couldn't find any video in the links that was sent with the purcahse. So far though, great service by Al!

Thanks Glenn, and thanks for answering my police questions on the shells!
It is nice that there is someone on the magic Café that has some input on how the law looks at the game. Lundonia What set did you order? If it was the shot glass surprise, there is not a video up on the site now. You can email me and I will reply with instructions. If you have a web cam and are set up to make calls on Skype we can do a video call to show you on video real time. We would want to setup appointment time to do this. I have done this before and it works well. I am far behind in posting the new videos, as I hurt my right hand in the shop. Once the hand is better and have some free time, I will be adding a lot of new stuff with more detail. The 3 Disk Monte instructions video will be first, then the shells. Hopefully both will be soon. I want to keep all the instructional videos to be free, so I cam only make them when I have the time to make them. It is the highest thing on my list to get done. In the mean time I will always work one on one to help someone to understand on how to do whatever is needed. Thanks Al

Thanks for the reply Al. I ordered "The Shot Glass Walnut Set Special". I'm quite familiar with the regular moves but never tried the bottom ridge shells. I appreciate your kind offer to show it over Skype but we are in different time zones (+9h) so maybe a PM will do?
Hope your hand will get better soon!

The “Bottom Ridge Shells” are the only shells I use now.
I have many different BR shell sets for different occasions. There is something about Al's shells besides the bottom ridge that are so special. I just had to get the 3 blind mice shells. I know the quality will be there. |

Hadbeen learning the old shell game and was looking for an upgrade to my Varnet. Read about BRS on the website and liked the idea of not having to steal all the time. Bought the Grifters set and got to work with the video access that comes with a purchase. now, even if I use the old shells I use the steals, and pinches learned from the videos. You can do exactly the same 'game' but now you keep the pea under the shell untilyou want to take it out. The bottom ridge keeps the pea in the shell until you make the move and snatch it.
I had a problem with the case and Al just made me a new one. Before I knew it I added a pea pod and M snatcher and now have a pretty amazing routine where nothing is repeated. Al sent a shell cover and now I put a pea in a barrel,cover with a shell cover everything with a clear cover and send the pea back to its pod with no one ever suspecting how its done. Can fool masters of the ole shell game with new slights, magnetic or non magnetic peas PK ring or palmed magnetic snatcher. go ahead, let them move the shell with the pea. it stays in and does not give the game away at all. Let them cover the shell covering the pea in the barrel with a clear cover and hold it down with a finger. the pea is in another shell or back in the pod. I love to put a pea on the spectators hand and cover with a shell. They squeeze the shell and when they open their hand the pea is gone back to a shell on the table. Do not imagine what the bottom ridge shells can do. Just pick a set, buy them and bask in your new found skills. Any problems and Al will fix you up right away. I'm deciding which set to add to my collection next--probably the Rattlesnake thoughI do love my Grifters set. looking forward to mini chop cups as well |

Thank you for such a nice review on the products you received from 3shells.com. The Rattlesnake shells that you are interested in are one of the most detail shells we make and are the only shell that has the hidden bottom ridge. They even have glass snake eyes that I get from a Taxidermy Supply. Today is the last day for the 20% off and free shipping Thanks for the support. Al
