The Shell Game is a classic magic trick where the performer uses three shells and a small pea. The pea is placed under one shell, and the shells are then shuffled around. The spectator is challenged to guess under which shell the pea lies. This is a close-up magic trick that involves sleight of hand and misdirection. The version from TCC Magic is noted for its high-quality props and ease of performance.
