No matter how close the audience may watch they will always lose track of the little ball, and ultimately their money! Although this trick is not self-working the simple 'move' needed to perform this routine is very easy to learn. The walnut shells from the classic three shell game were replaced with beautiful 'ornamental turned' cups which have been made in seasoned 'Box Wood'. On top of each cup there is a stunning 'Venetian Style' Rosette pattern which gives the set it's distinctive style & name. Each cup stands approx 2 "high with a diameter of 1.5" across, you also receive a miniature ball (pea) and a customized red corduroy carrying bag.
