I've never used a shell game before. The price was very low, so I decided to start with this rather
than a more expensive, "professional" set. Was able to start messing with it right away. It looks
just fine, and works the way that it needs to. Feels a bit small in my hands, but thats my only
complaint. Works very well on my close up pad, which unfortunately, is blue, and the pea kinda
blends in. Did not take very long at all to be able to use this.
