These are slick. I had a cheaper set I was using for trade shows and these arrived two days into a trade show I was working. Ten minutes with these and I have shelved the cheap ones. these are made from resine and hand painted. the balance and handling of these is incredible. Get a video or routine from Whit Haydn, Chef Anton or Bob Sheets and get to work on a time tested killer effect. This will bring them in and give your cards a rest as these are easily recognized by everyone as a gambling game. Do not cheat people for money with them as this can turn out bad when they realize its a magic trick not a game of chance.

These shells are fantastic, I'm proud to own and use them. They are no longer offered for sale by Black Fox himself, so I am eternally grateful for Penguin's web site which has them in stock.

They handle like a dream, nice large shells that are highly visible, loads and steals are buttery smooth. The bottoms of these shells are PERFECTLY finished smooth to they glide along my close up mat without and fabric friction. Because of the Chanin dip these Master Shells do not have the traditional indentation in the back, there is no need for it.

The buyer should know that these shells are not made of copper, they are some sort of resin with a quality copper paint job.
