The classic cups and balls effect using just one cup and one ball!Manufactured in heavy brass! This is a truly fine collector quality piece of magic! What a great gift for the magician in your life- or even yourself!
The ball can be made to magically jump from the hand to the cup and back again. You can make the ball disappear, or change it into something else- even an oversized knit ball! Because the large knit ball is included!
A great routine can climax with the production of a piece of fruit from under the cup! So many effects are possible.
Brass cups are sometimes favored by magicians, because the darker brass color is less reflective than aluminum.The color makes it less likely that the load inside the cup will be seen by mistake. And many professional magicians actively collect different sets of cups and chop cups, especially treasuring the cups with superior balance- like this one. This brass cup will not only give you many years of performance pleasure, but it will also look fantastic on your library shelf! It's definitely a "show off"!
This cup is specially constructed for optimum balance and handling.
For more detailed instruction and routines, see the Chop Cup Book.
Replacement or extra balls are also available. Our Closeup Pads make a nice performance surface. And a Deluxe Magician's Wand helps in the smooth performance of certain routines.
