There are endless wonderful routines with cups and balls. Max Malini, Al Baker, Sam Horowitz, Charlie Miller, Paul Rosini, Dai Vernon, and many other talented artists have featured this trick in their close-up routines.
It’s a close-up trick! It can be performed with paper cups, completely surrounded by spectators, or with silver cups in a more formal setting.
The difference between a good performer and an expert is how the expert manipulates the props, performs fake ball transfers, and deceptively executes the final, large charges.
This download will help you learn how to properly execute these key techniques. It also includes a complete routine that can be performed with any cups. Alternatively, select elements can be incorporated into your existing routine. If you’re a beginner, this download will be invaluable.
