Could we start a comprehensive list of existing and recognised cups and balls routine? E.g Dai Vernon's routine and what's next? Let's list down here - 1) Dai Vernon's cups and balls routine - source ? 2) ? 3) ? If the source of the routine is also available, I believe it would be be great to include in the list too. I believe this thread would be useful reference for cups and balls lovers. Thanks in advance for the participation. |

| I think it might be close to duplicationg all of Lint's fine work. |
|
||

I was just thinking of having the routines only. I do not mean to duplicate Lint's wonderful work. We can ignore the books or sources. Basically I am trying to log down existing cups and balls act or routines, whether they are published or not. I have just ammended the original post so it would not duplicate Lint's work. Thanks for your thoughts. Ammended post ... Could we start a comprehensive list of existing and recognised cups and balls routine? E.g Dai Vernon's routine and how many cups were used in their routine? Let's list down here - 1) Dai Vernon's cups and balls routine - 3 cups 2) ? 3) ? I believe this thread would be useful reference for cups and balls lovers. Thanks in advance for the participation. |

Charlie Miller - Too numerous to mention 3 cup routines and Indian Cups and balls Pete Biro - Various as well Johnny Thomnpson - 3 cup routine Mike Rogers - 3 cup routine Jos Bema (Tommy Wonder) - Solid Can routine Fred Caps - 3 cups Jim Cellini - 3 cups |

Aldo Colombini has published several different routines for three cups. John Mendoza has two three cup routines on one of his DVD's. There is the Guyot routine. There is the Ozanam routine. There is the Hocus Pocus Jr. routine from the first edition. There is the expanded Hocus Pocus Jr. routine from the second edition. |
|

|
A few more, including some blasts from the past - John Ramsay Johnny Paul Alex Elmsley Jim Ryan Laurie Ireland Charles Burton Ken Brooke Joe Berg Milton Kort Rafael Benatar Burtini John Platt Manuel Muerte Tom Mullica Dan Fleshman Eddie Joseph |
|
||
|
Eddie Joseph would have to be in there, somewhere, but there are a couple of factors to consider with his work. One is that he often improvised his routine. He had an encyclopedic knowledge of the trick, and published many different routines. The other is one I cannot confirm, but I have been told that Eddie's work with the cups and balls was somewhat disorganized. |

Also, some of his ideas on cup technique are clearly ideas that don't appear to have been backed up with much thought! :) I wish someone would publish an "Annotated Eddie Joseph". -bosco |

I would also include John Mendoza's routine(s) for the combo cups (3 cup set). Julie |

Abraham Bongers also had a three cup routine. Manuel Muerte -- one cup. |
|

James Sorry, I was a bit slow replying to my suggestions - but it looks like the guys have filled in all the gaps. There's an error in #38: John Ramsay's famous routine was with just 2 ice cream cups. He also published a one-cup routine using an 'Indian' cup. A few more: Gary Kurtz - 3 cups John Bannon - 3 cups Steve Draun - 3 cups Ed Marlo - 3 cups |
|
||
|
We should add Andy Comic...very entertaining routine with elements of both two-ball and three-ball handling. Best regards, Glenn Godsey |
|
||

Does the 3 cup routine published in Mark Wilson's book count? I see Jos Berna's Solid Can routine is listed; in this case, let's also include the similar solid can routines published by Paul Harris and Michael Ammar. I believe Jay Sankey also had a C&B routine published in Sankey Pankey; haven't read it so don't know how many cups it involved, sorry. Peter Wardell teaches a street cups routine - with, of course, similarity to Gazzo's, on DVD. David Regal also has a one cup routine in print. Cheers. |
|
||
|
That's Bema, not Berma. Jos Bema is Jos Bemelman, AKA Tommy Wonder. It would be good to track down who originated the solid can routine, because they are all actually fairly similar, except for Lonnie Chevrie's, in which the ball used ends up inside the can. |
|
||
|
*sorry about that, Bill. Knew it was TW's name, but didn't know it was short for Bemelman. Good to know, thanks. I read that the solid can routine was a PH idea, somewhere. Not 100%, though. |

Oh About Houdini ...There was a series of letters in the 1920's in which his routine is mentioned. The letters were in the possesion of a friend of mine named Ted Corothers. Ted passed away several years ago and the letters were part of his back room of his shop so when it was taken over It went with the shop. I do not know who is in the possesion of those letters at this time there were about 150 or more hand written letters in a nice binder that Ted was trying to get to some museum before he died. When Ted honored me with showing them to me he knew of my facination with the cups and balls and specificly pointed that part of these letters in the middle of the binder he showed me. Hopefully the letters found a good home and are still intact. Later, Mobius |

You might want to check with Steven Sparks, Kevin Connolly and/or Arthur Moses to see if they know anything about such a book. I would really like to know what Houdini did with the cups and balls. Re: The solid cup routine -- I'm not sure which came first, the can or the solid cone that Gary Wolfsberger manufactured. The cone dates back to 1974. Shigeo Tagaki had two different solid cup routines that were marketed by Jeff Busby. |
|
||
|
Me? I've performed the Vernon, Ramsay and Roth cups, papercups and chop cup routines. I have a few sleights but no major routine to claim. |
|
||
|
I too would like to know more about Houdini's work with the cups -todd also..Bob Farmer has a nice routine called Cyclops. 3 cups, one ball. |
|
||
|
We've forgotten to include two major names: Ross Bertram - 3 cups J.N. Hofzinser - 2 cups & a hat (routine reprinted by Karl Fulves in '69) |
|
||
|
Two more whose routines I have seen in person and enjoyed... Eric DeCamps...3 cups John George...3 cups |
|
||
| Mark Wilson's ... 3 Cups |

How long do you think this list would go? Any more inputs? Thanks everyone for this exciting participation. I find it really beneficial. |
|

| Just a couple of pieces of information. The Paul Harris routine with the can was, indeed, based upon the solid cone, which is credited to Lawrence Steinmeyer in Paul's book. However, it was Wolfsberger who marketed and promoted it. I am not sure who did what with the solid cone. |
|
||
| Bill, which Paul Harris book is this routine in? |
|
||
|
It's in [i]Las Vegas Close Up[/i] and [i]Art of Astonishment 1[/i]. It is called "Uncanny." Here are a couple of other names to add to the list Robert-Houdin -- 3 cup routine Professor Hoffmann -- 3 cup routine |
|
||

James, I learned the Vernon routine with three cups, Ramsay's using two, Roth's chop cup routine from his lecture and also something with an egg cup which is Geoff Latta's and unpublished as far as I know. I'd like to learn what Hofzinser was doing and when I can get the props also work on something with a bowl and some small stones. But through all that I can only claim to have invented a few sleights which found places in those routines, and so have nothing to claim as my own as far as routines go. So I don't need to be on your list at all. (for now) :) |
|
||
|
I don't believe Jack Bateman's 3 cup "Rub-A-Dub-Dub" routine has been mentioned yet on this thread. Terry |
|
||
| There's an Ian Adair routine using flower pots and "seeds" in one of his books. |
|
||
| The Hofzinser routine is in Dick Hatch's translation, as well as in a Karl Fulves publication. |
|
||
| Dick Williams has a 3 cup routine with an audience member for stage. |

Your knowledge, love and dedication to the art of cups and balls deserve a place in this current work. It is an honor to have you in the list. I'll contact you personally for more info on your work. This list is only the beginning. I will be working on the materials with supporting documents and interviews and have them published on my website/book later on. I will be contacting more members in this forum soon on their work in cups and balls, and have their name in this list. |

I did this routine about 3 years ago for IBM Ring 39. I used four sets of mini cups, the Riser cups, the Van Dokkum cups, the Ravel mini cups and the Ickle Pickle mini cups which looked like the Ravel cups. I had a close-up mat that was made from automobile headliner material -- about 36 inches by 24 inches. The club thought it was just a demonstration of the different styles of mini cups, so it made my task easier. I started with each set in its drawstring bag, with a setup like you find in Alex Elmsley's book for the salt load, so I was working one ahead. I had the various load balls in each of my jacket pockets, so I could get to them in the natural handling of the cups, etc. I demonstrated one set, and the size of load it took, then moved it to the front right corner of the mat, all three cups mouth down, and put a load ball on top of the center cup. I did the same thing with the second set, but put it at the front left corner of the mat. The third set went to the right rear corner of the mat, and the last set went to the left rear corner of the mat. Then I said, "Remember, this set will work with handballs (and revealed that there were three handballs under that set), this set works with golf balls (revealing the golf balls), this set with miniature tennis balls (revealing those), and this set with smaller tennis balls (revealing those)." Due to the nature of the routine, I had ample time to get loads and put them into the cups. The final display had four sets of mini cups across the front edge of the mat. Eric Falconer mentions it here: http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/search_post.php?topic=94452&forum=115&post=3904092 |

Dominique Duvivier performs his to music. He also has some great misdirection built into his presentation. Hmm, I don't see his name on the list. 3 cups, two people, 3 ball finale with fourth cup production |

| There was a fellow at the Let's Go Magic convention in Berlin in 1992 who performed as an automaton, using very large cups -- probably flowerpots -- all in white. It was elegant. I'll see if I can find out who he was. |

James, 7) Carl Andrews - 2 cups (He has a 1 cup & 3 balls routine as well) 44) Manuel Muerte - 3 cups (I'm not sure whether he has a 3 cups routine or not but he has a 2 cups routine in his "Done By Misdirection" DVD) 47) Flicking Fingers - 3 cups (There's another guy who use 2 cups in this DVD) 92) Carl Coultier's - 1 cup (World Class Magic) 93) Peter Wardell - 3 cups & a hat (Crowdpuller) 94) Alexander De Cova - 3 cups 95) Glenn Bishop - 3 cups 96) |

That's Cloutier, not Coultier. Peter Wardell's routine is basically Gazzo's Manuel Muerte's routine is a two cup routine. |
|

Johnny Ace Palmer (USA) - 3 cups, with live chicks as final loads Wow, what a great list this is becoming! :) |
|

That's an excellent routine. I gave Johhny a line to use with it. He offered to pay me for it, but I turned down the payment. I wanted to give it to him. He's a friend. And a heck of a nice guy, as well as a really great performer. |

With so many routines having now been listed (although some of them are identical twins), it would be interesting to learn which are the personal favourites of Café members. Speaking for myself, I'd have to say that the standard Dai Vernon routine (as explained by Ganson in The Dai Vernon Book of Magic)is still tops for me. I rather suspect, though, that most of us have developed preferred routines based on a combination of different routines....a little-bit-of-this-and-a-little-bit-of-that. Fortasse |
|
||
|
What would also be interesting (re James Tong's list) would be identify how many BALLS are used in these routines. Most routines use (you know how many) balls but there are some like Aldo Columbini's classic routine (as described in Lewis Ganson's "Columbini's Cups And Balls") that use five. Another routine of particular interest along these lines is John Ramsay's classic two cup routine (as described by Victor Farelli in "John Ramsay's Routine With Cups And Balls" (1948) and more recently by Andrew Galloway on DVD)in which the standard (you know how many) balls are used although the audience is only ever aware of TWO of them. Fortasse |

For a long time, my favorite routine was the Vernon routine, and it is still one of my favorites. Like the Don Alan chop cup routine, it is the template that most of us have used to construct a routine. However, I have recently become attracted to the Rafael Benatar routine. It's not as long as the Vernon routine, but it leaves out a lot of the things that may not be necessary any more. It's reasonably short and to the point, yet it has some remarkable technical aspects. There is a bit of Vernonism in it, but it is definitely Rafael's. |
|
||
| How far do we go in describing the routines before we start exposing things? Would it be fair to the inventors if we tipped that they used five balls and a combo set for what looks to the world like a 3 ball routine? |

Ferenc Galambos uses his routine as well, you can find it in UGM VII (2004). |

| Would it be alright if we have a private list on it? If it is, then I can work on it privately. Just my thoughts. If not I will also agree that we should not expose the inventors' work. |

Most routines use (you know how many) balls but there are some like Aldo Columbini's classic routine (as described in Lewis Ganson's "Columbini's Cups And Balls") that use five. Another routine of particular interest along these lines is John Ramsay's classic two cup routine (as described by Victor Farelli in "John Ramsay's Routine With Cups And Balls" (1948) and more recently by Andrew Galloway on DVD)in which the standard (you know how many) balls are used although the audience is only ever aware of TWO of them. Fortasse [/quote] Sean, my work on this list do not just end here. I will be researching on the following to include on the list. 1) Name of performer 2) Country of origin 3) How many cups used 4) Which cup used 5) How many routines 6) How many balls used 7) What kind of balls used 8) What are their finale or final loads 9) Reference materials on their work I would also contact them personally, if I can to interview them as well as to get permission to do a write up on their work (if they permit). I hope I can get my hands, with permission from them, various photographs of each of them performing the routines. It is a humongous task. Hope I would succeed. This work does not expose the mechanics or technical aspects of their work but more on a reference material for serious cups and balls workers/lovers. At least we all know who did what and where they are from and their work is also recognised and appreciated. I really appreciate the support I am getting from this forum. Thanks everyone for your kind support. |

| I would be reworking on the list soon. I believe placing the names in alphabetical order helps in looking out for the names easier. |
|
||
| Yeah. lastname first really helps. I recently redid my last in that fashion and it is much easier for research. -todd |
|
||
| Yes, I would do that too. But first I have also to get the full name of these performers and then find out what their last names are. |

Michael Vincent has a great 3 cup routine that fooled me here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MSKFJtaS5k -todd |

| Those are nice cups. They are the John Mendoza cups made by Tim Star. |
|
||
| They looked like JP cups to me. How come tim star doesn't advertise his cups? are they all custom jobs? -todd |

| Michael's routine is lovely; I'm delighted he decided to share it with us online. |

I'm curious. Do you want original routines? Or a list of people who perform other people's routines? To me minor changes in a vanish doesn't make it "original" but only a variation. I may be mistaken, but I see names on the list who pretty much perform published routines as written with very little changes. As long as you're getting into such detail, maybe a heading for "Routine Inspired by" should be added. Okay, I just saw "Reference Material" listed on a previous page. That should just about cover it. |
|

Dave, thanks for this pointing out. After I have rework the list in alphabetical order, we will be adding more info, such as performer's country of origin, etc. I will also add an extra heading - "Routine Inspired By" section, so we get to differentiate performers using published routines and those with original routines. Thanks, Dave. |

Mr. Tong fun list you've started I noticed that Dai Vernon's routine heads the list and is probably the most popular routine to study when starting out. However, I wonder how the version from The Dai Vernon book of Magic differs from the "Impromtu Cups and Balls" in Stars of Magic. I sold my 1st edition copy of The Dai Vernon Book of Magic a few years ago because I needed the money. Would anyone care to compare/contrast the two routines? For example the impromtu version uses no wand, while the other version does. Another point I wanted to make- I noticed that in order to facilitate a quick and easy summary the performer's name has been mentioned followed by the number of cups used. If you plan on expanding this list in the future (I know it's just a quick and easy fun list for now) it would be interest me to know: 1.) The style/ material of the cups used 2.) Did the performer utilize a wand or not? 3.) What kind of balls were used- cork, croquet, sponge balls etc. 4.) What loads were utilized - fruit, tennis balls, other cups etc. Finally If I may suggest- the list should be on cups and balls- therefore the criterion should include only those routines that use two or more cups, otherwise you are really getting into listing chop cup routines. ( and if so may go well ahead and list benson bowl routines as well) Two entries I'd like to see considered- Arthur Trace and David Williamson. I don't have their routines in front of be but both of these gentleman have constructed very off beat creative versions of this classic. (Or am I mistaken- was Williamsons a chop cup routine?) Anyway the Trace routines can be found in the Genii issue with him on the cover - The C&B routine introduces rings that appear on top of the cups instead of loads and the routine he does with the bells is essentially a cup and ball routine if you choose to look at it that way- |
|
||
| Duh - I just noticed the Williamson routine was already mentioned (2 cups and a spoon) that settles my dilema. |
|
||
| Anyone got a copy of the Hofzinser routine? |
|
||
| Yes. I have it in English (in Richard Hatch's translation) and I have it in German. |

I sold my 1st edition copy of The Dai Vernon Book of Magic a few years ago because I needed the money. Would anyone care to compare/contrast the two routines?

The Impromptu Cups and Balls Routine from the [i]Stars of Magic[/i] differs only slightly from the routine in the [i]Dai Vernon Book of Magic.[/i] The differences are that there is no cup through cup bit. There is no wand work. So it boils down to the ball sequences and the final loads, which are basically the same in both routines. The version in the [i]Dai Vernon Book of Magic[/i] goes into a lot more detail about certain parts of the routine. The Ammar version of the wand spin described in both of his books differs from the way Vernon shows it in the [i]Dai Vernon Book of Magic.[/i] Regarding whether James should include chop cup routines or one cup and ball routines in his list: that is up to him. It is his list. I would rather see more things than less included, simply because the information in certain routines may be applicable to all forms of the cups and balls. If he feels like including Benson Bowl routines, that's up to him. We don't get to set the parameters on someone else's work. |

[/quote] Thanks for taking the time to answer my question re Vernon's Routines. I was not trying to "set parameters" on Mr. Tong's work I was just trying to raise the question as to what constitutes a cup and ball routine and what does not. To me any routine wich uses only one cup is a chop cup routine (wheather or not it is gaffed) those routines using two or more cups (to me) are cup and ball routines. I brought up the Trace routine with the bells- because it is also worth considering if this is essentially a cup a ball routine. Thanks- Mark |

If you are going to consider one cup and ball routines to be the equivalent of chop cup routines, then the consideration should go the other way. One cup and ball routines were around before the chop cup existed. So a chop cup routine is essentially a one cup and ball routine, and not the other way around, to my way of thinking. This would also mean that the one cup routines were also closer to being a bowl routine than I had first felt. Recalling Don Alan's work with the Benson Bowl routine, in his last years, his bowl was deep enough that it would accommodate a large ball bearing, which he then challenged the spectator to remove from the bowl. They couldn't do it, because there was not enough room to get any purchase on the ball. Some of the "new" principles used in the cups and balls were actually introduced as part of one cup routines. For example, the drop move that Eddy Ray seems to think he originated is in the Tarbell book in Crandall's one cup routine. I'll admit there is a problem figuring out what needs to be included and what doesn't. For example, the balls under the hat is essentially a bowl routine. OTOH, Arthur Trace's routine would probably qualify. It's not so much that it's about cups and balls as it is about objects and covers. Even Scot referred to the routine being done with saltcellar covers. |

[/quote] O.K. now I see where you are coming from- I just didn't think of it that way. I suppose my "map" of magic often begins with a cronilogical consideration of what I experienced as a youth and what I know now. I actulally remember asking a proprietor of a magic shop, "what is a chop cup" when I was I guess 12 years old and saw one displayed in the glass case (I might of thought that since there was only one cup it implied that he'd "chop down" the price. ;) The fact that my familialarity with "cups and balls" predates my first encounter with the chop cup (adams sets/ descriptions in library books)accounts for the reason why I thought of it as I had above. Interesting...but stupid ;) |
|
||
|
Not necessarily stupid. Just different points of view. In all of this neither you nor I are either right or wrong. We just have our own opinions. You explained yours, I explained mine. The one that counts, in the long run, is the viewpoint of the fellow making the list. Granted, there are some things that I consider cups and balls that I did not consider to be so before I did certain bits of research. When I had the first sets of acetabula constructed, I did not realize until I had them in hand that they were more like a shell game or Indian cups than the ones we are accustomed to now. So I include shell games in my collection. Opinions change. When I first started into magic, I absolutely disdained the use of gimmicks. But after seeing some real masters of magic use them the way they were intended, I became more amenable to them. I was a "magician-driven" performer, rather than an "audience-driven" performer. |
|
||
|
Yes, where do you draw the line? It's interesting when you say that, "It's not so much that it's about cups and balls as it is about objects and covers". I don't want to get too off topic here, but it seems that reducing what we do to the lowest common denominator can make things clearer to us as performers, and allow us to better select props so that they fit our character and style of performing. A set of Sherwood's might not be for everybody, but I like the idea that every magician could choose to perform his own version of "objects and covers" as a homage to the classic cups and balls. And indeed as the growing list proves many have. |
|
||
|
Where you draw the line depends on how you perceive the trick. I must admit that it was Jonathan Townsend who first pointed out to me that it was about objects and covers. In a way, there is a tenuous relationship between the cups and balls and Matrix, but I doubt that anyone would ever confuse Matrix with the cups and balls. If you are assembling a compilation, maybe the best thing to do is not so much to draw a line as it would be to compartmentalize. In this case, that's up to James. |

I need some assistance on the list ... Based on the inputs I get, some of the performers do not have their full names. Could I have the full name of the performers? And may I also know which is their last names? That way I can work out another version based on last name first. Thanks! |
|
||
| What about Paul Gertner's routine with the hat and dice? |
|
||
|
Could I have more info on Paul Gertner's routine with the hat and dice? How many dice did he use? What was his finale (final load)? What hat did he use? With this bit of info I can quickly put him into the appropriate place in the list. You would noticed that the list is now categorized. |
|
||
| The final loads were two large dice. These are available from Kidwell. He used four 1 inch dice, a two inch die and a four inch die. |
|
||
| Thanks, Bill. Paul Gertner's work will be added to the list in the appropriate section. His name will be added on the next updated list post. |

David Roth has an Innovative routine with Chop cup and different collored balls. Roth routine is written up in one of the New York Magic Symposium books Eric DeCamps also has a chop cup routine and a three cup routine neither of which is in print currently. Johnathon Pendragon has a standard three cup and ball routine He did it impromtu for us at Magi-fest a long time ago. |

We have a couple of names in the list that is not complete. Without the full name of the performers mentioned in the list we will not know the real person, as in the case of Burtini and Fabian. I would really appreciate if some of the names mentioned in the list can be ammended to the full name. I really have no idea what their real names are. Could anyone help me out on this? |
|

May I have the real names (full names) of the following performers? Guyot - 3 cups Kristle - 3 cups O.W. Meyer - 3 cups Ozanam - 3 cups Dr. Daly - 3 cups Burtini - 3 cups Bosco - 3 cups Kosmo - 1 cup Thanks for helping out. |

Guy Hollingsworth - 3 cups Mike Perlman 3 cups,2 cups and one cup routines I also do a pretty standard Chop cup routine. |
|

Ozanam's name was Jacques Ozanam Guyot's name was Edme-Gilles Guyot O. W. Meyer was Orville W. Meyer Burtini was William Powell Dr. Daly was Jacob Daly, M.D. Bosco was Bartolomeo Bosco Fabian and Burtini were different people. Actually there were three Fabians. The first one was E. Ray Griffiths, who was also the editor of the Journal of the British Magical Society. Aldo Colombini also used the name for a while. And there was also the "singer" Fabian Forte. But I don't think he ever did any magic. |

Was reading the Paul Rosini book and he mentions several magicians who produced chicks as final loads. Paul Rosini used Brema cups and produced 6 chicks as a final load as well as an alternate ending of a liquid load. The liquid load ending was where he produced three empty shot glasses, covered them witht he cups and the glasses were filled twice. Luxor Gali-Gali (Mahguob Mohammad Hanafi) produced Chicks used 3 cups John Booth - 3 cups and produced chicks Ross Bertram - 3 cups and chicks Rosini's cups with the liquid loads were called the Miracle Cups and Balls and were distributed by National Magic Company in 1937. Harry Blackstone Sr. also did a 3 cups routine and produced 4 balls as a climax Ricki Dunn also produces Chicks at the end of his routine. |

Please could I ask if Edward Victor put a routine into print? Bobby Bernard told me to look that one up, but I haven't found it yet. James, thank you for this thread, it's become a fantastic resource. Two minor editing points - David Regal's one cup routine is a Chop Cup routine, and spelling is Guy Hollingworth, no 'S'. Cheers :) |

Look on page 201 of The Magic of Edward Victor's Hands. There is mention of and details in part of his routine with the Cups and Balls. The first three pages of his notewbook were missing so the routine is not copmplete but it is interesting just the same. Ed's cups went to Wil Ayling. Any idea what happened to those cups Bill??? Stewart James also had a Cups and Balls routine and that is detailed in his huge set of books. David Regal has more than one routine that he does. He has a straight and a chopped routine. Later, Mobius |

I forgot .... Lance Burton 3 cups with Live Mouse Finale. Harry Anderson - 3 cups with Baseball final loads. |
|
||
|
Thanks, Mike. How many mouse did Lance Burton uses for the finale? And how many baseballs did Harry Anderson uses for the finale? |
|
||
|
I need to watch the Burton routine again ...i think it was three mice Harry ....4 baseballs and a softball? ....need to rewatch that one again too ....thanks for the evenings entertainment. Mike |

I think there's one by Shigeo Takagi (1 cup) I don't know how much detail I should tell in order not to expose any part of the genius in it. |
|
||
|
Thanks, zwong. Is Shigeo Takagi doing a 1 cup routine or a chop cup routine? What is his finale? Does he also work with 2 cups or 3 cups? How about the bowls routine? You can just reveal how many cups he used and what his finale is. |
|
||
|
The routine goes like this: Shigeo starts by playing around with a wooden cup and a ball, making it appear, disappear and travels between hand, pocket and cup. The ball then puff up and change size in the cup. So the "final" load is actually introduced before the end. Then it slowly became apparent that the cup is actually solid. The finale is when the final load actually penetrates the solid cup and revealed again when Shigeo separates the 2 halves of the cup. Well, as for as I understand it, it's a very gimmicked wooden cup which is really a normal sized wooden cup in 2 parts. The bottom (mouth side) part is solid while the top part is hollow and can be filled with loads. Both parts come together to form a very normal looking wooden cup. Not a chop cup. I hope that helps. |
|
||
| I'm not aware of any bowl routines from him. If there is, I would love to see it! |
|
||
|
Thanks,Zwong, I will have Shigeo's name in the list in my next update. BTW, does he publish his routine in any book? |
|
||
|
Yes the book is The Amazing Miracles of Shigeo Takagi. The routine with the soilid cup is on page 26 The routine is calle simply : The Solid Cup It is really well thought out and uses two balls and two final loads. It appears to magicinas that he is using a chopped cup but it is not a chop cup at all. It was first written up in 1977. In the same book on page 94 Mr. Takagi has a three bowl routine. Title of it is : Owan to Toma uses silk traditional balls that he teaches you how to make and a fruit (3 ) final load. It is performed to traditional Japanese Soft steady music. It is a very pretty routine. I would like to get a cup from Jake now....the routines are too good not to work on. Later, Mobius |
|
||
| Thanks, Mike. Shigeo Takagi's name will also be mentioned in the list under the bowls routine. |

Yes, the routines are too good not to work on. Any idea where I can get my hands on the special solid cups of his? |
|
||
| The solid cup occasionally shows up on magic auction sites, such as Ron Alessi's IMA site. Tricks, Inc. has issued a copy of this cup. |
|
||
| I think Jake at RnTII is also doing a version of the solid cup (it may be one of his limited editions, though). |
|
||
|
The solid cup would be a good and different routine to play with. Any idea when Jake is launching his version of the solid cup? |
|
||
|
I thought it was already on his site. Mobius |
|
||
|
It's in the 'One of a Kind' section of the RnT2 website. Richard |
|

| Is Jake having a few sets left or is that the only one left at his site? |

Hi everyone, sorry for not chiming in sooner, I was away in Jersey for a funeral for the past several days. I generally make these to order, solid or 2 piece. Price is generally dictated on the type of wood you choose. We do not supply a routine, it's simply the props. All of the cups we have done for this have been either Rosewood or a burl wood. I believe Harry Murphy gave us a favorable review on the Café of our solid cup made of East Indies Rosewood. Any questions, please feel free to PM or email me a jake@rnt2.com I'm trying to get caught up on emails and PM's as quickly as possible from over the past few days and have some orders to fill, I'll get back to you as soon as I can with a reply if you write. -Jake |

Magicians that I have seen live performing cups and balls include: Michael Ammar Shawn Farquhar Tim Ellis Nick Nicholas |
|
||
|
My list of live viewings includes: Michael Ammar Johnny "Ace" Palmer Someone who produced baseballs, and a full size baseball BAT Michael Skinner Tom Frank Gazzo Maybe that's telling us something. Of all the people performing this, when it comes down to it very few people have actually seen this performed live and in public. All mine (with the exception of Skinner) have been magician only events. If we as magicians haven't seen that many, what are the chances that the average layperson has ever seen this at all? The field is wide open out there. Of all the variations available, it's for our own enjoyment. As far as percentages go, nobody seems to see this stuff but us. |
|
||
| Did we omit Danny Tong's Chop Cup routine |
|
||
|
Thanks, Noel. I think Danny Tong's name is not in the list. I will include him in. May I know what balls and how many does he use? How about his finale? How many final loads? What balls does he use? What cup does he use? |
|
||
|
I never thought to mention him because it's not a "Cups and Balls" routine. Danny uses one ball(as far as they know), one cup. The "final load" is a build up from a color change, to another(larger) ball. |
|
||
|
Is Danny's one cup routine a one cup routine or is it a chop cup routine? Does he perform 2 or 3 cups routine also? |
|
||
|
This particular one is definitely "Chop Cup" although he precedes it with a few sleight of hand moves. In that case, this one blurs the lines a bit. For $10 you can see it on the new "Reel Magic Quarterly" video magazine advertised here. |
|
||
| Danny's routine is on his #2 video. To the audience it's one ball. The finaly is 2 large but different type balls as I recall. There may be a color change as well but I can't remember. |
|
||
| Yes, the first reveal of a "second ball" is a color change. "You may have figured that I use two balls, one's green (the first was red), the other looks an awful lot like [i]that[/i]" as he reveals the large yellow ball. Nice double climax to a very smooth routine. |
|
||
|
Here's the latest update on the 'Cups and Balls Routines'. Instead of searchning through this thread for the latest update all the time, I have created a web page for this list. This is to make it easy for everyone to print a copy of it every time it is updated.

OK here are some pertinent notes: Abraham Bongers you list is really Fred Kaps' actual name. He did a 3 cup routine with sponge balls. As did: Senator Crandall, Laurie Ireland, Johnny Paul, Jim Ryan. (All Chicago bar types. Jay Marshall did cups and balls DAnny Dew and Paul Fox too. Indian Cups: Shankar Junior, Charlie Miller and Johnny Platt (and yours truly). There is another Indian magician on YouTube that does it as well. Don Alan did Chop Cup, Bowl and a Hat routine (all in same show) Called "A Darker Shade of Malini" producing a lump of coal instead of the block of ice. Paul Daniels does the Chop Cup AS WELL AS THE MALINI with hat and BLOCK OF ICE. SERGIO BARROS is a terrific busker in London (he's Brazilian) and learned the routine FROM Gazzo. Lee Hathaway is another UK Busker in Covent Garden doing cups. Dean Dill has a clever routine with 3 cups as does Allan Hayden (based on "find the pea" and is similar at the end to the Vernon. Mike Rogers did Paul Fox chick cups in trade shows. Vernonesque routine Fred Kaps did a 1-cup routine using a collapsible camera lens shade (so it would fold flat I his pocket) Bill Wells, USA, does a routine in Colonial Williamsburg that fits the time with costume, etc. Joe Berg had a set of cups made of Wicker? or Raffia? he marketed. OK CHOP CUPS YOU MISSED AL WHEATLEY AKA CHOP CHOP Ron Wilson (many think Larry Jennings created the routine but it was Wilson with Bob Stencel who came up with the load using a silk for cover). I created the bowl routine using a musical TAMBOURINE the noise of the tambo covers a noisy load. Pat Page showed in a video loading a huge fistfull of coins on a glass table top. No noticable sound thanks to the Tambo. I also used a rubber toilet plunger (others came up with same idea independently" One being Mike caveney Benson's Bowl was based on the Japanese Owan ta toma written up by Takagi (who I saw do this)... The other early bowl routine was the REZVANI TOMATO TRICK.... Which I have adapted some of, but the MASTER with it was DICK ZIMMERMAN, usa, who did it cross legged on the floor and fried all with the final load (a brick)! Did you list Shankar Jr. with Indian cups? There is an Indian performer on You Tube doing it in the streets in India, forget his name. Goshman did a great Bowl Routine finishing with a large bagel, followed by "Locks" (LOX?) Padlocks. Oh, Mark Jensest routine with the little jigger "jiggernaut" ?? My Cocktail surprise using a cocktail shaker for a one cup routine Shoot Ogwawa also does a one cup routine with a cocktail shaker That's all I can think of right now. phew |

Hi, The spelling is "OWAN TO TAMA"... John Carney has a routine with a coffee cup, a crumpled bill from which a corner has been cut off and given to a spectator and a knife.The final load is a lemon, inside which is found the vanished bill. The final climax is when _ of course _ the corner matches the bill. It's in Carneycopia, p. 99. There's also Harry Riser's routine involving three heavy copper Ross Bertram cups, five crochet-covered cork balls an inch diameter, and three crochet-covered rubber balls, two and a half diameter. I have read the post, yet maybe those inputs have already been done... Sorry if it's the case, Regards, |
|
||
| I do a one cup and ball routine using metal balls throughout. It can be done table hopping and requires no lapping. its on my DVD "Punishment" available from Murphys. |
|
||
|
Pete: THANK YOU very much for those latest inputs and corrections. Hope you did not get arthritis posting them LOL :) lawrens: Thanks for the input. Will check and include them as well. swindler: I will include you in the list. Thanks for dropping by. This list will continue to grow as more inputs are contributed. A very BIG THANK YOU to all that have contributed. |
|
||
| My routine uses 3 cups with 4 oranges and a coconut final load. |
|
||
| 2 cups, 3 very special working balls, 3 -whatever I can get- final loads (I am desiring Doug Higley's shrunken heads) and a great deal of profanity. |

I never thought that I'd get on this list but here goes: I do a three cup routine, my final loads are three fake eggs. I do a two cup routine but it is basically David Williamsons. I do a chop cup routine, the final load is an eight ball. I am working on a two chop cup routine. Tom |
|
||
| Suzanne, a wonderful female close upper from Minnesota (a student of Al Schneider) does a wonderful cups and balls routine (3 cups) with a finish of a cup full of "diamonds" (zircons?) Which fools me and I understand is a creation of Al's. |
|
||
| Thanks, Pete. May I know Suzanne's full name? I would like to include her to the list too. |

| Sorry, James, she only uses "Suzanne" and I don't know her full name. It's kinda like "Gazzo" that's all he uses. |
|

| Thanks, Pete. I will just list her as Suzanne then. Hope to find her full name one day. |

Hey James. Thanks for compiling that massive list for us. - Freddy |

James - Sue's last name is Sinclair. Sue uses rhinestones as a final load. The principle she employes is demonstrated by Al Schneider on his DVD set; Al uses 'shards' of glass. Getting enough rhinestones to fill a cup can be pretty expensive, though Czech-made rhinestones are much cheaper. A much trickier business is to get the foil backing off the stones so that they look like real diamonds. I use rhinestones as a load for my Sherwood cups and have done some work on the preparation of the stones and would be happy to share if interested. Richard |

| There is routine by R. Shane in his book Pentalogy. It is a storyteller routine, wich uses an story about a curse made by an ancient egyptian magician. It is a three/two cups routine, with sheets of parchment and an scorpio as final load. |

Shigeo Takagi's first version of his "One cup routine" did not use a cup that split in two, it was just turned solid wood shaped like a cup. When he updated it as the "New One Cup Routine" he added the split cup and different ending. I know because I own the New Cup Routine (purchased from Jeff Busby in the Eighties), and the original instuctions are for a regular solid cup, but appended into the booklet are the new instructions for New Cup and the suprise ending. It is not a chop-cup, but a "seemingly" solid cup. Should we also add the Beanie Weenie routine by Paul Harris (another Solid Cup Routine but done with a can of Van Camps Beanie Weenies)? I hate to say it, but I actually prefer this effect to Takagi's... I also must second Suzanne's routine; I saw her do her her C/B routine at a convention a couple of years ago and it is a thing of beauty! Suzanne, you rock! Douglas M. |
|
||
|
I think Beanie Weenie is actually David Williamson's. The best of this genre, IMHO, is Lonnie Chevrie's. He starts with a seemingly empty pudding can. He also involves a golf ball. At the end, the golf ball disappears. He turns the can over, and it is sealed. He opens the can and the golf ball is inside, in the pudding. |

Anyone here seen Scott York's Cups and Balls manuscript from the 70's I think it's called "X-Rated" or something like that? |
|
||

Yes. It comes up on eBay from time to time. X-Rated cups and balls routine. |

Paul Harris Published a 1 cup routine in Magic Manuscript - early to mid 80's. Not sure if it was included in art of astonishment. and Al Cohn had a 3 cup routine. published in Pallbearers review. |
|

Oops, when I said Paul Harris "Beanie Weenie", I meant "Uncanny". It is from Las Vegas Close Up, 1978. Michael Ammar re-did the effect as "Beanie Weenie" in his World Class Close Up V.2 tape, 1979. For what its' worth, the Takagi New Cup Routine came with a matching wooden wand that was used to produce the ball at the beginning. Also, John Bannon has a nice chop cup routine called Chop2 in Impossibilia. Douglas M. |

Did harry anderson ever do the cups and balls? if so would he qualify for this list. |
|
||
| Only if he has a unique cups and balls routine. I know he did the cups and balls at one time, but his routine, if it was different, was never published or put on video. |
|

| Is there a Cups & Balls routine with a distinctly "Vegas" script/effect? |
|

Okay, I know this thread is older and has been recently invigorated. My favorite routine to perform is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEYmGnK4K9g I'm still debating with myself whether I like Antonio Romero or Tommy Wonder's routine the absolute best. KG |

Over this fourth of July weekend it was my privilege to do my cups and balls routine as a walk around effect. This is was performing outside over a very hot and humid weekend. I had a magician at one of the tables say that they liked my cups and balls routine. I said thanks - it is commercial. It reminded me of a conversation I had about the cups and balls with Jim Ryan. In this conversation it was a discussion about how important it is that a performing magician keep it and their other routines commercial. To me - loading from the lap and having to sit down to be able to do the cups and balls - to me it was never a practical way to do it. Being able to do a cups and balls routine with loads under the hot and humid performing conditions of being outside to me is the acid test of what a good cups and balls routine really can be. I hope this helps. |

Glenn, I know there's video of you at the castle doing your routine. Would you consider putting a link to it, up here? I think you handle the final loads far better than most. KG |

I don't remember Harry Anderson doing a cups and balls routine on a TV special however I do remember him doing the shellgame - I would have liked to see Harry Anderson do the cups and balls - because Harry Anderson is a great performer and what he does is commercial. Perhaps if there is video on line somewhere someone may provide a link. Thanks in advance. |

Glenn, Would you post a link to your routine? Thanks in advance. KG |

Hi James, I don't think it was mentioned Daryl's one cup routine (a mug and borrowed bill) and Marc DeSouza routine (3 cups, Vernonessque in style). I don't know if they're in print but You can see Daryl's in vol. one of his Fooler Dooler sereies and Marc's in vol. 4 of Master Works series. Also I would add Mendoza's Chop cup. Ciao. |

Here you go Kent... http://www.mrhypnotist.org/video/glennbishopcastle.wmv And here is a link to my commercial shellgame routine. http://www.mrhypnotist.org/video/shellgameglennbishops.wmv And here is a link to my commercial 3 card monte routine. http://www.mrhypnotist.org/video/glennbishop3monte.wmv Why do I do these things the way that I do them? Because they are commercial, solid - and stood the test of time - and the hardest performing conditions that there are out on the road in today’s show business world. That is the reason I use things like the punch cull because it works under the hard - real life performing conditions - like my triumph shuffle techniques - because it is commercial. There are some books on theory in magic but almost none on being commercial. Maybe I should write a book on the theory of being commercial. I hope this helps. |

Thanks Lawrence O When I started to do the cups and balls I started with an Adams plastic set. Then later on I used the sets we had at the old Marshall Brodien Magic Shop that was at Old Chicago Amusement Park - They were the old rings and things sets. My first set was a set of stainless steel rings and things cups. The first working routine I used was the Jim Ryan routine. Later On I did the Dai Vernon routine. To many magicians in Chicago did the Dai Vernon routine in the restaurants in Chicago in those days - so I took a few ideas from Jim Ryan and the Vernon routine and added a few of my own ideas and this was the start of this routine. After doing it a few years - I cut it down and changed it - kept in the highlights and the routine evolved into what I do today. The way that I was schooled in magic - was that the public has only time to watch the highlights. That is why my cups and balls - shellgame - chop dice cup - and three card monte routines - have shortened over the years. Just one of those things I learned - the way I was schooled in magic - growing up - and keeping my magic commercial I hope this helps. |
|
||
|
Glenn: Mike Brazill did not (to my knowledgel) issue any stainless steel cups when he had Rings and Things. However, he did issue some chrome plated steel cups, which were the ones that were known as the Bells of St. Mary's. The plating on the was so good that they never tarnished. They were probably the best cups made during that time, including the Paul Fox cups. Just a point of information. |
|
||
|
Thanks Bill for the history. I was told when I got them that they were stainless steel. However learning from your post - they could not have been. They must have been the chrome plated steel cups then. Thanks for the info Bill. |

My collection of routines is way too long to be listed here. I added a three cups routine using metallic balls with a script about the Inquisition burning C&Bs performers. On the chop cup front I also committed a routine dealing with the traditional tea ceremony. Both are heavily influenced with the In Transit Actions misdirection concept developed by Arturo Ascanio. For safe keeping, these were entrusted to Bill Palmer.
