Well Stephane (with an accented e) Bourgoin has created some peice here. Calling it commercial is an understatement. If catches the eye, uses farmiliar items, and is a good prop. However the real quality here is in the directions. This isn't an 8 by 11 sheet of badly printed instructions, 8 page color instruction with lots of ideas. Now about the actual cup...
Quality: Well lets say this it is pretty flimsy, you can perform with it but you have to be carefull withs torage and the US Open tag comes off easily. The tennis balls are good, some complain that the chop doesn't stick well but I've had no problems. This routine has a lot of potential, the props are generally of good quality if you treat them well. I am very happy with this "practical" chop cup. Everyone loves the mini tennis balls and I get better reactions with the tennis ball final loads than with lemons in a cups and balls routine. The size of the cup and regularity get "Holly S..T" Reactions. I am very happy with this routine I give it an 8 out of ten, for a good routine, however a very delicate cup. For such a low price it is great and well worth it. |

I got this routine and was very excited about it, but disappointed with the quality of the "cup." The interior paint on mine is flaking off--it was doing so right out of the package. The flecks come off on the balls and enough has come off that there are spots where you can see into the cup--a bad thing for a chop cup!
I recommend the routine with the reservation that the props could be improved. If they manufacture a better "cup" that will be more durable and the paint won't flake, I'll give it my highest recommendation.

I agree with Scott. I think they should take a regular tennis can, and make a mold out of it to make a black plastic cup with the interior of the cup flat. If they accomplish this, defenetly this will be a great product. Using regular cans and painting them, and having to deal with the uneven interior, and the fragility of the cup is what makes this trick unreliable to my opinion.

Is this the same with the Pool table one and Dice one?
