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.

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)
I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I only lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three. Elayne Boosler

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.

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using two, Roth's chop cup routine from his lecture and also something with an egg cup which is Geoff Latta's and unpublished as far as I know.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.

The Hofzinser routine is in Dick Hatch's translation, as well as in a Karl Fulves publication.
