I am looking for a good source to learn a good routine for cups and balls. Can anyone recommend something?

Vernon's routine in the Dai Vernon Book of Magic is a classic. There is a pretty simple routine in Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic. And of course there is Ammar's book The Complete Cups and Balls where he discusses his own routine as well as a couple of others and teaches just about all of the cups moves needed for any routine. There are also 3 DVD's that are put out by L&L Publishing in the World's Greatest Magic series focused on the cups and balls and a variety of routines are taugh there.
I am looking to buy Pressley Guitar items in good condition. Send me a PM for details.

John Mendoza My best DVD2 has 2 routines (Vernon and nelson) with regular cups and DVD 1 has the Mendoza routine for combo cups.
I like John's routine better than Vernon's but maybe is because I like the way Mendoza teaches the routine. |

I would say the Ammar DVD's are where to start... Two volume set, and I personally love the vernon routine. It is like the standard routine which most performs use as a baseline...
Best of luck. Shawn

Learn the Vernon routine with this booklet:
https://midwestmagic.net/shop/item.asp?itemid=8809 BTW they have an assortment of books on the C&Bs. I also recommend the Ammar DVDs. Cardamagically, Dom

I would recommend the Michael Ammar DVD's. They will teach you a lot about the cups and balls, and you will be able to go back to them from time to time. They also have a video of Vernon doing the routine.

That's the funniest thing I have seen in a long time.
After much soul searching about a signature, I decided not to have one.
