Lol. Love these. Almost wish they could always face forward though. Not really possible.


It might not be possible with those ones, but it is possible to make them that way. The inner ball is just a decorated sphere with a permanent top side (air pocket in the topside forces it to float in an unchanging configuration). In this case the sphere is decorated so that the pupil is on the topside, but you could paint the pupil on any side you want.


Yeah, although that would make the eye alway facing out, it wouldn't guarantee facing forward all the time. For the reveal, it would be most effective if the eyes were guaranteed to be facing the audience. Oh well.

OK I am on the look out for whole Walnuts and an eyeball. While searching found Bouncy balls that are just big enough for my cup. The best part is the kinda "stick" so I can final load and put the cup down slower showing its empty with out saying anything, then lift and boom theirs a ball almost as big as the cup, while they inspect that BOOM theirs another one under their.

Jut discovered something working with the RNT2 mini FOXY cups that Andrew Zuber just got. Using the "chopped" one, you can plop it onto the BACK of a spectator's hand. That side of the hand is less sensitive and they don't feel the ball. Now, when you lift the cup the ball will roll off their hand giving you GREAT MISDIRECTION to slip in a final load.

BTW, great cups, Donnie.

Fakini golf balls are great for this. A bit pricey, but they make no noise and look very good.

Ferrero Rocher Chocolats for a classy ending whit the Riser/Loomis micro chop cup or RNT "la petite". I produce three of them in a row, standing up and without going to the pockets but the standard double production is fine. Of course I give them away.

Actually, it is the double load that gets the reactions, IMHO. The Schneider mini Chop cup routine used the black racket balls or hand balls, can't remember which, but they are not that expensive and fit in the cups perfectly.

I just picked up some whole walnuts, I am not to impressed and may stick with my large rubber balls. The walnuts are very "loud" to load.
