Hi.
I've been thinking about getting the classic cups and balls equipment and start mastering it... A couple of weeks ago, I read about Jay Sankey's "pocket-version" of the classic trick. Has anyone tested it? Can it compete against the classic effect? I will not perform on stage with this, it is for party-strolling and street performance only. Best regards, Marius Haugan NORWAY.

Yeah, I've seen the video. I kinda went ahead of myself on the post here, cause I just did a search on it here on the cafè and found all the info I needed.
Sorry! Btw Niko, er du norsk?

Avoid it. Just get cups and balls and avoid Sankey at all costs.

I got it and have placed it in a prime spot in a drawer. It may have potential, but so far for me NOT.

It may be because he puts out an unoriginal trick every week. Or maybe because you can't stand his performance style? That is some of my own reasons.

For me, it's the former.

I'm thinking he's talking about his recent material, which seems like a rehash of all his old material.

I know someone who has one, and it's ok...but IMHO it doesn't stack up next to the a cups and balls.
However it does fit in your pocket, yada, yada, yada. It's chopped which may open up some options. The workmanship on the one I saw was lacking. It was cut a little crooked and when you pushed it together it didn't form a straight line. Most people probably wouldn't notice, but seems to be the case with several things that Penguin Magic are selling now. I'll not rehash my "Penguin Cups" story as I've already been through it here before. sd |
