Actually, the Magic Café played a major role in helping me acquire some of the nicer pieces. For example, I put out the word that I needed a set of Paul Fox Chick Cups. Within a month, one of the Café members sent me a PM that a set was on eBay. Those cups are now in the Museum.

These are very hard to come by, but because of several very unselfish people, I have been able to put together what you see on line. Next week, I will probably photograph the Magic Set and other plastic cups. I think some of these sets will strike a nostalgic chord among members of this forum.

For example, there is a set from a "Sneaky Pete Magic Show" set. And there is a set of bakelite cups by Adams.

I also owe a great deal of thanks to some of our used magic dealers, Kenna Thompson, Ron Allessi, and to Paul Gross, who helped me acquire some nice pieces.

Joe Stevens has been a big help, and so has Pete Biro.
