Hope this is a good thread to ask this question! Hey Guys, Can anyone tell me in what year Johnson Magic Products first Manufactured and began selling their Cups and Balls Sets? I purchased my set at a Magic Convention for $200., I thought in the 80’s, but despite searches online, I’ve been unable to discover the date. Can anyone provide this information? :cups

Closer to 2000.

I think mid 90’s

I thought it was mid 90's too. I only remember because around '95 I was frequenting a new magic shop I had discovered (closed now for awhile), and remember coming in one week and the owner all excited about the cups.

Andy Martin, whose usually receives props and posts them to his online magic collection in a timely fashion, shows his description with a copyright of 2001:

Live Auctioneers (scroll to bottom of this link), show 1998 as their origin date: https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/113......cadia-ca

You can always visit the close up area where there are a ton of cups and balls practitioners and collectors. They should have an exact year for you.
