Can't remember where I saw it so looking for some guidance. Does anyone know where some nice cups and balls routines are that use the plastic props found in children's' magic sets?

Check out David Regal's Cups and Balls Routine. It's BEAUTIFUL!

Is it fitting for the small cups that come in a child’s magic set?

Yes, BUT to be clear...........the small cups are a part of a routine that uses regular size cups. Having said tat, David Regal's routine is, I think, a thing of beauty!

The routine is called "The Cups and Balls and Cups and Balls" and can be found on one of David's L&L dvds. Here is a performance video:

My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

Mike Skinner's routine is in the November 2000 issue of Genii. You can find this on Ebay.

Sounds like you've got what you need. You might also be interested in Al Schneider's "Quick Cups and Balls," which begins the DVD Al Schneider Technique v. 1. It uses the same Adams set (plastic red, blue, and yellow). It's less exotic than Regal's routine, but nice.

I remember seeing a Bill Malone routine on YouTube. It was apparently from one of his DVD sets.

Alan is correct about Bill Malone. Bill's routine is called "Rub a dub". A fun twist using cups and balls.
