That's OK, Jonathan, my routine with yurts and Mongolians is different enough.
Jeff P.S. The final load is a steaming serving of Mongolian BBQ! |

In the end, it was another routine that was better as an idea. MM

Have you considered using the production of the balls as an opener? A modified David Roth's Three Ball Routine works for me and a reversing of the old Salt Shaker through the table trick to produce the cups under the premise of being unprepared can really grab attention. Also those little nesting Russian dolls can be lots of fun as a final load, especially when the last doll holds something special or related to another part of the big picture. P.S. Clear glasses with double sided mirrors inside could hold a lot of possibilities if properly handled.

MinnesotaChef had a great idea! Especially for table hopping. Vanish a salt shaker then go straight into the cups and balls and for the final load reappear the salt shaker and say, "Thought you might need this when your food comes"

Are there cups around where you can actually load the salt, the pepper, and the sweetener dispensers?
...to all the coins I've dropped here

Cups?
If you were hiding the sweetener dispenser I think you'd need a champaign or ice bucket. Perhaps buckets and bowling balls with a duck for a final load.<g> MM

Speaking of the Penn and Teller routine.... their expose was just that. But it was done in a way that was quick and confusing... yet entertaining. I personally liked it. They performed it regular and then did it with clear cups and exposed it and went at like 5x speed. At the end you were still left wondering how did they do that even though you saw it right there. Definitley out of the box...

I'm not saying Reed knocked it off from Milt. I saw the same basic idea in a routine in an issue of The Linking Ring from 1956, when I was doing some research this afternoon on the Chop cup. Reed's misdirection is the key here, and the rest of it is fairly sketchy. It lies in the positions of the hands. Quote:
