Beginner Cups and Balls Sequences: Penetrate, Vanish, Transition \ Magic Tutorial

This is an introduction to some basic cups and balls sequences. We'll cover the basic penetration sequence, Bosco's Triple Vanish and a 3 ball transition. You'll learn basic palming and a simple ball vanish to use with the cups.
As mentioned in the video, we highly recommend study of the Dai Vernon routine (and or the material Mike Ammar teaches) for further learning with the cups and balls.

I couldn’t love this video any more. I’ve spent years studying card magic but have been wary of cups / balls / rope tricks. I was able to perform this after a days practice for friends and get a great response. Perfectly taught, just what I needed.

[@DougConn]

Heck yeah! Tnx for this feedback!

[@daveeberhart3766]

Absolutely PERFECT - not too much, not too fast - JUST RIGHT. Hey, you're like the Goldilocks of magic instructors! Only your demeanor and your words make you so much more than an instructor. THANK YOU, Doug! -Dave in Minnesota

I just wandered over here from the magic guys patreon. Very nice video. Think I'll stick around and have a look through the back catalogue.

[@DougConn]

Oh hey cool! Kick back & stay awhile!

[@krismyth]

I bought a set of cups from you several years ago and got through two sequences, then fell out for some reason, resting on my one cup routine. No chop, but chops... Sort of ironic that it was you who made me pick up the other two again today...could be magic.

[@jeffallyear]

love this!

[@shawnmcdowell5477]

Great lesson for this classic trick. I first learned this from Mark Wilson's magic book and I found a few other booklets on the cups and balls.

[@DougConn]

Oh yea, the Mark Wilson course has a great section! Totally forgot to mention that!

[@Allanhorns]

Concerning this trick (I understand it's an older video, but I wanted my question to be organized to the proper subject) I have the aluminum cups and red balls. I've noticed the inside of my cups have a glare, showing red and could indicate a ball being inside when mouth up. I am considering painting them with a copper color metal paint both inside and out. Would this be a good idea? Considering that copper doesn't show red. Or should I paint the inside black, or maybe just use white balls? I'm tossing these ideas around in my head to get over this show/give. And maybe a more seasoned practitioner could lend some advice. Thanks in advance. 😊

[@loganglynn2569]

This should never get any dislikes as there is no reason to

[@DougConn]

Some magi don’t like my teachings... haters gonna hate

[@pjgonzalez40]

I saw this trick being performed by Paul Gerther ( I think that is his name) on Penn and Teller fool us. I decided to try and learn it then I discovered the chop cup. I have added D 20 dice to my routine.

[@pjgonzalez40]

If I perform I tell people I am not a magician but a person of science. I also like incorporating comedy. I have focused more on the chop cup. Been a while since I have practice the cups and balls. The D20 dice is one used by players of Dungeons and Dragons a fantasy role playing game.

[@GoodSoup240]

How are the d20s? I feel like they would clank around in the cups more than the regular balls

[@pjgonzalez40]

@@GoodSoup240 they do clank. But a gigantic one not a lot. They do work ok.

[@GoodSoup240]

@@pjgonzalez40 sadly my giant d 20 is too big for my cups. That was the first thing I checked after I saw your original comment
