Here's a funny consideration about the small chop cup fitting inside a larger. Without spoiling anything, my smaller cup is compelled to evacuate when placed inside the larger cup. Something to take into consideration as that particular placement is gonna be totally random upon construction of the gimmick.

I own the same leather cup, brown version, and luckily my original ball is good enough. I also own the small ickle pickle cup, but I never thought of combining the two cups - that's a nice idea, so thanks a lot! And I own the large ickle pickle cup which is big enough to hold a full size 7.5 cm baseball. I found some very cheap ones with nothing printed on them that look exactly like the Smetsers balls, but the size difference is really baffling. As a gag I use a ball pump to pretend to very quickly pump up the small ball through the cup.

Nice vid. Very informative. I have a set of those Legend copper cups I bought from you. I just realized that I would happily have paid an extra upcharge for one, or better yet all three of those cups to be gimmicked like this. The complexities of Cups and Balls routines exponentially higher number of routines I could do would offset almost any additional cost.

Awesome Routine. Hello Don. I guess First…Are you still there ? I’m a New subscriber (I’m Kevin, the Wheelchair M.P.) as well as a 100% Disabled Vet. (Army). I felt Magic would be a way to meet people, maybe even a woman who sees me and not my wheelchair. I’ve jumped into magic rather quickly…I’ve purchased about $2,000 in tricks and books (I haven’t even opened nor tried a trick yet. Being in a wheelchair I can’t use my pockets so I’m hoping to “Tweak” the tricks so I can still do it effectively.
