Flashcards
0/15
Cup Shuffle
Move the cups around after placing a ball under one, and challenge the audience to guess the right cup.
Flamboyant Show of Hands
Display your hands empty in a dramatic way before starting the trick to preemptively dispel suspicions of sleight of hand.
Cup Rotation
Rotate a cup upside down while a ball is on top, showing it does not stick.
Magic Wand Vanish
Make the magic wand vanish using sleeving or a topit.
Load Balls Under Cups
Secretly introduce a new ball under a cup while pretending to just show it empty.
The French Drop
Hold a ball between your fingers and thumb. Pretend to take it with the other hand, but actually let it drop into your palm.
Cup Through Ball
Make it seem like the cup goes through a ball sitting on top of it.
Penetration Effect
Show that a ball magically penetrates through the bottom of the cup.
The Big Finish
End with a surprising element such as a large ball or different object under a cup.
Wand Vanish
Use a magic wand to tap a ball. Cover the ball briefly with the wand, and then lift both. The ball remains in your hand, hidden, while the wand shows no ball.
Audience Participation
Bring a member of the audience to assist in the routine, such as lifting a cup or holding an object.
Multiple Ball Reveal
Lift a cup to reveal more balls than previously shown.
False Transfer
Pretend to place a ball in your other hand, but retain it in the original hand.
Stacking the Cups
Stack one cup on top of another as part of the routine, often to show nothing in between or to conceal a move.
Classic Palm
Hold the ball secretly in your hand using the natural curl of your fingers to keep the ball in place without being seen.
