Aluminum Chop Cup – A timeless close-up classic
Some tricks come and go… but true classics never disappear.
The Chop Cup is one of those legendary close-up effects that continues to amaze audiences thanks to its perfect mix of simplicity, rhythm and impossible magic.
This version includes a polished aluminum cup, two balls ready to perform and, as an added bonus, a practical 22 cm circular close-up mat, making it an excellent complete set for both practice and live performances.
The effect is direct and highly entertaining:
a small ball repeatedly appears, vanishes, travels to the magician’s pocket and mysteriously returns beneath the cup. Just when the audience thinks they understand the routine… the final surprise arrives:
the ball transforms into an impossible final load such as a lemon, a large ball or any object you choose.
A visual, dynamic routine with endless presentation possibilities.
Thanks to the Chop Cup system, you can focus on performance and interaction rather than difficult sleight of hand.
It’s perfect for beginners discovering classic magic as well as professionals looking for a compact and powerful routine.
