This is how a magic product should look like.
This is a prop and not a routine that you're
buying. Like a coin pail, an eggbag, etc.
I'm astonished with the quality and presentation
of the product.
There is a routine but it is a basic routine IMHO.

This set of props is made very will. The cup is elegant and beautifull. The dice work exactly as
they are said to work. The routine is good but basic. But you can build your own routine of
course. The black and the jumbo red die look incredible. Real eyepoppers when they end up under
the cup. For the price you are getting a TON of stuff and not just any old stuff, quality stuff.
Can't really say anything bad for this set. I especially love David Forrest for what he did with
this effect. He actually let's you go to his site and download the explination video free before
you even buy it. He shows you all the props, how they work, and goes through the entire routine.
And all this before you spend a dime. I wish all magicians were this open and honest. With all the
shoddy demos with camera cut aways and terrible products. It's nice to see a magician that gets it.
A magician that gives to the magic community before he takes. Bravo David. Bravo!!!

I hate to spew too much praise on this product, or Mr Forrest, but giving credit where it is so
richly deserved dictates that I must!
I find no fault whatsoever with the props, in fact, I
found the extreme opposite! Great workmanship, design and planning! Then the review of his DVD left
nothing out, his manner of teaching, with proper angles and repetition . . . I wish all DVDs were
put together this well.
Lastly, the cost: I shopped. I researched and wound up here at
Penguin where I get >95% of my things. Their staff continues to hold the bar high. Top it up with
some communication with David who also knows customer service!

This is really great.
I always enjoyed very much chop cups and all types of cup
tricks. This is so a great idea combining the ordinary items of dice with cup routine. It has
beautiful and natural looking props with real surprises. THere is a lot of room to develop your own
routine a=or watch his instructions.
I think anyone who enjoys cup type routines and or chop
cups will really be happy and enjoy this one!

Nice props if you're an expert an chop cup routines. But if you need any instructions or any form of
tutorial, there aren't any. You're pretty much on your own.
Not sure what all the hype was about this chop cup. The routine is weakly constructed and corny. The
Leather cup is lined with flocked paper (which is glued in, not stitched), the jumbo load is noisy.
The cup is NOT flexible, so you can't hold out a large die or other final load. So, all in all, very
disappointing.
