Background

The Cups and Balls is one of the most timeless of all magic effects. For over two thousand years, it has been one of the effects used by magicians and street performers to mesmerize audiences and to demonstrate their skills.

Since 2017, the TCC PRESENTS Artistic Cups and Balls set has gone through two generations of updates. The exquisite workmanship is not only loved by our friends in magic but even lay audiences will be attracted by their appearance.

Nevertheless, Magic is always improving and innovating, and more and more of our friends in magic are also eager to see more aspects of our cups. But how else can you present the cups and balls?

The number of existing publications and materials available on the subject of the cups and balls are incalculable. So, why don't we go back to the prop itself? With this idea in mind, and after six months of development, we finally present to you today, the all-new TCC PRESENTS Mini Cups and Balls.

Routine and Effect

Apart from thinking that it looks cute, the first thought most will have is, how does one perform the Mini Cups and Balls?

In fact, you can perform a variety of moves with the Mini Cups and Balls. Vanishes, transpositions, transformations, and so on. Most of what can be achieved by regular-sized cups can be done by the mini cups. You could perform one-handed if you wished, or perform a 3 shell game routine.

For casual close-up performances or even smaller sidewalk shows, the mini cups and balls may be a suitable, practical, and portable alternative compared to the traditional cups and balls.

For this, we have even designed a high-integrity storage box that fits all the props you would need to perform the mini cups and ball. Bring the cups and balls effect closer to your reach.

Process and parameters

The TCC PRESENTS Mini Cups and Balls are made from specially selected high-quality brass and professional-grade precision production technology. The surface is fully treated to give an appearance of an antique bronze finish to give it a subdued look, yet further enhances its exquisiteness.

We have redesigned the measurements and proportions of the cups, matching them with red rubber balls and crochet final load balls. The shape, proportions, and color finish gives the illusion that the cups are smaller than they are. Although mini in size, it plays big.

Included with your set is a meticulously crafted vegan leather storage case, that functions both as a storage case and a display case, to display its uniqueness more prominently.

This has gotten more usage than my full size set. With the instructions not in english (but with english subtitles and good camera angles) it didn't take me long at all to learn the one handed moves fit for the transpositions for this set. Though one flourish involving all three cups is tough for me to do with one hand because my fingers don't spread apart as much as the person in the video. But I think you can safely omit that move from the performance if you want, since it seems to just be there to look cool. I do feel slightly bummed out that the finish on the cups wears down a bit on the bottoms after a day of use. But the wear is pretty miniscule anyway. I absolutely love that the cups ring like bells when clinked like glasses. (You can tell I don't have a higher end full size set)

They have a surprisingly good weight to them as well. The included final loads are red crochet balls and the perfect fit for the cups. The small rubber peas are great too, since their material combined with the surface of the cups, inside and out, makes for good friction. This allows most of the effects to be accomplished that I think might've been tougher with tiny crochet balls. I should note that this is probably best done for someone sitting direct opposite of you, or for a camera. I use this specifically for my own enjoyment honestly. Lastly, the case is great too. Sturdy, closed with a magnet and makes a great display case when opened and set on its left side.

I love them, I was paralyzed in 2003 so I don't get out much, I do have friends come over to talk magic share ideas, some bring their dvds others look at mine and we work on ideas. With these they just bring back memoirs of better times, they look good sitting on my shelf, and let me do a basic basic cup and ball routine, where at the end I load one cup way in advance and set it off to the side, then working with just two cups, to make it easier for them to follow, I do two simple ball to pocket ball back under the cup, and finally start the load of the first big ball, when they see it, I could put a truck under the cup for the next load, so i do the send load, then I do a simple french drop and lift the cup that has been setting off to the side. Nothing special for magic folk, but for my grandkids, it is real magic from their pop-pop. like pulling a quarter out of their ear. they love it. The point is you can make it as simple or as fancy as you want, shell moves work to load and unload these cups, and best of all, they look great just sitting there doing nothing but being pretty, and either prices have gone down or I am getting richer... LOL and I know I am not getting richer. But I can't recomend these enough, get yourself some you will love them
