Magic Tricks

I would suggest that if you are really serious about being a Magician that you save some money and buy a good set of Cups and Balls. The best Cup and Ball set for the money is Penguin Magic’s Penguin Cups. The Penguin Cups set is almost perfect. Penguin Cups are the finest set of Cups and Balls that Penguin Magic offers. They're under a hundred dollars and are not really that expensive like some Cup and Ball sets are. They are made out of solid copper and will last you a life time.

If you do not want to spend that kind of money right now on a set of Cups and Balls then your next best choice would be Penguin Magic’s Aluminum Cups and Balls. These are a really nice set of aluminum Cups and Balls and they are nicely balanced. This is what I bought and this is what I use. I’m happy with them and someday I will probably purchase the Penguin Cups but for now, I’m using Penguin Magic’s Aluminum Cup and Ball set. They are a great beginner Cup and Ball set for the money.

Ignore the negative reviews about Penguin Magic’s Aluminum Cup and Ball set. This set is the correct size, the right weight and they are nicely balanced. Don’t worry about your spectators seeing the reflection of your red ball on the inside of the aluminum cup. The Aluminum used in this Cup and Ball set is not very shiny but nice dull finish. Also remember that correct handling of the cups and practicing of the routine will take care of any reflection on the inside of the aluminum cup. I’ve seen photographs of many famous Magicians, like Dai Vernon, using some non-copper reflective shiny metal Cup and Ball sets. The Magician makes the magic not the props.

I would highly recommend that you purchase Penguin Magic’s Aluminum Cup and Ball set and learn this great “Classic” magic effect. The Cups and Balls routine is popular for a reason and it packs small but plays big.
