I have owned a lot of Chop Cups over the years and have been performing my Chop Cup routine in
professional shows for over a decade. As far as this version goes, it should have been $20 less for
what you get.
I'll begin by saying the gimmicked ball I received is much larger than the
non-gimmicked balls. Therefore, the first time I performed a routine using this set for someone,
they immediately noticed the size difference and said, "I don't think that's the same ball". This
is obviously not ideal, as I then had to play it off as a growing ball trick instead.
If
you are new to the Chop Cup, you get a collection of simple moves from the tutorial, but you will
not get a routine. I could see this being a deal-breaker for someone less experienced. The cup
itself is a bit flimsy and may crack easily, so be gentle with it or it will surely not last.
Overall, there are much better Chop Cups on the market and though this one has a fun look and
theme to it, I would certainly not purchase it again at this price.
