I bought these many, many years ago in the magic shop I worked at. They were my first "real" set
after the well known aluminum set many of us buy. They are not plated, they are fully copper. One
thing to note is that the balls included are the best of all crocheted balls I've seen in a set. A
downside is three don't easily fit on top of a cup. Often two don't, either. These cups are very
tall and narrow (They easily fit inside a Legend Cup & Ball set, if not for the half inch or so
height difference). This may be a positive attribute, as they're easy to handle and make certain
moves much easier. The downside is they don't accommodate a large final load. A tennis ball won't
fit, for example. (I use sponge balls, so this was not a major issue for me, as the ones I use fit
perfect).
The quality is excellent for the price and they will last for many, many years as
they have for me in countless shows.
While I've purchased other sets, these still have a place
in many of my performances.
If you're looking at purchasing a quality set of cups & balls, you
can't go wrong with them.
