The true value of Devils Cups are not the cups, the case, or the dice. It is the system employed to
accomplish the final outcome of success.
Someone mentioned in a different review "... deceptive
and dishonest demos I’ve seen. The spectator absolutely does NOT shuffle the cups freely or
secretly..."
According to the ad:
No electronics.
No question asked.
The participant
can freely hide the die under any of the cups.
The participant freely and secretly shuffles the
cups as much as he wants.
Simple and foolproof method.
You can also use any small object
instead of the die.
If one compares the demo video of 4 cups to those words, I can perhaps
understand where the reviewer is standing, but only half correct... The performers back is turned
while the object is hidden, the cups are moved around as directed (please remember, this is a system
and not real), the object was secretly and freely hidden.
There is a routine taught, using 3
cups which allows the spectator to mix the cups freely.
The Devil's Cups system is not
limited to just using the supplied props but offers the performer a method for other routines...
Perhaps a bank night, maybe a chair test...
The true value with Devils Cups IS the
secret... allowing uses for other presentation capabilities.
