Magic Tricks

My Chop Cup (Copper)came in today’s mail even earlier than expected .. THANKS PENGUIN MAGIC! The white cardboard box that it was in had a picture of the Chop Cup and two balls on the front. Upon opening the box, I found the cup and balls were safely and adequately secured in packing with written instructions inside. The cup was actually somewhat smaller than I expected (standing 3” tall with a mouth opening of 2.5”) but I was not disappointed because, although just a little smaller than the ‘standard’ size Chop Cups I own and have seen, I know it will work well in my close-up venues. The exterior of the cup has a nice shiny copper look with no flaws. The interior has the expected dull copper look with no ‘splotches’ (which I like). All in all, the cup is very good looking and ‘nice for the price’! The two red crocheted balls look good but I found the gimmicked ball to be weak and it didn’t adhere to the bottom of the cup very well. I substituted two other balls and the substituted gimmicked ball works perfectly. I guess I’m a Chop Cup geek and I own a number of cups made of brass, leather, aluminum, plastic and wood but I didn’t have a copper looking cup. This Premium Magic Chop Cup (Copper)offered by Penguin Magic certainly fills the void and is a welcomed addition to my collection. Don’t let the amazing price fool you. There are certainly more expensive Chop Cups on the market, but this Chop Cup can be proudly used by beginners and professionals alike.
