Overview

Magicians from all over the world fascinate their audiences with routines -- using just a cup and a ball. Chop Cups come in all sorts of sizes and materials, but usually they look like magic props. Now, from the creative mind of one of Holland's most prolific magic artists, Leo Smetsers, comes a cup so innocent-looking your audience will believe you picked it up on your way to the show!

In your pack, you will receive a completely innocent and normal-looking cardboard coffee-cup (the type typically used for takeout coffee) but it is not as innocent as you would think. Even more important, it's not as innocent as your spectators think it is!

With this special Coffee Cup Chop Cup, you can perform all classic Chop Cup routines and make them look more magical than ever.

Magic with innocent-looking and everyday objects is the strongest magic you can do. Well, here is your chance to perform one of the most intriguing effects in magic with the most innocent and unsuspicious prop you could ever wish for!

Leo Smetsers' Coffee Cup Chop Cup comes in a nice box to protect it during transport. You also receive two spare Coffee Chop Cups and two wonderful balls (one of them is loaded with a magnet), so you can start preforming this amazing effect the moment you open the box!

Leo Smetsers' Coffee Cup Chop Cup is a must for the working magician!!! Suitable for adults as well as kids, from table-hopping to stage!
