A clever combination of the Chop Cup and Slot Okito Box that allows you to perform both a traditional chop cup style routine and a variety of different coin tricks using a regular half dollar coin.
The "Cupcake" is a perfectly-sized portable plastic cup that is super easy to use and can be added to a variety a different routines. It's the perfect tool for close up magicians and table hopping magicians.
Imagine this, you make coins disappear, reappear and bounce from hand to hand. Then as you show the coin was supposed to go through the cup, it transforms into crochet balls. Seamlessly, you then transition into your single cup and ball routine.
This ability to effortlessly change between coin magic and cups and balls allows a more streamlined experience for your audience. Everything feelings much more natural and is incredible to watch.

NOTE: You must supply your own half dollar
I was so excited when I saw the preview video that I immediately placed an order... the idea of combing a chop cup that can also do same effect with regular coins is great, but...I tried US quarter and US walking liberties and kennedy half dollars - both soft and regular coins - and NOTHING stays in the gimmick. I have to turn the cup up side down soooooo slow that you'd think you are watching a frame by frame movie. The smallest, and I mean SMALLEST movement or velocity will dislodge the coins thus destroying the effect.Would love to return it but unfortunately I disposed of all packaging due to my excitement when the package arrived... lesson learnt. Try gimmick before destroying return package!
Doesn't hold the coins as advertised and the instructions are all visual, so no auditory instructions on what to do. The magnets are too strong too. Disappointed.
So disappointed in the coin part of the cup. Like another reviewer said, it's almost impossible to turn the cup over without dislodging the coin. I won't be returning it, though, since I can use it as a portable chop cup, and use it with another routine that needs a small cup or glass.
