Made famous by the late great Paul Daniels, the Chop Cup is a wonder to watch due to its elegance and simplicity. Here at Vanishing Inc we're pleased to be able to offer you this high quality copper version, perfect for both the beginner and expert Chop Cup enthusiast.
The cousin of the standard Cups and Balls, Chop Cup routines are performed with just one cup, and the mechanical construction of the cup allows you to perform varied effects, visual penetrations, productions and vanishes of a ball from under the cup in a simpler yet very effective way.
The gimmicked cup has a magnet inside and when a magnetic ball is used, the ball will stick inside to the top until the cup is set down with a little bump to the table, which releases the ball. Used to show no ball beneath the cup, with a magical appearance of the ball at will when the cup is lifted after the 'bump'.
Package includes:
The cup itself is so so. The paint job is ok but bubbles a bit in certain places. The balls are nice. They are a bit smaller than the typical size but that does not bother too much. I could live with this chop cup. BUT the problem is (and thus the 2 stars) is the magnet is just way to weak, and does not work with any consistency. I did try and experiment with it for a few hours and a few other balls but there is just no way for this to work without handling the cup with extreme sensitivity. What a pity. Rather spend a bit more and get the TCC cup which is awesome! I wanted to get a nice copper chop cup but this it not it!
