Magic cup
For many aspiring magicians, the magic cup and balls trick
is the first illusion they learn. The trick involves three cups and
balls, which move around unseen by the audience.
Although there are many steps to mastering this illusion, there are
many instructional videos online. There are also many variations to
the magic cup and balls trick; everyone from street magicians to the
famous Penn & Teller has their own take on this illusion.
The magic cup and balls trick can be found at any novelty shop or from
internet retailers. The advantage of buying from a local shop is that
there will be someone there to show how the trick is done. Otherwise,
you’ll have to rely on written instructions which can be hard
to follow.
