About the cups
The cups are made of superior brass, firm and durable with a good antioxidant effect. This allows you to use them for a long time.
As we know, the weight is the most important part for cups and balls. We conducted numerous tests to find a near-perfect weight that is easy to manipulate and feel weighty. We think you'll be very happy with the result. Each cup is about 0.258KG.
The classic look has a retro style. The surface of these cups has been bronzed and covered with white wax.
About the balls
These balls have been fully hand knitted with yarn. The solid wood ball inside each provides the appropriately moderate weight for manipulation. The red balls also fit these classic cups perfectly.
Flannelette bags
Almost all magicians have been attracted to Tommy Wonder's 3 CUPS AND BALLS ROUTINES, especially the misdirection of the flannelette bags. The Artistic Cups and Balls also contains a bag that is made by special, small flannelette fabric. You will like the design of the cup-shaped pendant.
The packaging
The opening of the box is similar to the opening of an iPhone. Exquisite packaging for both collection and display.

The product and the quality
Already when we receive them, we feel the quality, as usual with TCC (on this type of product in any case), the products are packaged like Iphones, pretty little white box, and inside a pretty bag in blue velvet. The cups are of good quality, the chop cup does the job and is completely invisible in the middle of the others (so you have to remember its sequence because there is no way to distinguish it).
As for the cups themselves, they have a very well finished vintage look that I prefer to the polished look of some cups (less fingerprints) and the first thing that struck me was that they are heavy (365g per cup), they hold well in hand.
At the waist they are neither too big nor too small (75mm high for 79mm wide)
In terms of techniques, of course they are all possible with these cups (even decapitation is quite simple whereas it was a hassle on my old set).
The set comes with 4 red balls, one of which is magnetic, classic but normal for this type of product.
The set is available for $250 on their site, and honestly that's more than reasonable for the build quality.
The +
- Manufacturing quality
- They are solid
- The vintage look
- The price
- The invisibility of the chop cup
- The possibility of buying the chop cup individually as well as the solid cup.
THE -
- The invisibility of the chop cup (and yes what is an advantage can be a disadvantage)
- The set does not come with final charges
- The set is delivered without explanations and is therefore intended for people who already have a mastery of cups
- A bit noisy on final charge (I use billiard balls)
For me, it's a very good product, I hesitated for a long time before taking them, but in the end, I don't regret my investment at all.
