Years ago, Al Wheatley created a wonderful version of the Cups & Balls, using only one cup and one ball. The Chop Cup has since become a classic of magic. Of all the performers using this effect, Don Alan has had the greatest impact (he's done it on every major TV show you could name). This cup was designed by Don himself, and it's a beauty. It is a large aluminum cup, to take a big load. It features an improved grip, and a bright, chip-proof finish. The routine has a little crocheted ball magically jumping from your pocket to under the cup, then back again, and so forth -- until in the end it changes into not one but two large rubber balls or apples, etc.. Marvelous entertainment.
