Table-Hopping Cups and Balls by Scott F. Guinn

Experience a powerful and enchanting routine designed specifically for table-hopping performances. Scott F. Guinn’s creation is not only ideal for close-up magic but also adaptable for various settings, making it a versatile choice for any magician.

The Cups and Balls effect boasts a rich history in magic, yet it has become less common in modern performances, particularly among table-hopping magicians who often struggle with limited pocket space. Scott’s routine addresses this challenge by minimizing the props needed, allowing for a more streamlined performance.

By reducing the number of cups and balls, this routine enhances clarity and audience engagement. It utilizes one standard cup, one chop cup, one regular ball, and one magnetic ball, making it easier for spectators to follow along. This combo cup set is perfect for creating impactful illusions without overwhelming the performer.

Key features of this routine include:

• Performable while standing or seated.
• Can be executed surrounded by an audience.
• No false transfers are involved.
• No sleeving or topiting required.
• Quick and easy reset between performances.

Best of all, this routine delivers a strong magical impact and is not confined to table-hopping settings. Scott has successfully showcased it with full-sized cups in diverse performance environments.

For those who perform in real-world situations, this routine is a must-have addition to your repertoire.

Level: Easy to intermediate

An extremely valuable contribution to cups and balls literature. Attainable by the amateur in terms of difficulty, and simultaneously Feng Shui in terms of structural and logistical integrity. There are no rough spots. Its value far outweighs its cost. – Ron Giesecke

The cups and balls by Scott is fantastic. For me, it is the most practical cups and balls routine. Two cups, a ball, a wand, no difficult moves, and plenty of surprises. – Chappelly
