Cups and Balls – Apprentice Magic

Discover one of the oldest and most famous classics in the history of magic: Cups and Balls.

This timeless routine has been performed by generations of magicians around the world. The basic ingredients couldn't be simpler: three cups and three balls. Yet the number of magical possibilities is almost unlimited.

With this version from the Apprentice Line of Magic, you can learn this legendary effect in an accessible and beginner-friendly way.

The Effect

You display three solid cups and three balls.

Everything appears completely ordinary.

Then the magic begins.

One by one, the balls seem to magically pass straight through the solid cups.

A ball vanishes, appears underneath a cup, and can then travel again to another impossible location.

Using only three cups and three balls, you can create a huge variety of magical moments.

That's what makes Cups and Balls much more than a single trick. It is a complete foundation for building different routines, presentations, and magical sequences.

The Cups and Balls is often regarded as one of the oldest effects in the history of conjuring.
