I can see Mandrake as a more Saville kind of guy.

Now then now then guys and gals, guys and gals

If you'd posted that 2 minutes earlier it would have been amazing !

Oooh bu**er

Although I was doing it at the same time as you typing it.

Maybe I should be a psychic

I knew you'd say that..... And for the record. J Saville Esq has far more hair that I have, I'm more of the Jay Sankey, ID, Yul Brynner style .

All pointers for the chop cup should come from Mr Greedo. I ve seen his chop cup routine and it blew me away.

Every one says the Daniels routine is amazing and the best. It dosent hold a candle to greedo's. Hopefully he will perform it again when i next see him

Damn it I'm not aloud to swear am I?

My chop cup is the shizzlest and you know it 'Dini. the only problem is that it can only be performed after 8 pints

Your Jigga routine is rather good by the way speaking of chop cups. Chop Cups shall be the next Dini Greedo challange.

Never ever had the ball appear trouble with CC but did with the salt shaker version. I found a round,thin piece of card gummed over IT, did the trick.
Always carry your mat( if it works on this) or preferably a small square of plywood( flock covered) as a base. Don't trust just any old surface to work on.
Had to use the same idea but with aluminium with Confabulation which also needs a firm surface to work effectively

Cards 4 magic do a nice Little book on the chop cup for £3 or so I have it kicking around some where on the other,

Excellent advice, thanks Allen!

I've got a CD covered in rubber then green felt somewhere, I'll dig that out and give it a go!

Hi Carlow

I also use the Morrisey and experienced a similar problem until I got used to it. Two things to consider and the first regarding the 'flick'

when putting the cup down to make the magic happen, I don't put the cup down flat but instead, just hit the edge of the cup on the mat first by a fraction of a second before laying it flat. Hopefully you will know what I mean.

Secondly, use a larger size ball which you should find releases easier

If this makes any sense to you.....I have found that ensuring that when I place the cup down it doesn't hit the table - when I say hit I don't mean aggressively - evenly. Allow one edge to hit the table first so it isn't put down too evenly....if you get what I am saying....I find it applies a little sideways pressure and helps to do the trick....

Exactly what I mean

Looks like our posts crossed paths based on the times listed....and both are thinking along the same lines......brilliant minds think alike hey dat?

They also say that idiots rarely differ but I prefer to go with your choice of words
