Hi - I plan to load and produce two average sized coconuts at the end of an over-sized cup and ball routine. Only trouble is I'm not sure of the best way to conceal them on my person. They should be held in the small of my back (I have plenty of costume cover) but how? I thought about maybe creating larger billiard ball hoop-holders and pinning then inside my jacket, but they don't scale up very well.

I'd be grateful if anyone can advise!

Will this be stage or close up? If it's on stage you could have a slightly lower table between you and the main table? Admittedly I know very little about the cups and balls and you will most likely get some better advice from Dat, but I liked your avatar so much I just had to give you a reply.

Hi - this will be on stage and I will working on a very small monopod table. Just need a way of keeping the coconuts back there above my belt line...

Glad you liked the MB logo - see profile for link

I've seen your profile and website and now I'm confused as to what to think. Your occupation as a messageboard troll makes me nervous, but your desire for a book bound in human skin gives me hope. I wasn't aware in my first post that I was looking at a pair of testicles but that only improves the image in my mind. I will be watching you closely, both online and through your bedroom window.

Hi Seb, PM sent

Seb,

Will I be getting a preview of this effect? you always impress me with your thinking which is so outside the box it keeps your style original.

(The great sebastiano has a great chop cup routine)

I will get my thinking cap on regarding your hairy coconuts lol

Will we be seeing you on Thurs?


Lee.

Thanks for that Jim. Could be just what I need. Time to get the sewing kit out I think

Thursday is still up in the air atm - will make every effort though

Thanks for all the PM suggestions. In the end I went with a modified back pocket and a loosened belt. Seemed to get away with it.

Just a quick thought on the original post...
...would a pouch of the type used by Gazzo and others of that style of performance be out of the question for holding large loads? That routine tends to end with a hat-filling final load and there seems to be no issue there.

Of course, pouches aren't for everyone.

I saw this live,

It was very entertaining, Seb's style is always a bit different and I never know what to expect.

A great show from a great magician.

Cheers Lee - you always say such nice things. What're you after?

I want the nipple tassels that was on the coconuts

Well performed!

Nice effect Seb, the tassles were a nice touch.

To be honest, after visiting your website, i was half expecting you to stick the fingers up at the end of it
