If you;re into your cups then take a look at this fascinating site. A real chunk of magic history.

Going right along with that one, you might want to check this one, too!

I like the "useless cups and ball sets that I own" section in dat8962's post! :lol:

We should have a history section and add these two links :lol:

Jim Riser's site is a terrific addition to the suggestions above. Have a look here:

Follow all the links on his site for some really interesting information.

Thanks Mog - I've ordered one from the States at $23 dollars (about £13)

I went into Davenports and theirs was £37

hmmm - thinking of getting this - I'm new to C+B - would it be worth it at this price then?

cheers (and don't be mean and nick it

)

I'd say that it's worth it at that price - you can't go far wrong for under a tenner. You need to get some good learning material on cups and balls to go with it :lol:

hmmm CUPS about cups? had a quick look and these are the ones i could find at the moment.. i think there may be another couple somewhere?

by **dat8962** » Aug 25th, '06, 23:52

Nice keyboard - same as mine :lol:

Why do I also have stacked close up mats?

Could you reveal where you got the chop mug from?

by **the_mog** » Aug 26th, '06, 09:07

to be honest i cant remember where i got it..i think it was ebay?

I'm sure they can still be bought from an online retailer in the US though if you try google

by **dat8962** » Aug 26th, '06, 12:35

will do - thanks

Jb magic have some weird ones, they still should have the tennis ball version, this is a plastic tennis ball tube will all bits. They used to have a coffee cup version with sugar cubes instead of balls.

I use Morrisey chop cups and cups/ balls.
