The Cups and Balls should be studied, if not performed, by every magician and this DVD is an excellent starting point for new students and a wonderful reference tool even for those who have some experience with this foundational effect.

John Mendoza leads off with his eponymous routine, arguably a modern classic.

Johnny Thompson demonstrates several classic Cups and Balls sequences in the guises of famous magicians such as Malini, Krieger and Vernon.

Steve Dacri then ably demonstrates the apparatus and routines favored by the Hindu fakirs.

Larry Jennings performs and teaches his justly famous routine with just one cup, bookended by the startling production of the cup and its complete vanish at the end.

Marc DeSouza uses his Cups and Balls routine to take spectators on a journey through the rich history of magic.
