The magician sets the cups upside down on the table; then one of the balls atop the center cup. The cups are stacked, a snap of the fingers, and to the amazement of the audience, the ball has traveled down through the stack of cups and sits on the table.

The balls seem to pass through the cups, jump from cup to cup and even disappear. In the end, the spectators can inspect the cups and the balls without discovering the secret.

This classic of magic dates back to ancient Egypt, but is easy to master with our online video instructions.

This set of Cups & Balls are multi-colored and a little larger than our silver-colored version. Each cup in this set stands 2 inches tall. (Colors may vary.)
