Three cups and three balls. The performer makes the balls appear and disappear at will, making them travel from under one cup to another, through cups and disappearing altogether!

"No man can call himself a magician, until he has mastered the cups and balls." - Harry Houdini

Many professional magicians make the Cups and Balls the highlight of their performances, and for good reason. This trick is a true classic, a real audience pleaser.

Regarded as one of the oldest illusions in magical history, not only were actual cups found in the tomb of King Tutankhamun, but the Beni Hasan Mural painting (which dates back to approximately 2500 B.C.) shows ancient Egyptian conjurers performing this illusion in the Pharoah's court. We definitely know that the magic of the cups and balls dates back 4,000 years.

This effect is easy to learn, but amazing to watch. Audiences love it!
