Explanation of Ball & Cup Magic Tricks

Video Transcript

"Okay, so let me give you some more tips on this cups and balls routine. Um, there are some other ideas that you can do. Um, one of them I wanted to share with you is, if you have a ball under a cup like this and, this, this only works with like better cups, the plastic cups you’re going to have a tough time doing this, because they have a deep dip. But let’s say you want to make this ball look like it went right through the cup. Well, the way you do it is you put the ball here, you put this on, and you drag this off, you drag the cup across and take the ball with it, like that. And then you can take this, now the nice part about this is then, you’re set up to do it again, if you want to do the penetration, okay. I made sure I threw in a French drop with a wand, like this, because I wanted you to see what that looked like, okay. And then we did one more French drop without the wand, like that. Now the other part that I did was, I took a ball and I put it on top of each cup, like this and we were doing that tilt thing that I showed you before, where we tilt the cup and put the ball underneath, then we’re going to make the ball vanish, okay. Now I’m holding the ball in my hand, and I’ve already introduced one under here, when I did the tilt, so I’m going to do it again, put the ball underneath, this is sort of a one head idea with balls. And I’m holding the ball here again and we tilt one more time, make the ball vanish, you can use the wand if you like and then the balls end up back under the cups and that’s kind of a nice finish to the cups and balls.
