Hello, I am new here and am getting ready to get back into magic again. I am currently rebuilding my collection (old one was stolen) and have a few questions...

1. Cups & Balls...When I was younger (10+ years ago) and doing magic, I used the colored cups version and was wondering, which do you guys prefer...the color cups or the aluminum cups? I really like the aluminum, but I do realize the colorful ones may be better if I get back into kids shows. I just want some opinions, please. Also, I saw a kids show awile back with my nephew and the magician had HUGE, colorful cups & balls with baseball sized sponge balls (4 inch?) and I was wondering if Penguin ever carried or does carry them now?

2. How many sponge balles come in the sponge ball packages sold here?

3. For my next question , I was wondering about the vanishing silk...now, I am new here and haven't ordered anyhting yet, so I don't believe I can use the Penguins Only section...so I am going to try and be discreet...
IF YOU DON'T OWN VANISHING SILK, please don't read below...if you do please highlight the area between the lines...

That's a pretty sneaky way to ask for a secret, we can still read it you know!
