The Mendax Effect will allow you to produce objects from cups in a way that is as close to real magic as you can possibly get.

In this 40 minute download you’ll learn how to vanish and produce balls with cups you can immediately hand out. You can perform an indefinite chop cup style routine and hand out the cup and ball whenever you wish. Vanishes, productions, transpositions!

A popular use of the effect is making multiply balls appear under any one of several cups that a spectator freely selects.

You’ll start clean and end clean!

You may immediately hand out the cups, not only to examine but to keep as a souvenir.

This is intended for closeup and walk around performance but certainly may be applied to parlor and stage as well.

No props are included but everything you’ll need is easy to obtain, and everything is explained in granular detail. The additional image provided shows the types of props and items you may choose to utilize with this effect.

Charles Atchison is a magician, musician, folk artist, inventor, actor, and producer. He has over 40 years of practical experience working in magic and is finally ready to share his best kept secrets with the magic community.

This is the Mendax Effect!

Very clever, very clean Report this review

I really like this.

To be honest, I'm not a working magician and I've never even tried cup and ball. I do magic as a hobby and to freak out my nieces and nephews, so I was really interested in something like this. It's very visual, it's very clear what is happening (a ball is disappearing and reappearing), and it's very deceptive. I'm glad I took the chance even though I was a bit wary of the price. I feel it was worth it, for sure.

The video is great and teaches everything you need to know. Without giving anything away here- Charles teaches how to make what you need, where to get what you need (very inexpensive, easy to get materials), and many different ways to use this.

Five stars, for sure.

I never liked the traditional chop cup Report this review

Like he says, you have to explain why you have it, and you can’t hand it out.

This has all been solved. Making it a relatable object such as a simple coffee cup, and you can hand the ball AND cup out, makes this trick unbeatable.

Simple to make, easy to perform. I even tried other cups such as solo amd styro foam.
