I love Sankey's latest reinvention of an old classic cups and balls. I love everything Sankey and
this one will not let you down. As lovers of the art of magic we need to be well rounded and be able
to do different kinds of magic. I hesitated to do cups and balls because 1. Cups and Balls are
pretty expensive and 2. Too much to carry. The Magus Capsule is the answer. Get this if you want to
incorperate cups and ball routine into your arsenal.

This is so freaking cool...the demo does not give this any justice...you have got to buy it....there
are so many things you can do with this....Jay teaches the sleight of hand great...you can make up
your own tricks with it....anyone who has anything bad to say about it is obviously just not very
creative with it...and I'm sick of these people talking about how weird Jay is...he isn't wierd ...I
think he is funny as hell.....trust me on this one...it's way worth it....it can fit in your
pocket..and you can just pull it out and make something up! Good job Jay.

I think it's a cool idea, I am enjoying messing with it and coming up with interesting presentations
and effects. My only problem is with the chop gimmick. The magnet is so strong that the ball hits
the table and bounces back up to the magnet. Even with the lightest tap onto the table I still have
the same problem. The machining was a bit off as well. My cap doesn't fit so well.
Overall it's a great idea, I just wish it was made a little better.

I like this because it's simple, stylish and has so many virtues about it. Nice job Jay.

This is an awesome new twist on the cups and balls. You can carry it around so easily, and perform
it in the smallest of spaces. It easily has replaced my cups and balls. Also, this trick is so cool
to bring to my restaurant work. I do it with Jay's paperclipped (he explains on the DVD what to do),
and when they see their folded card come out of the capsule they are so freaked out. ESPECIALLY
since the folded card doesnt even fit into the capsule! I give this my highest recommendations!

Great way to revitalize the cups balls / chop cup routines! This capsule DOES indeed have a built
in misdirection. Those who like sleight of hand at its purest will like this. It allows you to
show off the cups and balls in a new and ingenious way. Everyone owns and has seen the typical red,
blue, yellow cup/ball trick. But all will be surprised with this new twist. Definitely recommend
this to all....

This is a nice variation on the old classic, and has a lot of fun applications. My capsule was well
made, no quality issues for me. My only complaint was that it didn't come with balls, (and penguin
seems to be always out of the inexpensive ones) but that was mentioned in the description before I
purchased it so I don't feel right taking away stars for it.
Jay Sankey has come up with a really good idea. For anyone who enjoys performing the cups and balls,
this is a great portable set that you can carry around with you all the time. As a bonus, these
product also contains the built in chop cup to help eliminate some of the slight of hand that is
normally used in the cups and balls. Although this is a good product, I still prefer the original
cups and balls. I think they look nicer when performing, and I like the weight of the cups. Anyways,
if you are looking for an inexpensive but yet high quality set of cups, get this. Plus you get some
bonus stuff on the DVD too.
this is a great effect i would recommend it to anyone. the only problem i had is that my two halves
dont connect very unless you hold it sideways they come apart. oh and the other problem was in the
video it says you get blue knit balls. mine were a dirty white. overall a great effect :).
I just got my Capsule and it is brilliant! (Despite some reviewers saying they had to fiddle with
the edges, my Capsule opens and closes easily.) I like it because it looks NOTHING like "Cups and
Balls". Indeed, you don't even have to use the balls! Jay includes routines on the DVD that use
all kinds of objects. The "Wild Fire" routine is particularly killer, in which you flame a signed
piece of flash paper that then reappears intact within the Capsule, WITHIN THE SPECTATORS OWN HANDS!
Even better, I found that I could fit one of the new Mini Sharpie markers right inside the capsule,
along with the lighter and paper...making this a completely self-contained pocket trick!
