This set is great for beguinners; but for its size and weight is not the perfect one for me. To me it seems too small so if you're performing on stage, I'd go for a more expensive one.

Great buy, just what I needed. I'm a card guy, I know nothing about cups and balls but, I decided to give them a try. I bought Table Hopping Cups and Balls with Carl Andrews, and then I searched penguin for cups and balls to use for the trick. Found these nice set for a low price and I was good to go. Whatever your routine will be, the Cups and Balls Brass by Uday, is the way to go.

Uday Cups & Balls Brass are a great starter set of cups and balls. I've had this set for about three years. I don't perform the cups and balls yet but I have spent dozens of hours upon hours of practicing with these cups and they've held up well and look great (like a well worn magic prop should). My skills are very good and these work very well for all moves. In other words, I haven't outgrown them. I do use Colombini's can-can move where I flip the cups through the air from hand to hand with no problems. I suppose sooner or later I'll spring for an expensive set but these have served me well.

I have bought three Cups & Balls sets and this is the one I have in current use when I perform.

This particular set seems to have found that sweet spot for me. You know that feeling when you work with a magic item (a wand, set of cards or the like) and you say to yourself, "this is what it's meant to feel like".

I have used plastic (terrible), aluminum (good but too light) and now these brass ones and I know I am content for now.

Eventually I am sure I will buy the penguin cups ($99.00) but for now I am happy with these.

I can't recommend any higher than I am - 5 stars. Buy now.
