Anyone who does the shell game with the soft pea can re-create this routine for free. I thought I would reward the creator by purchasing this cup and an assortment of sponge balls. Maybe some sponge balls turning inside out to hide other sponge balls. Anyhow for a routine that I already knew I got a $2 plastic cup for $80. TCC should be ashamed of themselves. For $70 you can get their high quality leather cup that has the chop gimmick and comes with the necessary baseballs. Instead for $10 more than that I got a plastic cup.

I honestly thought there would be something special with this cup but no - it is a plain plastic cup in a box. For the price it doesn't even come with sponge balls. The packaging is good but I feel I have been ripped off for the price.

The cup is all yellowish as the resin badly aged and is full of small bubbles.

It's way overpriced for what it is. Other TCC products are less expensive and way better.

I bought this in my first (somewhat large order for me) purchase from TCC.
Their shells and this sponge system and a mat (bonus ring on rope).
I wanted to class up my act. I’ll keep my reviews seperated.
I wish I read the reviews of this prop, can’t disagree with much even at a discount about what has been said.
This was the biggest let down of the lot opening the box it looked like it was covered in a layer of tar from cigarette smoke and a couple bubbles but thy did not concern me as much as the coke like haze in the plastic. I contacted tcc and got a how to return email. It looks better now or my eyes have just adapted.
I got this trick on sale. Had I paid the full price I would have been irate.
Besides the production flaws, it is just a cup, somewhat aware of this I bought the sponge system thinking they were symbiotic. Besides the set of red and green sponge shown in Pure Cups tutorial there is no mention of one project or the other in either (sponge system, it’s competing with gecko for one of the biggest let downs in my twenty years of buying magic @$45.00 functional but way over priced) so after spending nearly a $100.00 on just this sponge ball/cup projects I’m still unable do the routine because I don’t own the small balls traditionally sold with cups and balls sets. So to do the routine for this cup not only would you need the sponge sytem but the mini cups and balls they sell!
That being said the routine (even lacking the small ball phases) has garnered interest in my practice and I plan to use both projects for quite sometime. The tutorials or middle road you get a studio performance (that seems more like a trailer at the beginning then the phases broken down over the shoulder. The tutorials are great for learning moves but gives nothing for the live performance insights I dig.
Despite the quality issues of product and the tutorial contains routines without supply them, if TCC drops the price on these I’ll pick up two more I've bee wanting three cup routine and this might just be the answer.
TCC has a classic classy approach to magic that they validify through high price points no wonder they need pitchman like Craig Petty And David and the rest of the marketing army talking about them every other post. They really need to polish up this classy effects they sell cause their first drops are a bit tarnished. (Just not as bad as some reviews lead ya to believe)
Whew!

This is the Best New innovation after Tommy Wonder's routine. This is not self working trick. Look the trailer again. It is very near real magic. If you don't understand this, stay In Tenyos tricks.

A box with a plastic cup. The cup is yellowish (not 100% clear/colorless). It has some manufacturing structure issues. No Sponge Balls included.

One little plus: The Cups has the same shape like the (big) final wooden Cups and Balls Cups.

Instructions are okay.
