Jay Sankey's Magus Capsule (with DVD) - THE TIMELESS IMPACT OF THE CUPS AND BALLS - ANYTIME, ANYWHERE! INNOVATIVE, ELEGANT, MYSTERIOUS AND SUPREMELY PRACTICAL!
List Price: $45.00 Our Price: $36.00 You Save: $9.00
With vanishes, appearances, multiplications and a "jumbo load finale," there's no doubt that cups and balls is an absolute classic of magic. But why do so few magicians actually PERFORM the effect for "real people" on a regular basis? The answer is simple: three large cups are heavy and awkward, too much table space is required for a performance, and there are just too many items to carry!
That's why the MAGUS CAPSULE is a walk around magician's dream! Small enough for a jacket pocket, large enough to pack a lethal punch, the capsule features a revolutionary new design with "built-in misdirection" while adding a quiet touch of class to any performance.
On the special Magus Capsule companion DVD Jay teaches a powerful handful of sleights and techniques including:
RETENTION VANISH
FALSE TRANSFER
POP-UP MOVE
SPIDER VANISH
KNOCK-OUT & HPC TECHNIQUES
Jay also performs and explains some of his favorite Magus Capsule routines including:
SHAKEN, NOT STIRRED
NESTING INSTINCT
THREE BALLS ACROSS
TIME CAPSULE
WILD FIRE
This DVD also includes 3 new Sankey close-up effects!
"Drawing A Blank": A signed "vampire card" steals the body of a signed selection!
"Relocation": A borrowed, marked coin travels from the spectator's right hand to the spectator's left hand!
"Impossibler": An astounding, triple-climax, two-deck routine!

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 :).

Brilliant!

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!

You can't improve on perfect

I think that the cups and balls are such a popular and well used magic trick because its perfect for what it is, Jay Sankey has tried to come up with a better design but its not that great (sorry Jay, you win some you lose some).
The magus capsule just isn't the cups and balls, its like drinking light beer, its just not the same. The DVD that accompanies the capsule however is extremely useful, Jay teaches moves that can be used anywhere, false transfers and the like, I trick people with these moves without the capsule.
If your a first timer with cups and balls oriented tricks than this might be a bit harder to master than some of the other tricks you may have purchased, it really is all slieght of hand and you need lots of practice before you perform this.
I wish I had of just bought the cups and balls, think about that.

Well, I thought I'd like this, but I guess it wasn't for me. If u wanna carry around the cups and balls, and if you're good at creating new things, go for it. But for now, it's going on my shelf.
and share your thoughts with other magicians!
