There are countless wonderful routines with cups and balls. Max Malini, Al Baker, Sam Horowitz, Charlie Miller, Paul Rosini, Dai Vernon and many other capable performers featured the trick in their close-up performances.

It is a close-up trick! And, it can be performed with paper cups completely surrounded by spectators or with sterling silver cups in a more formal setting.

The difference between a good performer and an expert performer is the manner in which the expert handles the props, makes fake transfers of the balls and deceptively executes the final large loads.

This download will help you learn how to correctly do these critical techniques. It also includes a complete routine that can be done with any cups. Or, portions may be incorporated into your present routine. If you are a beginner, this download will be invaluable.

Invaluable advice from a master Report this review

This is quite simply one of the best tutorial DVDs I've ever seen. This is not a comprehensive course in cups and balls, it is a more intermediate/advanced treatment that provides practical tips to take your routine to the next level. There is so much fantastic information in here, and much of it can be applied to magic in general (not just the cups and balls). Outstanding teaching, brilliant ideas, and an enjoyable experience. Just get it.

Excellent teaching tool Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 26th, 2016
I really like Bob White's coverage of the cups & balls. He not only teaches methods, but tells the student what to avoid as well. His vanishes ad ball placements alone is worth the price of DVD. If you do the cups & ball, this should definite do be one of your resources.

Good for Beginners Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 30th, 2021
As someone who knew nothing about the cups and balls before, this was just what I was looking for. I appreciate the comprehensive basic detail on every introductory aspect. This is enough to really get going. I appreciate him showing what not to do and what doesn't work as well; saves a good deal of experimenting.

Great library addition Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 25th, 2022
I’ve looked at a number of C&B videos. Wish I had this one long ago. Packed with practical tips, ideas and theory. Bob speaks from having performed this for years and has obviously read much on it. From beginner to advanced there is plenty here for everyone. This is a video I’ll go back to many times with a notepad! I would consider this foundational then add in a couple of other books and videos and you’ll have a lifetime of magic.

A Must to Learn Cups and Balls Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 23rd, 2022
Simply the best cups and balls instructional videos that I have watched. Yes, the video is old and I consider it to be a classic masterclass. It is a friendly, informal, video that is like you sitting with Bob one on one to learn. Everything is covered, different size and type cups, the proper size balls to use, he even talks about the color of the balls and how it affects performance. Loading the cups is clearly shown from the front and side. The final load with large objects is clearly demonstrated. Techniques are slowly and clearly taught. There's even a single cup Dai Vernon routine shown at the end of the video. This gem is a bargain for the price.

Bob White Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 19th, 2020
Bob White is a no-nonsense magician who has thought about the classics of magic and come to his conclusions on the subject of each of several classics. The more of Mr. White's material I run across, the more I appreciate him. He knows how to perform and teach the classics. I can't recommend his stuff enough, and I hate that we lost him. With Mr. White, you can see why the classics are the classics. His work makes me want to be a better magician. It therefore makes me a better magician.
