Where did the ball go? There ? Under the cup?
But no ! In the pocket, of course! What ?
Has she even crossed the cup?
And now ? Incredible: she has disappeared again!
Automatic or semi-automatic routines of cups to learn or improve!
Designed by Al Wheatley, the magic accessory known as the Chop Cup (the stage name of Wheatley was Chop Chop, and cup is the English word for cup) draws a large part of his fascination power over the spectators of his classic ancestry: the ancient game of cups. Indeed, if we had to define the Chop Cup in two words, it could be said that this is an updated and considerably simplified version of the game of cups. Raised, because, instead of using three cups as in the classic version, it uses only one, and simplified because it has a crucial advantage compared to traditional goblets, namely: a mechanical secret, Simple but effective, which allows the magician to devote himself almost entirely to the presentation, the accessories doing the work for him ... If, in addition, the magician is skilful enough to combine this mechanical principle with manipulations, he obtains completely incomprehensible effects For spectators.
The fact of using only one goblet concentrates the attention of spectators at a unique point; Despite this increased vigilance, the best possible effects with traditional cups are also achievable with the Chop Cup; At the same time, the magician has innumerable variants allowed by the secret feature of the cup and one of the balls. The manipulations of pure address that can be superimposed on this purely mechanical secret depend of course on the technical knowledge of the magician, and this is where this book intervenes.
Indeed, although most magicians who read these lines are undoubtedly already in possession of a Chop Cup, certainly rare are those who have gone beyond the fundamental routine as it appears in the explanatory notice that accompanies The material provided by the merchant ... This book will allow you to go further and methodically explore the possibilities offered by this miraculous accessory by offering you a complete overview of the possibilities.
A Basic routine serves as a starting point. It does not require any address, no particular know-how: it is the cup and the little ball that does all the work for you! This routine will be more particularly suitable for beginners and all those who want to familiarize themselves with the objects necessary for its realization.
From this basic routine, you can learn other, more elaborate, more subtle sequences, also calling on the operator's skill. As you advance in the book, you will realize that the routines become more complex, incorporate more techniques, and therefore require further training. Thus, each reader will be able to choose the routine, the sequence or even the sequence that suits it best, depending on its tastes and capacities. It goes without saying that all the described routines can also be considered as simple springboards for the development of original and completely personal routines.
