Chop Cup Design

[MonteCarbo]

(Full disclosure, I'm brand new to the forum and magic as a whole. I'm curious about the craft and am thinking about learning a handful of acts for use in my teaching career. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer and for patience as I learn.)

I saw a couple of videos of people performing the Chop Cup routine (namely Paul Daniels and Don Alan) and was very impressed. I understand that there is both sleight of hand and magnets involved, but I want to understand more about the cup and balls themselves as I would like to make my own kit. I am envisioning putting a circular magnet at the bottom of an unsuspecting coffee cup and was wondering if someone could help me figure out what kind of strength I would need for both magnet and ball (or whether or not I even need both cup bottom and ball to be magnetic).

Thank you for any and all help,
Monte

A friend of mine custom makes leather chop cup and ball sets if you would like to hit him up! Completely customizable. He will put anything you want on it! Tell him I sent you and he will take great care of you!

Those leather C&B cups would be a great look for RenFair performance.
