I am still pretty much a beginner, but cups and balls has always been one of my favorites (all my magic is for kids). I have copper cups and also have a chop cup that exactly matches my cups and balls gear. When you include the possibilities of cups and balls with a chop cup, then the possibilities multiply by 10....my routine changes frequently, seems every time I do it for some kids, I get a new idea to work on and add or change the routine.
