Hello, to all. Do any of you perform the cups and balls? If so, are you using a previously established routine, or have you created your own?
Many thanks for your time.

Cups and Balls

I am re-creating my chop cup routine, which is obviously based on cups and balls. I made up my own, borrowing sleights and sequences from many sources.
I made up my own based on prior sleights. Some of the resources I used include Michael Ammar's book (which is available at L&L as an e-Book: http://llepub.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=32), Michael Ammar's DVDs (both of them) and the L&L's World's Greatest Magic Cups and Balls DVDs.
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.
I created my own in high school. I don't perform it anymore. I used small ceramic pots and my loads were golf balls. I wedged the golf balls into the cups and they say there the whole routine till I wanted to reveal them.
