I saw a guy at Magic Live a few months ago with an India made three cups and balls set. The cups were absolutely beautiful and they rang with such clarity. Every time he'd tap them with the wand they'd just ring like bells. Even though his presentation was in a language I couldn't understand (Indian I think) the moves were invisible and I totally understood the magic that was going on. He was a Fakir. Powerful stuff when presented right I tell you. I was never a fan of the cups and balls until that moment. I've loved them since.
