@TheMehryar Ya yes, but the best magic in the world is based on very old principles. If you read books that pre-date 1960's, you actually find a surprising amount of material, used by magicians today, is in these books.
@StardockMagic Actually, he never puts it in the cup. At 3:04 he puts his empty hand over the cup while the ball disappears down his sleeve or what have you
interesting. now that i think about it, there was no chop cup spots. that is what makes this routine so good. you didn't have to use a chop cup and can fool magicians like me.
Actually had the pleasure of seeing this live at a magic seminar in Colorado. Tim Ellis performed this right in front of a small crowd and it was amazing. I bought the book with the routine and it is very very difficult.
I was once taught magic from him and sue-ann webster. These are two of the nicest and best talented people in the world of magic.
@magicgriff I give my word that a standard milkshake cup.

this guy is AWESOME, definitely one of the best ball n cups routines around
one thing that really stumps me though, and it has for a while, how do they pull massive objects, such as the huge straw, out of small bags?

@jazzman0101 I'm assuming a simple retractable tube that, when extended, has a catch that locks it in place

I saw this routine performed live at IMX 2011 and it was AWESOME. It is JUST as great, if not better live.

Great routine. The misdirections are fantastic. It took me a while to catch all of them. Very smooth handling.
I really liked the use of music and the whole outfit and getup, the presentation and how it went well with his style of magic.
