I have an idea, alas how rarely they come, on and old effect with a new twist. I was checking out Bone Yard Bargains and found mini skulls.. I am still working on the story but how about cups and SKULLS...

Or you can even use the eyeballs, and the
skull as the cut. E-Leoni. |

Skull as a cup... Hmmmm...Or switch the eyes at the end for the skulls much as others switch the balls for lemons or fruit...

If it were me, I would save the skulls for the final load.
Just imagine yourself doing a typical cups and balls routine, and then near the end, shifting your patter to a darker tone, and then revealing the skulls.

How about a skull version of beads of Prussia? Do it to a VooDoo Witch Doctor theme or maybe a story about Baby Doc DuVaulier (sp?).
I've been thinking of making one of these for a long time. Some day I'll stop and do it (of course it will already be on the market by then). Of course mine will be much much better. :0) Doug

Greetings,
How about a goblet chop cup? The skull carved of bone from a thief, or other elusive character. Or perhaps it is a talisman that cannot be lost? It always returns to this coin... Under the cup, in the shot glass, in the original box/bag, etc. Pardon my rambling nature, but an all nighter has left me sleepless and I am inflicting my fevered brain on you forgiving souls.

Bob, I love you! (Not in that way, of course :o)
Seriously, though, I have a suggestion on Sam's goblet chop cup idea. Do it with a wooden goblet, gaffed appropriately. The wooden goblet seems more "innocent", and is actually probably easier to gaff since the tools are much more accesible and inexpensive :o)

Ah, yes...I like. My favorite scene in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" is the choosing of the grail towards the end, which you just brought flashing back to memory. What fun :o)

And the wooden goblet could be the cup of christ or maybe that would be to close to the bone for some people [/quote] Maybe not. In our seance ( The Cross Creek Graveyard Seance) a King James Bible goes up in flames. I believe that bizarre magick SHOULD push the envelope a bit to make it distinct from regular magic. By the way, although I won't discuss the method here, it is NOT a "hot book". We do this seance in private homes, bed & Breakfasts and the like and the Bible is on the spectator/hosts table,nowhere near the performers at any time. But as bizarrists, I really think that we need to push the limits. Best regards, Tony Razzano

A goblet as chop cup would seem a "natural" for a story line about the plot from the book, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
No? Yes? (Maybe?) Or how about a yarn concerning the Borgias? ("Have a nice time -- but don't drink anything!") Actually, I do a routine similar to that. And another, based on the old Danny Kaye movie, A Connecticut Yankee . . ., in which he has to remember which goblet is okay and which is poisoned: "The chalice from the palace has the brew that is true while the flagon with the dragon has the pill that is poison." cheers, Peter Marucci showtimecol@aol.com |

Excellent! I will make a goblet out of a cho[p cup as per Peter's instruct in his linking ring story of Snow.
