Hello there,
I perform Instinct by Matthew Mello. I'm looking for cups that allow me to do the trick easier. I used to use APOLLO brand styrofoam cups but they aren't in production anymore. Does anyone know which brand they use and where I can get my hands on them? Attaching pictures would help! Thank you! -Mark |

I'd love to know where to get the proper cups!

Target? WalMart? Just wander through a general store and check out the cups for the property you need.

I would always go to Safeway or Fred Meyers and get cups for it.

If you keep performing this type of Russian Roulette, you will eventually hurt yourself.
This plot is also geting boring. So many magicians using it. Everyone has seen it, at least on YouTube.

Probably because I'm using a different presentation to anyone else I've seen do it. Derren Brown did The Pain Game in Miracle and it seemed to get good reactions from the audience as well.

Ha! I had actually forgotten about that. A proper Russian Roulette, too!

These cups can be purchased in any supermarket or dollar store - at least where I live.

I have tried this although I just can't figure out how to make people enjoy it. I've found that the plot just makes people cringe.
Method is solid, nothing against Matt. Just my opinion. |

Personally I find it works pretty well if you give it an emotional hook, and eliminate as much of the dead time as possible. By that I mean the time spent shuffling the bags/cups/whatever around, and then the slow elimination process.
My way of doing it is much quicker, and the script is delivered in line with the smashing. I could still use some fine tuning on the routine but it's one of my more popular ones in my show currently.

Uline.com is a great place for cups, boxes (to hold playing cards) and lots of other stuff.
