It's kind of tough to wade through all of Bill's cups. Where exactly are the photos of the Ammar cups?

They're in the traditional cup section of the 'Regular Cups'.
There's also a fairly good picture here. Richard
I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I only lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three. Elayne Boosler

Wow, I'm impressed by all these different collections. I have built an extensive collection over the years...much of it comes from my good friend J.P. Jackson--whom I have known for several years. Nevertheless, I must pay homage to my friend, Bill Palmer, who has a tremendous collection. Bill's attempts to historically document the cups and balls is truely a great accomplishment.
Here are the highlights/favorites in my collection: -Paul Fox Model 1 in nickel/chrome-- from Ron Allesi magic -Paul Fox Model 2 (DD)in copper--these belonged to the late Mike Rogers -Paul Fox Chick cups (DD)--these came from Bob Walder...who got them from Gazzo, who got them from Johnny Thompson, who got them from Charlie Miller, who got them from Paul Fox....feeew! -JESmagic Sqatty Cups--of course, their mine... I love them...each run differently. The most recent RNT 2 run is conceivably my favorite--particularly the polished copper and nickel chrome! -Ross Bertram Cups--again, these belonged to Mike Rogers -Rings and Things Bells of St. Mary's--another set from the Mike Rogers estate -RNT 2 Monti Cup in church bronze -Sisti Working Cups in brass--one of his first runs from several years ago -Paul Fox model 2 copper (Busby)--yes, they look nice too -Paul Fox model 2 nickel chrome (DD) -Paul Fox model 2 polished brass (DD) -RNT 2 PF in stainless (corrected version)--stunning stainless spinning job and finally... the Johnson Cups in copper (a rarity). Of course, I've got about 20 more different sets in my display, but I cannot remember all of them. These are my favorites though! It was neat to hear what everyone has. I've heard the Sherwood cups are nice, but have never held a set... Jonathan Schweid, M.D. |

First cups were the small cups in a the Magic Kit I got for Christmas.
Then a chromed plastic set from a local novelty store. Then Rings and Things Aluminum which were great for holding hamsters. Then Paul Fox/Danny Dew Coppers from Magic Emporium in the 70's The Rings and Things Monti cups with the Mendoza routine The crappy Indian wood cups Then Nice wood cups from Paul Green A set of JES copper cups, mistakening sold to me as Paul Fox The the Bells of Saint Mary's at the Castle Swap meet Johnny Paul style cups from Paul Green Brass cups and video off Ebay for cheap, just for fun Then a fraudulently represented "Paul Fox Style" cup in copper on Ebay. Penguin Cups in copper, before I knew better Finally Engraved Sherwood Silver cups as a gift from my wife. I have all but a few. Kirk The |

Johnathan,
Glad to see you've checked in. I'm still loving my squatties. They even grace the artsy web page (although the rest of the site is undelveloped garbage) at http://www.briefcasemagic.com. I took that shot. Ron |

I don't have very many cups at all, however I'm gradually increasing my collection.
1. Probably too many little plastic cups to count (relatives still give me little toy kits to date, but hey, they're still fun) 2. Aluminum cups and balls 3. Wooden flower pots, painted to look fancy and exphensive (hey, they can hardly tell the difference) 4. Penguin Cups- I don't see why so many people don't like these, they're relatively good cups, if you get the right set. 5. Soon to be proud owner of the Phoenix Cups, (birthday prestent) can't wait! Check back in about two years, I'll have quite a few more nice sets by then, mabey even more than Bill, haha, Yea Right |

My sentimental favorite is a set of Silver Plated Paul Fox cups that I bought from Danny Dew, back when the earth was still warm, for $25.
Of the modern cups, I've developed a preference for stainless steel and the output from RNT2 in the metal is superb, in my opinion. sam |

I've read a lot about people buying used cups. Where could one look for a decent set of used cups? I’ve heard too many horror stories to trust eBay cups.
Don’t get me wrong, I would love a new set of Foxy II.V Cups or even Riser Mini cups, and I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before I break down and spring for one of these sets…but in the meantime, it’s hard to justify the price when I’m still just learning. (I did order some Bazar de Magia cups after reading a bunch of these threads. I’m anxiously awaiting their arrival. Maybe they will hold me for a while.) |

Okay, it's official. I'm out of control with the Cups. I won two different sets of cups on E-bay last night and bought two sets of cups from RNTII today. I need help.
This is the list of the cups I now have, in order of purchase, counting the four sets I bought in the last 24 hours: Adams Cups and Balls set Morrissey Regular Copper Cups Ickle Pickle Aluminum Mini Cups Paul Fox style Cups made from Koa Wood (bought from Curtis Kam in early 90) Johnson Brass Cups RNTII Brass Foxy One Cups Jim Riser Mini Copper Cups Jim Riser Regular Copper Cups RNTII Mini PF Style Stainless Steel Cups RNTII Mini PF Style Copper Cups RNTII Mini PF Brass Limited Edition Cups Brett Sherwood Engraved Silver Cups Pete Biro Indian Cups RNT II Paul Fox Stainless Steel Cups Johnson Copper Limited Edition Cups RNTII Paul Fox Stainless Steel Chick Cups Ickle Pickle Brass Mini Cups Ickle Pickle Copper Mini Cups RNTII Paul Fox Antique Bronze Cups RNTII Paul Fox Copper Chick Cups It's a good thing this list doesn't include chop cups. The funny thing is I go into antique stores and look at the stuff and wonder, "who collects cereal boxes?", or, "who collects salt and pepper shakers?" At least I can use my cups. |

Glad I found this thread -- I was just beating myself up over all the $$ I spend on my hobby. But compared to you guys...!
Here's my list: Morrissey's Johnsons x2 (one set sold) Galli-Galli (swapped for...) Foxy II.V (these are the bomb -- precisely correct for my original routine and special loads) Foxy I (in the mail according to to Mad Jake, right Jake? Doug

Since I started this thread, I've sold everything and am now down to
1 or 2 sets of cellini cups mini paul fox cups (stainless) from RNTII and I have a paul fox (stainless) from RNTII on its way. I also have one set of large ren faire leather cups with a rivet bead that I will be donating to the C&B Museum. I still prefer Cellini cups for my working cups for many reasons.

I don't know. I think it's just one but I'm hoping it's two.
I like to have a backup.
