Can someone suggest a reference book for Charles Bertram's Cups and Balls routine?
I know that there is a book called "The Court Conjuror" about Bertram but I have not been able to find any information as to whether this book is a biography only or if it details the routine(s). Thanks for any information Howard

I believe the routine is in both "The Court Conjuror" and "The Modern Conjuror" by C. Lang Neil. 'TMC' is available at Lybrary.com

Hank lee's site lists it as teaching Charles' cups routine:

Much of the Charles Bertram section of The Modern Conjuror is in The Court Conjuror. I would recommend getting TMC. It's not expensive. It's not a rare book, by any means.
