It seems that the T-palm is used instead of the C-palm. It seems much easier to use the T-palm. He uses c-palm only. He is so perfect in in his job. There is a phrase among cups and balls "through ball". This means quickly insert c-palmed ball into the cup. This move is different from how Steve Dacri inserts balls into cups. Indian street magicians don't learn many tricks. They learn and perform only 3-5 routines in their entire life. Most of them learn magic from their parents. The cup used by this magician is kitchen utensil. Any one know who is this magician? |

Offering bowls are a wonderful tip, Pete. Thanks!

Very interesting thread and full of information. I have seen a magician perform Indian Cups and Balls with chicken in Jaipur. It was amazing.
Anyone interested in seeing a street magician in Delhi must go to Kathputli Colony. It is a slum though, but full of street artists. Even Ishammuddin, the Indian magician who revived the first part of India Rope Trick, lives here. Where can I get the Pete Biro book on Indian Cups and Balls? |

I would hazard a guess that you could get it from Pete Biro. Just send him a private message.

Just wanted to share that per Pete Biro's suggestion, I found three brass butter lamps/offering bowls. The extra small size is 2.5 inches in diameter and 2 inches high. It works great, and three will set you back a scant $18 plus shipping.

Thanks for that link, Neil!
If you get these, you really need to buy Pete Biro's book on the Indian Cups & Balls! I do believe (correct me, Pete, if I am mistaken), that there is an extra tip on using the top of the cup as a hold-out! A most valuable book, in my opinion. Pete had a similar set he used to sell, and the book that came with it, describes that feature in detail. Pete's web page is: http://www.petebiro.com Pete just posted that, "...in one of Eddie Joseph's routines he suggests using baby bottle NIPPLES instead of balls." What a GREAT idea! I'm going to look into that. Plus, if you are looking for a very classy, wooden set of Indian Cups, this site has them marked down from $80 to $10! I just bought them, and I'm so glad I did! What a find! (It's the cups only, balls are not included) Check 'em out: http://magic4less.com/Merchant5/merchant......ode=CLUP They're probably not going to last long, so I'd hurry! Doug |

Excuse me, but I should add, that these wooden cups have the Chop Cup feature!

All 3 are chopped, and they look great! For $11.99!? But now my regular combo cup balls are too big. The wooden Hindu cups are rather small. The "one" ball won't dislodge. I'm going to have to get cork balls from the local hobby shop and gimmick one, I think. |

They look nice on a shelf, as well! Some kind of exotic wood, too. Very, very nice! |

I went to a local hobby shop looking for the cork balls and found several sizes of wooden balls as well as some small wooden eggs. (All unpainted.) They also had several sizes of pom poms in various colors. The pom poms look great. I still need to gimmick the wood balls to see whether they're too heavy. |

Nanu was referred to earlier in the thread; I've just seen his performance of the cups and balls; it was lovely.

I am not sure if he is able to learn all the 64 original moves. But the few he learns are to perfection. |

I noticed 64 is a recurring number in Sanskrit literature, so is 128.
I don't think the number 64 should be taken literally as the number of moves. I know if you ask the few who are left in India with this skill, they still will tell you 64. |
