Does anybody know if there is a holder or something that you can clip to your belt? What's your method to carry the cup?

I use an ungimmicked cup, so I only do it when there is an empty coffee cup on the table.

Check out "Scout Around" since it's collapsible it fits easily in your pocket, then opens into six different shapes, with many unique effect possibilities.

Jiayi, would you prefer a belt clip over a shoulder holster (if either were available)?

Hi guys, thanks for sharing. For now, I have my cup in a little bag and just carry it to the tables, place it on the table when I have their permission to perform, usually that will get people's attention and they want to know what's inside the bag, then I will proceed with my Chop Cup routine.
DDecae: I would prefer the belt clip if the price is right, the shoulder holster will be too much to carry after the whole jacket is loaded and looks weird without a jacket. |

I'm not sure if Don is stocking the Le Petite cups but that allows you to do a C cup routine and it fits right in your jacket pocket, balls, loads and all...
I have the stainless one and an added bonus is that it looks just like a shot measure, I introduce it as such. Bri |

There are elastic tennis ball holders that you can clip on your belt.
You could try a bankers clip on the belt.

Huh. I used to do strolling and I never thought of doing a chop cup routine. Do you guys do a full cups and balls with three cups and a lemon load?

Not while I am strolling. I use the chop cup, instead.

While I haven't had the opportunity yet, I'm planning on using my segmented Eric Hansen chop cup the next time I stroll. This particular cup fits in my jacket pocket without looking too bulgy.
I also used my Don Alan Mini once while strolling at a birthday party. It was a casual affair, and I put it in the front pocket of my hooded sweatshirt. You couldn't even tell anything was there. |

I keep all my props when I'm strolling in my jacket, aside from my wallet, which is part of my normal attire, so it stays in my pants pocket.
So, when I started carrying my chop cup routine, I wanted a belt hook, but ended up just shoving it in my pants pocket. As far as loads, I took a note from Tommy Wonder and the entire routine is self contained in that regards. The only extra bit I carry is a shot glass which does not take up much room.

There's also the concept of the leather cup that you can fold into the shape of a cup for use and unfold and put it in your pocket when not in use.

Or for that matter, any object that is cup like in the performing environment.
On St Patty's day, Boston Pizza had these little green plastic hats on the tables. I started using them for impromptu cup routines with a borrowed bill. I tend to be hesitant to use anything on the table that a customer might use for eating, like a coffee mug, or glass, etc, for the seemingly obvious reasons. A bit of a pain though as there are so many great routines and effects using objects found in restaurants. I used to carry a few forks (of the restaurants, matching the ones on the table) and use them for some metal bending, so that I would not be using the patrons, but I still occasionally had suspicions around the utensils, even though they were the same as the ones on the table. Isn't there a section of the Café specifically for "where to put it all?" I think it's more about cases, but would this not be a great discussion for there as well?
