Cup Cards by Will Gray is a fun new packet trick which IS the cups and balls. Cups and balls are printed on the cards, and you do a fun cups and balls routine with the packet of cards. This is strong, fun magic which packs small and can play big. Follow the link above to see the trailer.

Free shipping in the U.S. and prompt shipping for just £3 in the UK.
We personally curate every product we sell because we put quality and service first.

Another great Magitoa release from an excellent performer.

Use this at one event and you will use it forever.

Well done Will Gray

I think this looks absolutely brilliant. I'm sure there is a way to easily introdcuce a final real final load kicker too.

I've got this and box pad on order and I really do think magic tao are on a roll at the moment. releasing some really good stuff. Horoscope by Chris congreave was great too.

This does look like a fun routine, although the shallot doesn't really make sense here in the US -- but I'm sure changing the order of the reveals would take care of that. My question is are the cards made from regular playing card stock or something more durable, especially with some of the cards going into the pocket. Also a more durable card would last a lot longer for those of us that might like to add a real final load as a kicker.

This effect is based on "Chop Shop" by John Bannon from his Big Blind Media DVD "Fractalicious" http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/S16318

I recommended this to a friend who performs often for children. "Cup Cards" would inherently be more easier for children to follow (than the original) because they won't have to be concerned with knowing the values of cards. For myself though I prefer the original version since it better suits my persona. Either way, a very solid and "fooling" effect.

Robert Sixx, you also get a blank face card so you can customise the last card if you wanted to with a message or a sticker etc

The cards are made of a different type of card stock so will last a very long time.

It's actually based on my effect Chop The Monte (aka Nothing Is As It Seems) which in turn inspired John's effect, Chop Shop.

To be fair, I think Will created this independently but he very kindly contacted me and asked permission before he released it. I think it's a great concept and will play great for all audiences.

I got it today and it is so easy to do and a really nice kicker at the end. I will definitely perform this. The additional blank card is a nice touch too.

How did you manage to get a copy before it started officially shipping?

I don't know. I ordered it a while ago from magic tao and it arrived last week. My mate got his a day earlier so perhaps they shipped a bit sooner.

They must be low on stock then. It's currently on pre-order.

Who knows I'm afraid. I've always found tao to be very good so I'm surr they could answer any queries. Either way; its worth waiting for. I love it

I'm glad you guys like it, I think it's a great stand alone packet trick that can be performed anywhere, also thank you to Cameron for letting me release it.

IMHO, far better than socks, but I am sure, many will hate me for saying this, but below looks like a lot fun to me

RNK,
You are welcome.....
Alot of potential....
Imagine using a sponge ball and you can even remove the onion card and not show four at the end...
Show three the three loads in three cups which makes more sense to me anyways...
If people think socks is good, IMHO, this is far better.
