Levi, the issue could be the balls you are using. Airship Magic makes an adjustable ball that allows you to move the necessary piece and tune the ball into your cup.

Sorry Tom, I didn't see this until now for some reason.

Here we are 4 months down the road and lo and behold I'm doing a chop cup routine. I've been doing a very simple routine that I put together. It's short and sweet and is definitely a worker.

I have a TCC leather cup, selected moves I liked from a couple videos and use my billiard balls from my one cup routine as load balls.

I've been looking for more ideas and bought Jim Sisti's Working Professional's Chop Cup from Lybrary.com. I really like this routine and am going to see how it plays.

Thanks again Tom! Sorry I missed your message.

There used to be a YouTube video of Michael Daniels performing a two cups and balls routine. One of the cups is chopped. Does anyone know if Michael Daniels ever taught this routine on video or in a book?


I have just noticed your post and have now uploaded to Vimeo the video of my Two Cups and Balls routine that used to be on YouTube (I was permanently banned from YouTube several years ago- I was never told why and have no further recourse to appeal).

The video was made as a personal rehearsal aid over 40 years ago. I have never published the routine but there is nothing particularly original about it and it should be fairly easy to deconstuct. The only part that I can take any real credit for is the initial load.
