This is the effect that started it all... The cups and balls, but in a larger than average size -- these cups are 3" in diameter at the mouth, and 4" tall.   This increases the visibility, and the larger size, when coupled with the brass composition of the cups makes for an impressive display indeed!   If you do large final loads, they can really be large with these cups!

The three cups come complete with four crochet balls, and a knit carrying bag that can also be incorporated into the routine, (ala Larry Jennings' Chop routine if you like).  The 14 page booklet that comes with the set teaches a simple non-sleight routine, plus an advanced routine with all the classic phases and climax loads.

IMPORTANT -- although this Cups and Balls set is "new" (i.e. never previously sold or used), the cups so show some darker discoloration spots and streaks on the brass.  I do not think this will buff out or come off with brass polish, but rather is a permanent "patina".   I tried to show an example of the dark spots/streaks in the close-up photo.   Yes, it does detract from the beauty of the cups, but also gives them an older "antique" look, so for a lay audience, it does not really detract from the impressive impact these big cups have.

This set of cups and balls normally sells for about $65, but because of the darkened spots on the cups, I will price this set much lower.

(The deck of cards in the photo is just there so you get a quick sense of size scale for these big cups -- the cards are not needed for the trick, and are not included, of course)
