Chop Cup Balls Large Yellow/Black by Leo Smetsers

Effect

The Chop Cup Balls Large Yellow/Black by Leo Smetsers are designed for use with a chop cup, a classic magic prop. The trick involves making balls appear, disappear, and multiply under the cup in impossible ways. The large yellow balls with black stitching provide high visibility, making the vanishes and reappearances even more striking for the audience.

Full Details

These balls are crafted for durability and visibility, with a bright yellow color and black stitching for contrast. They are larger than standard chop cup balls, making them easier for audiences to see from a distance. The set is often paired with Leo Smetsers' stainless steel or aluminum chop cup, which adds weight and stability to the routine. A final load ball can be used for a strong finish, allowing a surprise appearance of an unexpected object.

Who Should Consider the Trick

This product is ideal for magicians who perform table magic, close-up, or walk-around shows. It suits performers who want a visually clear and classic cup-and-ball routine without relying heavily on sleight of hand. The large size makes it great for restaurant performers or those working in well-lit environments.

Information on How Difficult It Is to Perform

The trick requires practice but is manageable for beginners due to the self-working nature of the chop cup. Advanced magicians can enhance the routine with additional sleights for more deceptive moments. The balls' size and weight make handling straightforward, reducing the need for fine motor precision.

What Magicians Say

AlakazamMagicUK highlights the quality of Leo Smetsers' chop cup props, calling the stainless steel version "world class" and praising the weight and durability. They describe the large yellow balls as "absolutely brilliant" for visibility and classic appeal. The team also notes that the chop cup routine works well in table magic settings, where most of the action happens above the table for better audience engagement.

Harry from AlakazamMagicUK suggests pairing the chop cup with a Ronjo Magic mini mat to define the performance space, enhancing the overall presentation. The combination of the chop cup, balls, and a final load creates a strong closing effect that leaves a lasting impression.

The product is recommended for magicians looking for a reliable, visually clear, and engaging prop for their close-up or table magic sets.
