Full Details

The ReUsaBall Cup comes with a reusable coffee cup, a lid, and gimmicks that allow for sleight-of-hand moves. The magician can customize the routine, adding elements like cane productions and split vanishes. The standard routine includes loading and vanishing a ball, manipulating straws, and finishing with a confetti production. The cup can be dressed with a branded sleeve (like Costa Coffee) for added realism.

Who Should Consider the Trick

This trick is ideal for family entertainers, kid show performers, and magicians who enjoy visually engaging routines. It suits those who like to build custom acts with music and dynamic movements. Performers who appreciate creative props and modern twists on classic magic will find this appealing.

Difficulty

The ReUsaBall Cup requires practice to master the sleights and timing. Some moves, like the hand-to-hand ball transfer, need larger hands, making it slightly challenging for younger magicians. Angles must be managed, especially when tilting the cup to hide gimmicks. The routine is adaptable, allowing performers to adjust based on skill level.
