To maximize results, Michael Ammar separated all the fundamental information into an appropriate series of layers. Each layer is revealed in the pattern perfect for your ever-evolving level of understanding, ability and confidence. As each new branch of knowledge grows, a routine is taught which puts that information into current context. Along the way special attention is placed on those four highly transferable skills which grows stronger as you study the Cups and Balls: Acting, Timing, Routining, and Misdirection.

This complete understanding approach to building your foundation gives you the tools, building blocks, and the blueprints to build any type of Cups and Balls routine you might ever need!

You’ll discover classic wand moves every sleight-of-hand performer should know, opening positions and sequences, body sequences, secret loading sequences, as well as final rhythms that create the powerful misdirection to cover your final loads. Then you will see the real work on Mastering the Final Load.

Finally the Dai Vernon routine, considered the most influential Cups and Balls routine of this century, is taught, dissected and analyzed. There has never been a more complete or more effective way to discover the fascinating secrets of this enduring classic.
