 CUPS,
CUPS, CUPS
At last a book has been
written that not only details a variety of Cups & Balls
moves, but the how and why of their working. Penned by Merlyn T.
Shute, his analytical method of teaching (which is now becoming
widely recognized) makes learning easier, quicker and more
enjoyable.
This treatise explains
essential principles such as: One Ahead, Ye Olde Shelle Game, Another
Opening, Before the Beginning, The Slip and Force Opening, And Then
There Were Three, Have Cup Will Travel. These basics will allow the
performer to personalize his VERY OWN ROUTINE. Visual flourishes
such as The Penetrating Cups and Wand Thru Cup, coupled with the
numerous variations, tips and climaxes that are explored make this a
thought provoking book that will enlighten the beginner and even the
seasoned pro!
To ‘cup it off’
Merlyn’s writing is accompanied by Sid Lorraine’s precise
illustrations
thereby insuring clear easy instruction every time.
45 pages of text, saddle
stitch with stiff paper cover. Cover design by Sid Lorraine.
This book will be a
valuable addition to Cup & Ball literature as it covers an area
sadly neglected.
