THE MENDOZA CUPS
AND BALLS
ROUTINE
AN OUTSTANDING ROUTINE WITH
“MORRISSEY’S - CHOP CUPS & BALLS-COMBINATION”
As featured by John
F. Mendoza in his lecture tours throughout North America and Europe.
Audience-tested magic that has amazed both magicians and laymen----A WINNING
ROUTINE!
There are many
points in favour of this routine. First, it does away with any vanishes that
occur by placing the ball from one hand into the other. Secondly, the antics of
the balls are genuinely surprising and unexpected. There are no preliminaries to
suggest to the spectators what the next effect might be. The big loads take
place separately and throughout the routine. They are all not loaded at the end
of the routine. It has a logical theme to account for the loading, in that, you
make the spectator think that you are trying to make it easier for him to follow
by using less cups and less balls each time (you begin with three cups, cut down
to two and end up using only one). Thirdly, the routine is easy. Finally, the
sleights are kept to a minimum and the subtlety of the Cups and Balls and Chop
Cup Combination set is employed. Even though mechanical means are employed, you
will be credited for a high degree of skill.
WHAT THEY SAY:
ED MARLO - “With
the MENDOZA ROUTINE and the required set of cups you will possess a
classic effect that will entertain and surprise both laymen and magicians.”
JON RACHERBAUMER
- “Those looking for something will find this nicely wrought booklet a worthy
addition to the literature on Cups & Balls. Every serious student of
magic should add this book to his library.”
THE MENDOZA CUPS
AND BALLS ROUTINE--16 printed pages, 27 clear illustrations.
For
those who own
“MORRISSEY’S CHOP CUPS
& BALLS-COMBINATION”, this booklet is a must.
SEQUEL TO THE
MENDOZA CUPS AND BALLS ROUTINE

outstanding additions to the original routine. All of the new moves and sleights
