The Mendoza Cups and Balls Routine Plus Sequel by John Mendoza (Book)

August 17, 2011 by · Leave a Comment 

AN OUTSTANDING ROUTINE WITH MORRISSEYS – CHOP CUPS amp 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.
