Balls and other objects not only vanish and mysteriously appear from under a cup, as well as pass through its bottom ala traditional chop cup, but jump from the cup, move on their own and levitate on the sides of the cup. It’s an innovative and original routine that is based on some clever concepts and brilliant technical design.Animated Chop CupThe routine will definitely appeal to magicians who can admire the thinking, design and mechanics behind the effect and want to learn some concepts that allowed Copin to create an innovative new level of magic.My favorite part of the routine was when Copin performed the traditional “Charlie Miller” penetration where a ball is dropped into a cup and falls through the bottom. But in Copin’s routine, the “Charlie Miller” move is reversed and the ball jumps back up. There was also a brilliant use of thread that allows a ball to vanish in a traditional way, but be immediately reproduced.
