Ongoing evolution of a Cups routine.
https://youtu.be/utRB1UHZSD0
Did Vernon's routine for 25 years. Wasted a butt-ton of money on the cups you see in this video.
Just added the prelude. Modified some minutae on mechanics.
The journey weaves inextricably onward.

Thin Man Cups and Balls
Losing a butt-ton of weight made it so none of my coats fit. Gotta get those loads from somewhere?!

Re: GGG in Florida
Dates are:
January 5, 6, 7. The Millers have created another poster. Apparently. I'm now Sir Loin of Beef.
It's worth a trip to the website just to see the poster.

Re: Convention of the Damned!
Rosie and Tony are both huge movie poster aficionados. They've come up with Rosie-fied old movie posters for the GGG for several years. I'll dig through my old GGG files and post some more. The initial GGG posters were designed by Los Angeles artist and magician, Luis Solorzano. KG https://photos.ap...

Re: Golden Gate Gathering returns, but in a new place.
Convention was held. Covid greatly diminished attendance. We're hopeful next year will see a cessation of the virus, at least we hope we can gather without an omnipresent sense of trepidation. The convention was a very small, success. I hope you'll consider coming out to Florida, next January. Perfo...

On a second viewing, even though Al's referring to a human, not a diminuative child's toy. I get no evil intent. The sailor's being present, in the trick, makes me place all the blame on them.

Al, I only knew about this because I grew up where all of my classmates spoke Cantonese. As rowdy school children, we freely traded epithets. In the home of my first girlfriend, I referred to her as my little China Doll. Her father informed me, quite politely that he found the term offensive and tol...

Brad, China doll is a pejorative. Now, I am the least politically correct person on earth and easily the poster child for insensitivity.

Golden Gate Gathering returns, but in a new place.
I moved to Florida several years ago. I went back to San Francisco recently and put the GGG in my trunk and drove it to Florida. Kent, what the heck is the GGG? It was the Golden Gate Gathering. In Florida, that name is just wrong. So now we're the: Golden Gator Gathering! Or not. Smallish conventio...

Book made it to Florida. It makes for a darned fine Passover/Easter present.

Confusion quickly takes over. My routine has some extra elements that make it worse. Five ball routines, where most who've fallen into this rabbit-hole end up, are more trouble. The finest five ball routine I know is Harry Riser's in "Feints and Temps". I'd read through that one. My cups a...
