This might belong in the close-up department, but is/was there a book/booklet about tricks using paper cups?
Or a larger book that had a section on such, even at a beginners level?
Thanks.

Re: paper cups.
Of paper cups or cones?
Just the Ramsay routine that I recall. And a cute bit using a thread attaching a ball to the cup in an older book.
Dixie magic anyone?

Re: paper cups.
Sam Berland wrote an entire book called " Berland's Amazing Tricks With Paper Cups" .
I don't know if it's still in print. Last I looked it was still carried by Abbott's , so check with them or any other dealer with a large book selection (Hank Lee or Denny . H&R Books .)

One effect only
Ron Bauer's "Dixie" - Number 7 in his series of monographs.
"Dixie
Using faux antique keepsakes of the Confederacy, three Dixie Cups, and a completely worthless $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000+ bill, you perform a streamlined, fast and funny version of the "Cups and Balls." (You supply three Dixie cups and final cotton boll load. We provide Faux Civil War bills for photocopying."

Re: paper cups.
tabman's post reminded me of the Dixie Cup version of cups and balls published by Bruce Elliot in the venerable "Classic Secrets of Magic." --Asrah
