paper cups.

[Guest]

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.

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?

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 .)

i remember seeing some paper cup magic in one of the issues of the phoenix (bruce elliott) but i dont have them around anymore to check to see which one. lots of close up magic in the bound versions of the phoenix.

Gene Gloye had a book of magic with paper cups also.

Hey everybody, thank you for your responses, and I will check them out!
If anybody else has some other references/sources, please let me know.

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."

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
