    I own the same leather cup, brown version, and luckily my original ball is good enough.
    I also own the small ickle pickle cup, but I never thought of combining the two cups - that's a nice idea, so thanks a lot!
    And I own the large ickle pickle cup which is big enough to hold a full size 7.5 cm baseball. I found some very cheap ones with nothing printed on them that look exactly like the Smetsers balls, but the size difference is really baffling. As a gag I use a ball pump to pretend to very quickly pump up the small ball through the cup.

    Nice vid. Very informative.
    I have a set of those Legend copper cups I bought from you. I just realized that I would happily have paid an extra upcharge for one, or better yet all three of those cups to be gimmicked like this.
    The complexities of Cups and Balls routines exponentially higher number of routines I could do would offset almost any additional cost.

    Awesome Routine. Hello Don. I guess First…Are you still there ? I’m a New subscriber (I’m Kevin, the Wheelchair M.P.) as well as a 100% Disabled Vet. (Army). I felt Magic would be a way to meet people, maybe even a woman who sees me and not my wheelchair. I’ve jumped into magic rather quickly…I’ve purchased about $2,000 in tricks and books (I haven’t even opened nor tried a trick yet. Being in a wheelchair I can’t use my pockets so I’m hoping to “Tweak” the tricks so I can still do it effectively.

    Do you use Wilbur set on the street? I was really excited and bought them but find the final load holdouts just are no good on the pitch. Do you use a different holdout? Hoping my new ambitious card parlour plus pouch can hold them upright. This has been one of my favorite posts you've made, now if we can only get a wand manipulation video on par with it....

      @@DougConn If you wanna teach just write a book or publish a DVD or make private lessons. It's the only way people with serious intentions will learn. You have to understand that for every 10 magi who watch your videos there are at least 3 people who are not interested in learning tricks. For those 3 people you are just revealing something they don't want to see, ruining their experiences AND the spoilering the art of magic itself. Think about it, I'll wait for your kind reply.
