The Paul Fox "Cups N Balls" were and still are consid-ered by many magicians, performers, collectors and hobbyists to be the finest sets ever made. Today, authentic Paul Fox cups bring $400 and up in price. Now, there is a set to match and, some might say, surpass these legendary cups. The Gold Cups are not spun, they are computer machine cut from a solid hunk of brass stock. They look like gold and ring like bells when tapped with a wand. Each cup is perfect and identical in balance and weight (6-oz). Their shape and size allow you to perform the "Elevator Move" and all the other types of sleights and moves possible with cups. These cups feel wonderful in the performer’s hands. They can cover most any type of final load and nest naturally on top of each other. Set is complete with crochet balls. Cups weigh approx. 1 lb. and 3 ounces

Johnson Products has done to the Cups and Balls what they did to gimmicked coins thirty-five years ago. They have produced a piece of apparatus that will undoubtedly become the industry standard. They could not have made these cups a few years ago but with the computerized machines they now use to make precision parts for the aerospace industry, Johnson Products is able to turn a 6 1/2 pound piece of solid brass into the most perfectly balanced, maximum capacity, exquisitely finished cup you have ever seen. And because a computer is doing most of the work, the JP Cups can be offered at a very reasonable price. Everyone who has seen the new JP Cups agrees: they truly are the best cups at the best price. Included are four, hand-crocheted cork balls and a handsome, black velvet carrying bag.
