Ball Invisibly Jumps Under A Cup

Here is an easy and enjoyable party trick to try with a paper cup and a small ball. A golf ball is used in this example but a ping pong ball would work equally well

Here we can see an example of the trick being performed

Demonstration of an easy magic trick being performed with a cup and ball.

 

What You Will Need :-

A paper cup

A pair of scissors ( this bit is best left for adults to do )

A small ball

Items need to perform the cup and ball magic trick.

 

How Its Done :-

First of all to prepare for the trick we will need to cut a small flap in the side of the cup, near the base as shown in this photo.

A small flap needs to be made near the bottom of the cup.

All you need to do now is when you are seen to be tipping up the cup to pour the ball into your other hand, push your thumb through the flap so that the ball, stays in the cup.

Thumb is pushed through flap to hold the ball in place.

You continue to make the motions as if you have emptied the ball into your other hand. You then make the ball appear to have invisibly dissolved into thin air.

You are now ready for the surprise reveal, where you lift up the cup to show that the ball has mysteriously reappeared under it.

Accept your applause as your audience jumps for joy.
