.EffectThe performer places a cup on the table and covers the opening with a piece of card.Three invisible coloured balls are tipped from the cup and placed in line on the table(indulge me!) The spectator is offered a free choice of any ball; the other two areeliminated.The performer then causes the spectator s selection to materialise, and thenlikewise with the other two balls which were discarded.RequirementsA Chop-Cup (although I prefer to use a Chop-Mug which Ifeel looks more natural and less suspicious).You will also require three coloured balls (I use ¾ crochetballs), say, red, blue and yellow, one of which is magneticand can be retained in the cup (which itself, of course isalso fitted with a magnet).Let s assume that the red ballyou re using is magnetic.You will also need a piece ofcard (or a playing card, or indeed anything whichadequately covers the mouth of the cup).Finally, you should be wearing a jacket, the two side outerpockets of which should be empty.Set UpPlace the red (magnetic) ball into the cup and cover the mouth with the card.This givesthe impression of being done to show that you cannot tamper with anything.In reality, it isdone to stop any spectator inadvertently getting a flash of the ball inside the cup.Place say the blue ball into your right outer jacket pocket.The yellow ball should be classic palmed in your right hand. Working1.Have an assisting spectator sat in front of you.Place the covered cup onto the left sideof your table.Remember not to flash the classic palmed ball in your right hand throughoutthis routine.Tell the spectator that you will test his powers of concentration, and that thecup holds three invisible balls.2.Your left hand removes the card from the cup and tables it, then turns the cup (withoutflashing the inside) to apparently tip the three balls onto the table.Place the cup and cardback in its original state (card on top of upright cup).Your right hand places the invisibleballs in a row on the table (remember not to flash the palmed ball in your right hand).3.Look at the spectator and say: Three balls& a red one, a blue and a yellow or& ifyou re colour blind& this one s a grey, this one s a dark grey and this one s ablack! As you say the above, you point to each invisible ball in turn, and for the sake ofcontinuity, remember which, colour wise, is which& does that make sense?4.Tell the spectator to select one of the balls.Whatever he says, then the outcome will bedictated by his response.In other words, we will be using Equivoque technique.Here show:If he chooses the red ball, then, with your right hand, pretend to pick it up, as your lefthand removes and retains the card from the cup. Place the red ball into the cup andreplace the card on top, as you say, Your choice& the red ball& which I ll isolate inhere.Now this doesn t mean much to you& but it s stuff like this that got me out ofthe army! You chose the red ball, therefore you are discarding the blue and theyellow, so I ll place them in this pocket. Pretend to pick up the blue and yellow balltogether and place them into your outer right jacket pocket and ditch the palmed ball in theprocess.Tell the spectator to visualise the yellow and blue balls in your pocket, and the red ballinside the cup.You then say, Let s see how you ve done? Show your left hand emptyand pull out the inside of your outer left jacket pocket, as you say, Just to show youthat there s nothing in here. Now point to your outer right jacket pocket and say, Ifyour imagination has been strong enough, then in here we should have a yellowball and a blue ball. Show your right hand empty, and reach inside this pocket andproduce the two balls, placing them on the table.Let this register for a few beats, and then show your right hand empty again, as your lefthand removes the card and tables it.Your right hand now inverts the cup and tables itwith enough pressure to dislodge the magnetic red) ball inside.After a few beats, fortheatrical suspense, your right hand raises the cup to reveal the red ball.Show the cupempty and congratulate the spectator on his exceptional imagination! Drop all three ballsinto the cup to finish.5.If the spectator initially selects the yellow (palmed) ball, then pretend to pick up theyellow ball from the table, as your left hand removes and retains the card, as the righthand places the invisible ball into the cup.Your right hand actually dips inside the cup,and the backs of your right fingers provide cover as the palmed ball is secretly allowed toslide down the palm, and is trapped by the thumb and fingertips which ease it onto the redball already inside the cup.This action will eliminate the possibility of the palmed ball talking against the other ball, or against the inside of the cup.(See alternative handlingfor the yellow ball at the end).Your right hand is now removed from the cup as your left hand replaces the card on top ofthe cup again.Tell the spectator that as he s chosen the yellow ball, then the red and blue balls need tobe discarded.Tell him to visualise the disintegration of both those balls, so that all remainsis the yellow ball.Now tell him to concentrate on the cup and to visualise the yellow ballinside it.Now show your right hand empty, as your left hand removes, and tables the cardfrom the cup.Your right hand picks up the cup and inverts it, mouth towards you (so asnot to flash the red ball already inside).The yellow ball falls to the table.Let this register for a few beats, then pick up the yellow ball with your left hand, as yourright hand turns the cup the right way up again (don t forget to turn the mouth of the cuptowards yourself as you do).Drop the yellow ball back into the cup.Cover the cup withthe card and you re done.6.If the spectator initially selects the blue ball, then pretend to pick up the red and yellowballs from the table, as you say: So& you don t want the red and yellow balls? When heconfirms this, you pretend to discard both these balls into the cup.Your left hand removesand retains the card, as your right hand eases (as before), the yellow ball into the cup.Itthen picks up the invisible red ball and places it into the cup,Duplicating your previous actions of dipping the hand into the cup in order to maintaincontinuity.Your left hand now replaces the card on top of the cup.Show your right hand empty, as it picks up the invisible blue ball from the table, andplaces it into your outer right jacket pocket.Now tell the spectator to visualise the red andyellow balls inside the cup.After a few beats, your left hand removes and tables the card,as your right hand inverts the cup onto the table with enough pressure to dislodge themagnetic (red) ball [ Pobierz caÅ‚ość w formacie PDF ]
