Cups and Balls: Three Penetrations with Little Balls

Three small balls appear to successively penetrate through cups and gather underneath them. Julio Ribera performs the effect and explains the setup and the three repetitions of the sequence.

The work begins with the arrangement of the props and continues with two ways to place the cups. One requires holding the set with one hand; the other distributes the actions on the table to make handling easier. The explanation allows you to choose based on your comfort and hand size.

Rhythm uniformity receives specific attention. Julio compares what happens if only one sleight is accelerated and proposes maintaining the same appearance with each cup. Afterwards, it reviews how to link the penetrations and how to gather the props when finishing.

You need three cups that allow the handling shown, four compatible small balls, and a table. The wand is optional. No specific brand or commercial set is required.

The lesson develops this basic penetration routine. It does not include large final loads or a complete explanation of Vernon's classic routine.
