$1,000 Hat from doing the Cups and Balls

---

Jeff Black, "Hollywood's Favorite Magician," has been studying the cups and balls seriously for just about ten months. Whereas most magicians learn a variation of the Vernon routine as a jumping off point, Jeff dove into the deep end and synthesized ideas from many performers, including Cellini, Smayfer, Ammar, Williamson, Kaminskas, and myself. The result is an original routine with deliberate designs and decisions that emphasize clarity and effect. 
Although the roots of the routine are from "the streets" Jeff had mostly been performing it for friends and fellow magicians at jams, to get stage time and experience. His first professional performance of the full routine, pouch and all, was a special occasion. He got to help change a couple's life.
Jeff had invested a lot of time and money in developing his cups and balls act. He had just acquired the final piece of the puzzle for performing it at any venue he wanted. The Luxury Cups and Balls Pouch freed Jeff from having to wear special jackets or trousers. The classy ostrich and vachetta tanned pouch can be a self contained cups and balls act.
Equipped with the tools and skills of the trade, Jeff was able to deliver on a custom request from a client. They had him "street perform" on a pier as the sun set over the ocean. The client had Jeff produce a boxed ring at the end of his performance, so he could propose in a romantic and memorable way. The client's ideas for producing the ring box were impractical, but they were excited to learn that the box fit snugly under a cup. He used it as the last final load in the cups and balls.
For helping a couple transition to the next stage in their relationship, Jeff earned a cool grand in under fifteen minutes. An he'd tell you-- he couldn't have done it without his luxury cups and balls pouch.
