Making aluminum foil balls for cups and balls magic

Over the years, a number of magicians have contacted me with questions about making aluminum foil balls for the cups and balls.
In this video, I address the problems magicians have had in forming foil balls for long term use. I provide a 4 step process for making smooth and durable spherical balls using only foil and two cups.
Cellini used foil covered balls and Penn and Teller use foil balls in their respective routines. There are many advantages to it that you can discover for yourself once you've overcome the obstacle of making them.
Learn to vanish, produce, and transform the ball you've made in my book "Magic With Wands Volume 1" available here:

what cups do you use instead of the johnsons?

I regularly busked with Phoenix Cups from Tom Frank and stainless steel Paul Fox cups that Mad Jake Jr. spun a dozen sets of. Both have proven to be more drop - resistant than the JP cups and handle well.

what is the advantage of using aluminum balls?

@MakotoMagic Жыл бұрын

They don't bounce or roll too much, you can customize the size to suit your hands and cups, they're familiar objects, they have good visibility, and you can use them as a core for other balls, like a monkey fist knot. It's also somewhat traditional: Penn & Teller use aluminum balls, as did the late "king of the street magicians" Jim Cellini.
