Description

Cup and Dice by Magic’s Express — Performed by Ethan Yip

Cup and Dice is a revolutionary evolution of the classic Cup and Ball routine — created by Magic’s Express and performed by Ethan Yip. This innovative effect removes traditional limitations, allowing magicians to perform freely and confidently in any environment.

Effect / Application

With Cup and Dice, the magic happens directly in the spectator’s hands. The specially engineered cup features a hidden internal structure that allows seamless control of the dice. Spectators can hold ordinary-looking dice — they vanish, reappear, or magically move inside the cup.

The routine builds naturally to a visual and tactile climax: two large wooden dice appear magically from inside the cup, surprising your audience and giving them a direct, hands-on experience of the magic. Because the props look ordinary, spectators lower their guard, making the deception even stronger. The fast-paced routine keeps audiences captivated, making it ideal for modern close-up and walk-around performances.
