Jim Ryan Close-up Sreries #4 "The Famous Cups & Balls Routine"

by Phil Willmarth

This was the routine that Jim used to close his close up performances for he found that he could not top it. Laymen scream with laughter and amazement and magicians come back time and time again trying in vain to figure it out.

  • Jim Ryan's Classic Cups and Balls Routine:  Introduction
  • The Little Finger Steal
  • Slide Steal
  • Phase One - Production of Balls, Display of Cups
  • Phase Two - Two Balls Penetrate the Center Cup

Comments: Cover photo was taken by Tom Mullica, others by Rick Bamman. Black &White photo illustrated. Mr. Ryan used tapered cups (Ireland style cups) three sponge balls (Goshman brand will work), a carpet close-up pad, 3 load balls, and a purse frame.

 

Please note: The copies we have have were stored in Phil Willmarth's basement for many years. They are from the only printing we are aware of in 1981. The booklets do show some age. As such the booklet's covers you receive may be slightly discolored or fading and the staples may be rusty. Otherwise the booklets are complete and very readable.

 

Note of Interest: The Jim Ryan Close Up Series had five books: 1 - Sensational Stunners; 2 - Entertaining Card Quickies (out of print) 3 - Classic Card Routines; 4 - The Famous Cups and Balls Routine; and (not numbered) James P. Ryan Lecture Notes  on Bar Magic (out of print).
