right-side-up in three movements, turning only two cups with each move. First, turn cups two and three over, then turn

cups one and three over, and nally turn cups one and two over. All the cups are now right-side-up!

Let a spectator then try the trick. Set up the cups. The spectator will not understand why they cannot put the cups bottom-

up in three movements. This is because they will not realize that you have set the cups up differently than you had set

them up for yourself. Even if they follow your moves exactly, the three cups end up bottom-down…

THE BALANCING GLASS

Take two playing cards from a regular deck (preferably the jokers) so as not to ruin the cards in your magic set. Before

the trick fold one of the cards on the centre line and glue one half against the back of the other card so it forms a ‘ap’.

As you pick up the glass lled with water and place it on top of the card, open the ap on the back of the card making a

“T” shape. At the end of the performance you can show the audience the “card” by pressing the ap against the back.

THE BALANCING GLASS ON THE TABLE

Challenge a spectator to balance a glass on its edge, as shown in the picture four. They will not be able to do so, but you

can, because you have secretly placed a match or a small bead under the tablecloth. This little elevation is sufcient to

balance the glass as illustrated. Try it and after some practice you will master the effect and the trick will work every time.

GLASS THROUGH THE TABLE

To perform this trick you have to be seated at a table, and the spectator should be seated at the same table, just in front of

you for the best result. Place a coin in front of you at about 30 cm from the edge of the table. Now cover the coin with an

upside-down glass. Place two sheets paper on top of each other and cover the glass. Explain that the light could damage

the coin so you have to cover it. Now with both hands pull the papers downward around the glass, then twist the papers

with one hand against the sides of the glass. This will form the shape of the glass. Now lift both the paper and glass so

the audience can be assured that the coin is still there. Cover the coin again and explain that you will be able to make the

coin vanish and pass through the table. Make some magical gestures and lift the glass. Then announce that today you

are lacking concentration. Pick up the coin and make remarks like “I have had a bad day”, at the same time your right

hand moves to the edge of the table holding the glass covered with the papers. All you have to do now is just let the glass

slide into your lap; the papers will keep the shape of the glass, creating the illusion that the glass is still there. Make sure

that you do not let the glass roll onto the oor. Now explain that you forgot to strike the glass, then raise your hand and

smash the papers. What happened to the glass? You can now say that instead of the coin the glass has passed through

the table.

LINKING RINGS - THE BASIC TRICKS

Show the audience the three solid rings one after the other. In this trick two of the rings will magically become linked

together. However that is not all: slowly, one after another, all the rings become free…

For this trick you need the three rings. One of these rings has a secret opening. (This ring is called the ‘key’ ring.) With

this set of three rings you are ready for the performance. It will be necessary to practice this trick several times before

you perform it. The best way is to practice in front of a mirror, so that you can see and control all the movements. Show

the three rings in the following way: rst one normal ring. Take this ring in your left hand between your thumb, forenger,
