Amazing Coffee Cups and Beans (Cups and Balls)
Amazing Coffee Cups and Beans (Cups and Balls)











The biggest problem with the Cups and Balls has finally been solved.
Trust us, we LOVE the Cups and Balls. It's undoubtedly one of the best magic tricks ever created. Yet, at the end of the day, we can't deny that the props have really started to feel dated. They often look like magic props, which can sometimes make a modern audience feel disconnected from a routine and reduce a piece of amazing magic theater down to a simple magic trick.
More than a decade in development, Adam Wilber and Vulpine Creations have flipped the Cups and Balls on its head with the “Amazing Coffee Cups and Beans.” This professional quality set comes with everything you need to perform the most intriguing and relatable take on the Cups and Balls we’ve ever seen. It was one of the most talked about releases at the Blackpool Magic Convention and now it’s available at Vanishing Inc. in EXTREMELY LIMITED QUANTITIES.
What is it?
“Amazing Coffee Cups and Beans” is a Cups and Balls set unlike anything you’ve ever seen. It’s the best Cups and Balls routine for anything from close up magic and street magic to parlor and stage magic. Every single detail from the size and shape of the props, to their texture and even the sound they make has been carefully analyzed. No detail has been spared.
The Cups
The star of this one-of-a-kind release is the set of three normal-looking coffee cups that have been secretly shimmed to perfection. Nobody will ever suspect they are anything more than ordinary coffee cups. While they may look like regular ceramic mugs though, they’re actually constructed from super durable restaurant-grade plastic that is built to withstand the bumps and bruises of continued performances by a working magician.
The Beans
These cups stack perfectly, easily nesting the coffee beans inside. Those beans, by the way, are specially-made from a semi-soft rubber that handles like a dream. One of the beans has even been shimmed with the perfect amount of magnetism. You’ll never have to slam the cup to dislodge it. Fumbling your big finale is also a thing of the past because the three large final load coffee beans fit your hand like a glove.
The Loading System
You’ll also love the innovative, lightning-quick magnetic loading system that enables you to perform shocking coffee bean explosion loads and a jaw-dropping liquid load production. Each set comes with three metal holdouts that can easily slide under a close-up mat or attach to a performing surface, giving you quick and discrete access to the magnetic loading system.
Don’t want to use coffee beans? You can easily replace them with sugar cubes, tea bags or whatever you’d like. Pack everything into the custom travel bag and you’re good to go. You can easily take “Amazing Coffee Cups and Beans” with you to any performance.

Customer reviews for Amazing Coffee Cups and Beans (Cups and Balls)
I had one small issue that Adam Wilber took care of right away.
Great product!
Great service!
Gazzo and Dai have always been, to me, the gold standard on how to perform this classic of magic. But now I’m thrilled to say that I can add Adam to this group of esteemed magicians’ take on this plot.
He has done more than just make this routine modern and unique, he has made the relevance of connecting with your audience, with something they can immediately relate to, the top priority. For truthfully, that’s what it’s all about in the endgame for us as performers. Even if your audience are not fans of coffee, they can look at the routine and connect immediately with the magician performing it for them.
Yes. As with any quality routine it will take some major practice to adjusting and adapting to this new variation. But the props you are provided with are top notch. High quality, fun, and diabolically delicious!
I’ve only had this kit for less than a day and can already find my mind devising interesting and exciting new plots to throw in and mix up my show with.
Yes. It’s pricey. But the price you pay for such a phenomenal kit of prestidigitation is an investment worth making. The money is nothing compared to the plethora of possibilities at your disposal.
I can already see this hard earned money that’s I’ve spent being paid back to me in spades, clubs, diamonds, hearts, &, of course, green beans ten times over. I plan on using these props for an upcoming corporate gig I have in a week. And I’m beyond excited to see the reactions I will get!
Thank you, Adam and Vulpine, for another incredible creation!! Keep on moving forward and doing what you do so well!!!
What I was directly in love is this incredible ending of the routine that puts the world of cups & balls far beyond. The product is very well done, everything is so greatly designed and there's some "extra stuff" to make it very easy to load the cups. Conclusion: I'm much happier than I was before my purchase :-D
Final load system is super clever, though I did need to source plastic beans, and you have to be careful loading them so you don't prematurely eject (if you get me!)
The tutorial(s) are incredibly thorough and add new ideas and angles to a magic classic, which I was pleasantly surprised by.

Christian asks: How many small beans are there?”not including the shimmed one”
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:You receive 3 small beans, one of these is gimmicked
Christian asks: I’m really interested in this product and I was wondering if the cup and shimmed bean are magnetic or do I have to get a pk ring
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:No need for a PK ring.
Christian asks: Can we get vulpine mats like the one in the video?
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:Unfortunately those are not available.
Christian asks: Does it come with beans for the bean explosion at the end?
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:No, you provide your own for that.
Christian asks: Is there a way to explain the large beans?
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:I got these made so you could see them better.
Robert asks: I'm really interested in this -- as usual with Adam & Vulpine's creations. Couple questions; 1. One questioner mentioned having to source plastic beans. Is this for the small bean explosion and, if so, is a source provided? 2. Another question I saw was about altering a table to accommodate the hold-out. Is that true? It looks like it might sit under the close up mat and hang below the back of the table but I wonder what kind of weight it requires to hold it in place. I typically use a Ron Bell table. Would that be an issue? 3. Regarding the oversized beans (used at balls), is there an explanation for that in the routines? They obviously look comically large but wondering if there is a built-in justification or not. Thanks!
- 1. Pip responds:I'd use regular beans. You should not have to altar the table at all. Not sure on 3. You might want to reach out to Adam at adam@adamwilber.com
Jack asks: Hi, what do these sets include???
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:You receive the cups, beans, three metal holdouts, travel bag, some objects are gimmicked to make the routine work
Stanley asks: Hey adam. Are you ever going to sell those vulpine close-up mats?
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:This might be something you have to ask Adam directly
Rodrigo asks: Hi in the package come only 1 or 3 metal pieces for the final load, or the 3 cups fits in the one metal piece?
- 1. Jim responds:Three.
Phil asks: I can't write a review, cause I bought this from another source. But, this is very well made. A 3-1/2 hour tutorial is extensive. Adam knocks it out of the park with all the details he goes over. There's also many more videos from other artists sharing their routine. One question, is it Fundamentals or Fundermentals? Did you notice the spelling in the video? The items are well made and the loading is super quiet. All you need to supply are the beans and liquid for the final load. Of course, you'll need a close up mat and table too.
- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! What an observant eye to have caught Fundermentals :)
