College Dropout by Juan Capilla & Alex Latorre

A red plastic party cup. A ping pong ball. A full can of beer that appears from absolutely nowhere. This is the Chop Cup routine that nobody at the party will ever see coming.

College Dropout takes one of magic's most beloved classic tricks and wraps it in the most universally recognized prop on a college campus. The result is a close-up magic routine that gets screams, laughs, and genuinely baffled looks, all in the same performance.

Here's how it plays out: you introduce a red party cup, a ping pong ball, and the idea of magic beer pong. Simple enough, right? Except the ball keeps doing things it absolutely shouldn't. You put it in your pocket, it reappears under the cup. It shows up on top. It defies everything your audience thought they understood about physics.

Then comes the kicker. You remind them this isn't really about the ball. It's about the drinks. You lift the cup, and sitting right there underneath it is a full, real, ice-cold can of beer ready to crack open and share with the crowd.

The props are large, colorful, and completely innocent-looking, which makes the secret inside them all the more brilliant. The specially designed cup is big enough to load any standard 12oz can, making the finale feel genuinely impossible. Whether you're working close-up, on a parlor stage, or at a packed house party, College Dropout plays huge in any setting.

Juan and Alex teach the full routine in a clear, easy-to-follow way. If you've never performed a Chop Cup before, this is the perfect entry point. If you already have one in your repertoire, this is the version that actually fits the real world you perform in.

What's included:

Special gimmicked red party cup
