Cup And Dice By Ethan Yip

Cup and Dice by Ethan Yip - The Classic Reinvented for Modern Performers

The cups and balls routine is timeless. It's also limited by tables, angles, and props that scream "magic trick." Until now.

Cup and Dice is a revolutionary reimagining of this beloved classic, engineered from the ground up to eliminate every traditional limitation while amplifying the astonishment.

Freedom to Perform Anywhere
No table needed. No angle worries. No restrictions. This effect happens entirely in your spectators' hands, giving you the freedom to perform in any environment - from crowded bars to outdoor events to intimate living rooms.

Created and battle-tested by Ethan Yip across over 1,000 live performances, Cup and Dice represents years of real-world refinement. This isn't theory. This is a proven worker that delivers explosive reactions night after night.

The Effect
Small dice vanish, penetrate, and transpose in increasingly impossible ways. The magic builds naturally, pulling your audience deeper into the mystery with each phase. Then comes the stunning climax - two large wooden dice impossibly appear from nowhere, creating a visual finale that leaves jaws on the floor.

No magnets. No switches. Just pure, clean magic that looks exactly as impossible as it should.

The Secret Weapon
At the heart of this effect is a specially engineered cup featuring a hidden internal structure that gives you seamless control throughout the entire routine. The design allows for natural, confident handling that feels right in your hands and looks completely innocent to spectators.

Because the props appear to be ordinary dice (not playing cards, not silk scarves, just regular dice), your audience's guard drops immediately. Dice are familiar. Unthreatening. Ordinary. Which makes the impossible moments that follow even more devastating.

Learn from a Master
Ethan Yip's comprehensive online teaching goes far beyond showing you the moves. You'll discover the performance theory, timing nuances, and audience management techniques refined over 1,000 shows. These are the insights that separate a good trick from a professional reputation-maker.

You'll understand not just how to do it, but when to pause, where to build tension, and how to maximize every moment for maximum impact. This is the difference between learning moves and learning to perform.

Why Cup and Dice Works
Traditional cups and balls routines are beautiful but impractical for many real-world performing situations. They require tables, careful angle management, and props that telegraph "magic show" the moment you bring them out.

Cup and Dice solves all of this. It's designed for the working performer who needs effects that play anywhere, anytime, with complete confidence. Whether you're doing walkaround magic at a wedding, close-up at a table, or performing street magic, this routine adapts perfectly to your environment.
