The Chop Tube by Dave Loosley - The Chop Cup Reimagined

What if the Chop Cup didn't look like a Chop Cup? What if it was elegant, mysterious, and completely unexpected?

The Chop Tube is Dave Loosley's bold reimagining of a magic classic. This isn't just another variation - it's a complete aesthetic revolution that transforms how audiences perceive this beloved effect.

A Stunning Visual Departure
Forget the traditional cup. The Chop Tube features a tall, slender, upright leather tube that breaks completely from convention. Handcrafted from genuine leather with meticulous stitching, this elegant prop can be presented as a die-stacking tube, a vintage glasses case, or even a medieval scroll holder, depending on your performance style.

The moment audiences see it, their expectations shift. It doesn't look like a magic prop - which makes the impossibilities that follow even more devastating.

The Effect
Six or more small leather balls appear, vanish, and multiply in an impossible sequence. They materialize from nowhere with stunning clarity. In one incredible phase, you can produce three balls consecutively without any top loading.

For the grand finale, a super-sized ball impossibly appears from inside the tube. Then comes the kicker - you pass a wand completely through the tube to prove it's entirely empty. Clean, visual, and absolutely impossible.

Revolutionary Non-Magnetic Design
Here's where The Chop Tube truly innovates. Unlike traditional Chop Cups that rely on magnets, this features an entirely new non-magnetic structure. This opens up fresh handling possibilities and eliminates any concerns about magnetic interference or detection.

Despite being slightly narrower than most traditional Chop Cups, the handling feels comfortable and natural once you get familiar with it. The sleights flow smoothly and the tall design actually enhances the visual impact of every production.

Easy to Learn, Impossible to Figure Out
Dave Loosley has engineered this for practical performance. The methods are clean and learnable, but the effect is baffling. You'll be producing multiple balls with confidence after just a few practice sessions.

The included instructional video goes deep. Dave shares his complete creative process, refined techniques, and his full performance routine. You're not just learning moves - you're learning how to present this effect for maximum impact.

Versatile Performance Piece
The Chop Tube works beautifully in both close-up and parlor settings. The tall, elegant design plays well from multiple angles and the visual nature of the productions ensures everyone can see the magic clearly.

Whether you're performing at a table, on stage, or in a walkaround situation, The Chop Tube adapts to your environment. The sophisticated aesthetic elevates any performance and gives you endless storytelling opportunities.

Perfect For:

Magicians seeking fresh takes on classic effects

Close-up performers wanting visually striking routines

Parlor magicians needing angle-friendly material

Anyone who loves elegant, handcrafted magic props

Why Performers Love The Chop Tube
Traditional Chop Cups are brilliant but instantly recognizable. The moment audiences see that familiar cup shape, they know something magnetic is happening. The Chop Tube sidesteps all of that. Its unique appearance keeps audiences guessing while you perform miracles right in front of them.

Plus, the handcrafted leather construction gives it a premium feel that elevates your entire act. This isn't a plastic gimmick - it's a beautiful prop you'll be proud to perform with.
