College Dropout by Juan Capilla & Alex Latorre

"I know a thing or two about chop cups and college dropout will slay the party animals out there. It’s fresh, it’s fun, it’s fantastic!" - Michael Kaminskas

"Does not get more organic than this! Wish I had thought of it!" - David Jonathan

"College Dropout takes a classic of magic and gives it a hook that many can relate to. It's an organic and logical prop loaded with magic" - Gwilym Bugeja

This Chop Cup is going to make you the life of the party! Based on the most recognizable party cup in the world, the red plastic party cup, you’re going to be getting screams of laughter and delight when you make a ping pong ball appear, disappear, and finally produce a full-sized can of beer from nowhere!

Here’s what happens:

1. You introduce a ping pong ball, a red plastic cup, and the concept of magic beer pong. They have to guess if the ball is under the cup or in your pocket.

2. Even though you clearly put the ball in your pocket, it keeps reappearing under the cup and even on top of it.

3. You remind your audience that this is not about the ball, it’s about the drinks. When you lift the cup, a full-sized can of beer has appeared from underneath! It can then be immediately shared (with people of the appropriate age) for a refreshing finale.

College Dropout features a very special cup and a very special ping pong ball that help make this trick possible. The cup is large enough to accommodate any standard twelve-ounce can as a final load. The props are large and colorful, making it great for close-up, as well as parlor and stage. The routine taught by Juan and Alex is easy to perform, and if you’ve never performed the Chop Cup before, it’s a great introduction to this classic trick. The props look innocent but hide a brilliant secret that will get big reactions from your audience.
