The Astonishing Cup Through Table  Magic Trick

Effect

The magician wraps a cup or glass in a piece of paper. The cup then appears to vanish, seemingly passing through the table.

Secret

The secret lies in the paper. When the cup is wrapped, the paper retains the shape of the cup. The magician secretly drops the cup into their lap, creating the illusion that the cup has vanished.

Props Needed

  • A cup or glass
  • A small object (like a coin)
  • A sheet of newspaper or tissue paper

Preparation

  1. Select the Paper: Choose a piece of newspaper slightly larger than the cup. Ensure it covers the cup completely with some overlap.

Presentation

  1. Initial Setup:
    • Place the cup over the small object.
    • Wrap the paper around the cup.
  2. Audience Interaction:
    • Ask the audience what is under the cup. They will likely think you are about to vanish the object.
    • Lift the paper and cup to show the object is still there.
  3. The Secret Move:
    • Move the wrapped cup slightly towards you, just clear of the table.
    • Relax your hold so the cup quietly drops into your lap. The audience’s attention should still be on the object.
    • The paper will retain the shape of the cup.
  4. Creating the Illusion:
    • Place the paper over the object again, maintaining the illusion that the cup is still inside.
    • Wave your hand mysteriously over the “cup” and claim you will make the object vanish.
    • Lift the “cup” (paper) to show the object is still there. Remove the object but replace the “cup”.
  5. The Final Reveal:
    • Dramatically announce that you will vanish the cup instead.
    • Smash your hand down onto the paper. The paper will flatten, giving the appearance that the cup has penetrated the table.
    • In one smooth movement, bring the cup from your lap and place it back on the table.

Conclusion

The “Cup Through Table” trick is a perfect example of how simple props and clever techniques can create a stunning illusion. With practice, you can master this trick and leave your audience in awe. Whether you’re performing for friends or at a party, this trick is sure to be a hit.
