John Mendoza “Brett's redesign of the cup is as revolutionary as the Paul Fox design was in its day. As far as I'm concerned, Brett Sherwood has done in the 21st century what Paul Fox did for the cups in the 20th century. The balance is right, the feel is right, and there is more attic space than ever. These are truly wonderful cups.” Bill Palmer, M.I.M.C. - www.cupsandballsmuseum.com

Hidden beneath their innocent, but stunning exterior you will find the ultimate in modern precision computer designed enhancements. This ancient and greatest close up mystery has finally been painstakingly redesigned to modern specifications for the ultimate in ease of performance coupled with the greatest economy in load space availability.
For the greatest visibility these refinements enable the use of extra large manipulation balls. Three balanced 1⅛" balls can be produced from between the nested cups and one may produce a regulation tennis ball for an impressive final load.
Brett Sherwood decided to break new ground when designing his cup so it would fit into the hand for a reason, not just using the outer rings as decorative (i.e., like the double ringed Paul Fox design), but instead by using the outer rings to act as finger alignment or stop positions. This means when a Brett Sherwood cup is picked up it is always in the perfect hand position and instantly ready for any deceptive action.
An investment to treasure your entire life!

The
legendary Dai Vernon affectionately known as “The Professor” captured the
imaginations of magicians around the world with his incomparable skill
with his three legendary engraved sterling silver cups. Dai Vernon almost
single-handedly resurrected this neglected classic by incorporating an
ingenious modern concept of Max Malini’s of loading from the pockets of a
modern suite instead of using the antiquated table servante or gibecière
pouch. Utilizing his amazing skill, beautiful engraved silver cups and his
now classic routine Dai Vernon revived and is predominantly responsible
for the present day trend with the cups and balls as a fashionable and
practical classic for future generations to enjoy.
No
detail has been omitted in the pursuit of excellence in quality and
construction of these cups. Each cup has been masterfully spun from solid
sterling silver (.925), and then exquisitely hand engraved in an antique
Persian style by master craftsmen. These cups are substantial at
