Cup And Dice By Ethan Yip

Cup and Dice is a revolutionary evolution of the classic Cup and Ball routine – redesigned for the modern performer.

Created and performed by Ethan Yip, this version removes every traditional limitation. There’s no table required, no angle sensitivity, and the magic happens right in the hands of your spectators.

At its core is a specially engineered cup with a hidden structure that allows seamless control of the dice – giving you total freedom and confidence throughout the routine. The effect builds naturally to a powerful climax: two large wooden dice appear from nowhere, creating a surprising and highly visual final load that requires no magnets or switches.

Ethan Yip’s comprehensive teaching video goes far beyond the mechanics, sharing performance theory, timing, and audience management refined over 1,000 live shows. You’ll gain the insights needed to make this effect a professional, audience-tested worker.

Because the props are ordinary-looking dice, spectators lower their guard – making the deception even stronger. With Cup and Dice, you’re not just performing a trick; you’re redefining a timeless classic.
