About 25 years ago I had a copy of Frank Garcia's book "The Very Best of Cups and Balls." I don't know who I borrowed it from, but I went straight over to the photo copy machine and copied the whole thing. Naturally, I put it away somewhere and never saw it again. Well, happy days are here again! I found it in my pile of "stuff." I'll be trying out his routine again, real soon.

I also found my old copy of "The Hindu Cups" by Eddie Joseph. Didn't even know I had it! That will be something good to read again.

No better time to read and practice; it's snowing outside, and I sure don't feel like shoveling that mess.

Can't wait to see your work

How Garcia's routine compares to other ?

I'll let you know. The only part I remember is that the final load is four balls.

I actually have a copy of the Garcia book. I have my own routine etched in stone. I'm not going to add anything. I'm too old and set in my ways.

Let me know what you want to pay for it, if you're really interested. My copy is not pristine, the spine is broken. I, unlike some magicians actually read the books I buy.

What!? You mean you don't get the book, let it collect dust on some bookshelf, tell all your magic buddies about the huge collection of books you have that you've never read, display the books in pictures of your fancy shelf and when asked how the book was say it's been a while since you looked through it and you'd have to get back to them, all without them realizing you only skimmed the book once? C'mon man! Get with the times!

Tonight I took a look at my photocopied pages of Frank Garcia's book. He doesn't use a wand. He does a lot of stacking and unstacking the cups to show they are empty during the routine. He produces four large balls as a final load. It looks like a great routine, but I don't feel like studying something new. Too lazy.

I'm gonna go play with my Riser cups...
