Paul Fox “Chick” Cups. Phoenix, Danny Dew, ca. 1965. Three large nesting cups of spun brass, chrome plated. 4” high, openings 3 ½” across. Together with a close-up mat, three vintage final load baseballs, four rubber balls, and special bag of Paul Fox design which facilitates the performance. Very good. This set of cups was owned by Dr. Ed Pendergrast of Denver, Colorado. Pendergrast met Fox as a teenager, and learned magic from him. The specially prepared bag accompanying the cups was designed by Fox, and may have been made and used by him. It allows for the secret steal of the extra ball at the outset of the routine. Its design is not generally known to magicians.
