If you've always wanted to learn the classic cups and balls, here's a DIY version, an easy magic trick for beginners and kids, that you can learn. All you'll need are paper cups and balls made from aluminum foil. The Cups and Balls is a very old magic trick. A magician uses three cups and small balls. They make the balls seem to go through the cups, disappear, and then show up again. Check out our related YouTube tutorial for beginners to learn this easy magic trick.

The magician flips the cups over on a table and the balls go right through the bottom of cups, jump from one cup to another, or vanish from one spot and reappear under a different cup. You can buy commercial cups and ball props, and simple sets of these often come in beginning magic sets. But here's a DIY version that you can make yourself and still perform the classic, baffling magic trick.
It's an easy magic trick but it's a fooler because it makes audiences wonder how something impossible just happened!
