Cup And Dice By Ethan Yip & Magic's Express Official

A modern reinvention of the classic Cup and Ball built for real-world performers.

Created by Ethan Yip, Cup and Dice removes every limitation of the traditional routine. There’s no table needed, no angle issues, and the magic happens right in the spectator’s hands.

At the heart of the system is a specially engineered cup with a hidden internal structure that gives you effortless control over the dice. The routine builds to a powerful surprise finale as two large wooden dice appear from nowhere for an eye-popping final load that uses no magnets, no switches, and no gimmicked pockets.

Ethan’s in-depth instructional video shares not only the handling, but the performance details refined over 1,000 live shows, audience management, pacing, misdirection and the psychology that makes this version so deceptive.

Because the props look completely ordinary, spectators never suspect a thing. This is more than a trick it’s a fresh, practical evolution of a timeless classic.
