The most impromptu chop cup you will ever see!

It's causing quite a stir!

Milk your chop cup routine to the max!

Ok enough of the puns! Only we are very excited about the Chop Mug as it is just the sort of innocent prop that can be used to devastate your family, friends and total strangers alike!

Imagine next time you are entertaining guests or throwing a bbq for your friends and family, you pick up your an empty cup of tea and ask a friend for a bank note or money of any denomination. You then go on to perform a chop cup routine with their money jumping back and forth from your pocket to the mug. As a finale you place the ten pound note in your pocket and ask how much is under the cup, to which everyone replies, 'ten pounds!' 'Too true' you say and as you lift the mug and ten pounds in coins falls out!

This is only one presentation you can use; imagine doing the chop cup routine with a tea bag as the "ball", a tea-spoon as a "wand", and only to have a packet of biscuits appear under the cup! There are so many presentational ideas you can use with this ordinary looking prop, and because it doesn't look like a magic prop no one will ever doubt your abilities ever again!

For use with any currency bank note or item that would be impromptu to your own routines or style.
