The Chop Tube by Dave Loosley & TCC Magic

A Bold, Elegant Take on the Chop Cup Concept

The Chop Tube reimagines a timeless principle with a modern aesthetic: a tall, slender, upright leather tube that lets you produce, vanish, and reveal multiple small balls in an impossible sequence, all with no internal magnets.

Using a tall, handcrafted leather tube, you’ll produce six or more small balls seemingly from nowhere. They appear, vanish, and multiply with stunning clarity. In one phase, you can even produce three balls consecutively, without a top load.

For the finale, a super-sized ball appears from the tube, followed by a visual proof: passing a wand through to show it’s completely empty.

It’s a visually striking, practical routine perfect for both close-up and parlor performances.

Design & Structure

The Chop Tube introduces a brand-new structure: a non-magnetic design. Its appearance breaks completely from the traditional Chop Cup look, featuring an upright, elongated tube design: tall, slender, and refined.

In performance, it can be presented as a die-stacking tube, a vintage glasses case, or even a medieval scroll holder, depending on your style and story.

Despite being slightly narrower than most traditional Chop Cups, handling feels comfortable and natural, allowing for smooth, confident sleights once familiarized.
