Trick your friends and family with a magical spin on the classic 3 Cup / 3 Shell game! 

Under one cup you put an 8mm ball, and show your audience. Tell them to remember which cup it is under. Now shuffle all the cups and see if they can guess which one the ball was under!

The cups are very easy to print and don't require support! I have profiles for both multi color and single color. All 3 cups can print on the A1 mini at the same time!

The base trick is easy to learn, and can allow for some more involved ticks if you can master the techniques.

I like to try the following tricks in this order, I've managed to fool a lot of people this way:

• Playing the game without the ball vanishing and making it easy for them to guess
• Playing the game while making the ball disappear from the original cup while keeping it easy for them to guess
• Playing the game while making the ball disappear from the original cup and having a second ball release from an alternate cup to prove there “is no trick!” 

How it Works

The trick lies in the way you shuffle the cups- swirl the cup with the ball quickly and it will vanish. You can release the ball by tapping the cup on the surface two times. It will take some practice to get the ball release; ideally try to disguise, obfuscate, or be discrete when tapping the cup.
