A Rare Treasure of Chinese MagicThe Cups and Balls is one of the oldest effects in the history of magic, with roots in cultures around the world. In China, the traditional version is known as "Immortal Picks the Beans" - a classic of Chinese conjuring once performed in the imperial courts.Unfortunately, many traditional Chinese acts have been lost over time. For centuries, Chinese magicians passed down their secrets only through strict master-apprentice relationships. This secrecy preserved their authenticity but also meant that many of the most beautiful pieces of magic nearly disappeared.The Ancient Chinese Bowls Act is a faithful revival of this heritage. Using simple bowls and beans, the magician makes the beans travel from one bowl to another, multiply, and vanish. Yet unlike the Western Cups and Balls, this Chinese version requires no extra balls - embodying the unique way of thinking behind Chinese magic.What makes this set unique is its unprecedented finale: instead of the usual appearance of extra objects, the bowls themselves can vanish from the table and reappear. When they return, three bowls are produced in succession - one filled with flowers, one with flowing water, and one with grain. This climactic transformation is extraordinarily rare, even in China today. Best of all, no repeated loading is required: everything is designed so the sequence flows naturally, allowing you to perform a complete routine from beginning to end.Why Choose the Ancient Chinese Bowls Act?The most authentic and professional version of "Immortal Picks the Beans" available today, created by a direct heir of the Zhao family conjuring tradition, ensuring authenticity and authority.Simple setup and performance, without the repeated loads required in the Cups and BallsA full act, not just a collection of methods and effects - suitable for almost any performance settingThe final production allows you to produce liquids or grains, offering a powerful and visual climaxDesigned for clarity, elegance, and storytelling, rooted in Chinese tradition but adapted for modern audiencesWhat's IncludedPrecision-crafted gimmicked apparatusThree special bowlsTwo regular bowlsSeven performance balls (five in use, two spares)Iron ring and clothTwo flowers for the final production (one in use, one spares)45 minutes of detailed video instruction, covering every move, subtlety and countless variationsElegant, collectible packaging - made to last a lifetimeA High-End CollectibleThis is not a mass-market trick.
