The cups and balls is a classic performance of magic with innumerable adaptations. The effect known as acetabula et calculi was performed by Roman conjurers as far back as two thousand years ago. One popularly circulated picture, thought to date from 2500 B.C. from the walls of a burial chamber in Beni Hasan, Egypt, shows two men kneeling over four inverted bowls. It was taken by early Egyptologists Wilkinson and Newberry as evidence that the cups and balls effect, or its related deceptive gambling game, thimblerig, possibly dates back to Ancient Egypt. Because of its context, modern Egyptologists regard the image as a game using pots or cups but details of the game are unknown. The illustration is unique in ancient Egyptian art, so whether or not the game utilizes sleight of hand trickery may never be known unless a future discovery produces a similar image in a more explanatory context.
The most widely performed version of the effect uses three cups and three small balls. The magician makes the balls pass through the solid bottoms of the cups, jump from cup to cup, disappear from the cup and appear in other places, or vanish from various places and reappear under the cups (sometimes under the same cup), often ending with larger objects, such as fruit, larger balls, small animals such as baby chicks, and even a combination of the different final loads. Most magicians tend to prefer fruit, as each one is different in shape and size, thus increasing the element of surprise.

Michael Ammar - The Cups and Balls - Magician - The World's Greatest Magic V - 1998
Close-up sleight of hand magic from magician Michael Ammar with his Cups and Balls routine on The World's Greatest Magic V from 1998. From The MagicWeek Video Archive https://www.magicweek.co.uk
This is an introduction to some basic cups and balls sequences. We'll cover the basic penetration sequence, Bosco's Triple Vanish and a 3 ball transition. You'll learn basic palming and a simple ball vanish to use with the cups.
As mentioned in the video, we highly recommend study of the Dai Vernon routine (and or the material Mike Ammar teaches) for further learning with the cups and balls.

Cups and Balls ~ Egyptian Magic
My performance of Dai Vernon's Cups & Balls (with a Twist...)
In a 4000 year old Egyptian tomb, a hieroglyph seems to depict the Cups and Balls trick. Some say its bread makers. However, in the same tomb, there are hieroglyphs of juggler performances as well. So you decide.
