Brick Tilley learned this routine in China from Mr. Fu in 1980. It is a 'cups and balls' routine, but is performed with two rice bowls and three balls, which appear to be small pieces of fruit. They are not really pieces of fruit, but that is what they look like. Details of what they are and how to make them are in the ebook.

The video above is part one of a four-part routine.

The effect below is not included in the tutorial because it utilizes a well-known magic principle. The video, therefore, is only to acquaint the viewer with the props.
