Cups & Balls Magic Trick

Instructions:
This trick requires some time to learn as there is a set sequences to memorize. The results will surely be satisfying to beginners and their audiences. Inexpensive plastic versions can be purchased for less than 5$ and it shouldn't be a problem for you to obtain them. There are also Pro versions with metal cups that can cost up to hundreds of dollars. The version we provide here features inexpensive aluminum cups that are really cheap t buy. This basic routine consists of 3 stackable cups and 3 small balls.
You simply stack two cups, place a ball on top of the stack and place the third cup over the entire stack.
When you lift the 3-cup stack, the ball is seen to have penetrated through the two cups and is found on the table.
Once again you stack two cups and place over the ball that has already journeyed through the cups. 2nd ball is placed on top of the two-cup stack and the 3rd cup is placed over the entire stack!
When you lift the three-cup stack, 2nd ball is seen to have penetrated through the two cups and is found on the table with the first ball.
For the finale, you place one cup over the two balls on the table, rest another cup on the table a short distance away, put the last ball on top of that cup and place the last cup on top of the ball.
Then you should lift the first cup to show that the third ball has mysteriously joined the other two under the first cup. That's it!

How does this help anyone PERFORM the trick?
Can you provide more information on the supplies used in the demonstration? I'm wondering whether it is an inexpensive cups and balls kit or if they are alternative materials that you found on the cheap.
Well, you see, it tells you how to.
you should put videos of it being performed up here. that would really help us see what's going on :)
this trick is called cups and balls hahahahahahaa
i think you should tell us how the ilussion works it would be very helpful to us and i think all the sites with the trick cups and balls they dont tell you you have to buy the kit and a book and if you told us how to do it you would get alot more people on ur site =D
I cant understand how to do
you need to give better instructions dummy
dude this doesn't tell us anything about how to do the trick.
But how does it work??????????
I still dont know how 2 do it thou
i still dont get how it works.....
there are four balls.
the first one is hidden under the middle cup and the spectator doesn't see it.
so, the magician places the a ball over over the middle cup (that already has a ball inside), places the other cups over that one, and abracadabra, the ball apears to have penetrated the metal.
as you take off the cups on top, one of them keeps the fourth ball and secretly places it on top of the other. now you have two balls together and the spectator thinks that under the middle cup is only one ball. and so on goes the trick.
