Designed
with the performer AND the collector in mind, we know that no matter how
you intend to use The Pheonix Cups & Balls, your needs will surely
be met.
In honor
of Charlie Miller and Ross Bertram, these ultra-thick, ultra-strong, copper-alloy
cups have been hand-crafted using the Miller/Bertram shape and design.
Because of Mr. Frank's experience as a street performer, he insisted that
these cups be strong enough to withstand the "punishment" he found so useful
for luring an audience...and misdirecting their attention once the performance
begins.
Go ahead, take the Ironwood
Wand and give one of our cups a nice whack. Most of the cups on the market
today would look like a crumpled soda can. Not these.
Dimensions:
Height: 3" Mouth: 3 3/8" Base/Top: 2 1/8"
These
hand-knitted, Tayade-Style balls have not been readily available as part
of Cups and Balls sets, or individually, in almost 20 years. The consistency
of balance and size allow easy manipulation, and the intricate design make
them the perfect balls to accompany the Miller/Bertram style cups. The
open, web-knitting also helps minimize ball roll. Each set of The Phoenix
Cups & Balls comes with 4 balls. See our Order
page for special holiday ball set offers.
Dimensions:
Circumference: 1" x 7/8" Slight Oval
Ledgend has
it that Merlin's Staff consisted of the same wood as our wand! Made of
the finest ironwood, this hand-crafted wand is an attractive and, due to
the strength of the cups, VITAL addition to The Phoenix Cups &
Balls.
Dimensions:
Length: 12 5/8" Diameter: 7/16"
Whether you
use it as a presentation case, a means of protecting your Cups and Balls
when traveling to and from a performance, or both, we know that a first-class
product deserves a first-class home. Our hand-crafted case has been designed
to cushion the set securely during travel, as well as provide a beautiful
setting for display purposes.
Dimensions:
Height: 3 3/4" Length: 13 3/4" Depth: 5 7/8"
The Phoenix Cups and Balls has
been limited to 1,000 hand-crafted sets. A numbered Certificate of Authenticity/
Affidavit of Limited Edition, will accompany your set and each certificate
is hand-signed by TFM President Tom Frank. The Certificate / Affidavit
has been designed to mount inside the lid of the presentation case for
optimal display purposes.
Why pay as much as $200 for just
the cups alone when you can receive our Ultra-Strong, Copper-Alloy Cups...Hand-Knitted,
Tayade-Style Balls...Ironwood Wand...Presentation/Travel Case and Certificate
of Authenticity/Affidavit of Limited Edition for the same price? Why indeed?
