The Chop Pot by Wayne Fox

The Chop Pot fuses the timeless Chop Cup routine with the familiar appearance of a salt shaker. But it’s far more than a simple transformation. It’s a work of precision engineering paired with a cleverly structured routine that builds to a stunning callback climax.

Routine Performance

You perform a charming Chop Cup routine using a sleek, stainless-steel cup. Balls vanish, appear, and jump impossibly between the cup and your pocket. Everything feels comfortably familiar… until the finale.

In a jaw-dropping twist, you reveal that the cup was never a cup at all. It was a salt shaker the entire time.

And inside that shaker? A folded playing card. Not just any card: the spectator’s signed or freely selected card from earlier in your show.

A final moment so impossible, it leaves audiences completely speechless.

Design & Craftsmanship

The Chop Pot features a taller, precision-engineered cup, manufactured with newly developed machinery. While retaining the feel and handling of a classic cup, its refined proportions make it more aesthetically pleasing and highly portable, perfect for carrying in your pocket and performing anywhere.

Each internal magnet is hand-polished and carefully inlaid by skilled artisans, ensuring impeccable quality and performance.

The accompanying custom salt shaker has a vintage-inspired design, meticulously handcrafted with a special internal mechanism that allows for the realistic display of a folded card placed inside.

To achieve a seamless aesthetic and functional harmony, the Chop Pot’s stainless steel finish was carefully chosen to match the shaker’s silhouette, giving the final transformation a logical, elegant, and visually satisfying conclusion.
