Secret:
The cup has a small hole that allows the small object to pass through to your hand. When you turn the cup over, nothing falls out because it’s being held in your hand.

Preparation:
Take a pair of scissors and cup a small hole in the bottom of the paper cup so the object that you want to vanish can pass through.

Place the second bead or ball in your pocket.
