Lift C, showing it empty; then lift B with the left hand, showing the ball, and pick it up with the right hand. Feign to replace the ball under B and lift A to show there is nothing under it, at the same time releasing the ball as you put the cup down. Repeat the passes with the wand; lift the cups to prove that the journey from B to C has been made.
Feign to put the ball under a cup and cover the cup with the other two, retaining the ball palmed. Strike the cups with the wand and lift all three, showing that the ball has vanished. “It’s gone right through the table,” you say as you pass your right hand under the table and bring up the palmed ball as if taken from below.
Feign to place the ball in the left hand and from there under A, palming it. Lift B and jerk the ball up as you cover A with B, leaving the ball between the two cups. Place C over the other two.

Pretend to catch the missing ball from the air on the tip of the wand and pass it under B. Lift B and show the ball. Lift A and C to show there is nothing under them.
Pretend to place the ball in the left hand; palm it in the right and take the wand in that hand. Press the left hand, palm downwards, on the table over the spot where a ball is impaled on a gimmick underneath. Open the hand slowly and press it flat as if to force the ball through the table. Lift the left hand and show it empty. Pass that hand under the table, retrieve the ball from the gimmick, and bring it up into view. You now have three balls visible on the table and one ball palmed in the right hand.
