Cups and Balls ~ Egyptian

In a 4000 year old Egyptian tomb, a hieroglyph seems to depict the Cups and Balls trick. Some say its bread makers. However, in the same tomb, there are hieroglyphs of juggler performances as well. So you decide.

misdirection (mis.di.rec.tion) 1. a wrong indication, guidance, or instruction.

mislead (mis.lead) 1. to lead or guide wrongly; lead astray. 2. to lead into error of conduct, thought, or judgement.
~The American College Dictionary (1953)

Exodus 7: 10-12
And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the Lord had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.

I have three some metal cups
there's nothing peculiar about these
cups except for this capacitor this one
pass through this one I also have a
magic wand which comes in handy
I'll show you that in a couple seconds
also one two and three red balls
this is the famous cups and balls and
supposedly dates back to ancient Egypt
where they would test one's ability to
pay attention to things number one
number two
get out balls to do this and ball number
three
if you don't think the ball is actually
they're really years so on the power of
the magic mystical one and they all
appear back under the cups
this magic one has an invisible magnetic
tip you can see it's invisible but i'll
show you how it works invisibly take the
ball from this cup place it over there
and you see what happens
invisible magnetic tip take the ball
from this cup is it over there once
again you see what happens now I'll do
this a little bit slower and I'll
explain as I go along so pay attention
and there won't be any confusion take
the ball from this cup place it there he
thinks about from this cup is it there
once again you see what happens now
watch in amazement as these balls
penetrate these solid that one's got a
whole these solid metal cups to take the
ball you drop it through and take the
ball you drop it threw a tantrum take
the ball and you drop I know I'm going
too fast
some people think there's already a ball
ended there you can see it's just to
take the ball drop it through and
penetrates the cups
and explain what's going on and I'm not
going to even touch the cups so you can
clearly see there's only one ball under
teach up and if i remove this ball and
put it away and I move this ball and put
it away
that should just leave well one ball
underneath the center Cup but see that's
not the case there's still ball over
here
why is that I'll show you see why take
the ball
I'm not really taking i still have the
ball over
I just pretend like I'm taking the ball
still have it here then I pretend like
I'm putting it in my pocket and then
when I lift the cup i dropped the ball
behind the cup and gives the illusion
that the ball was under the cup now if I
really do with the ball away you can see
at this time then how many balls left
under this center Cup
well if you sit three that's good you
started to catch on to how this little
swing to works three balls 3 cups if I
take off three balls i put all of them
away and there's still a ball underneath
one of these cups that I must be using
more than three walls
why am I see there's there's the fourth
ball
there's the fifth ball and there's the
sixth ball

and that's when you get the length
that's for my drink at the end Cheers
