	Magic Show (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Dai Vernon pretty much established the 'modern' method of working the Cups and Balls when he published his routine in 'The Dai Vernon Book of Magic.' The routine is, in fact, a distillation of various moves and subtleties that had been used by other performers for hundreds of years.
		Vernon's approach had the advantage of being worked 'out of the pockets' and was quickly adopted by many performers.
		And for the same reason, since neither Bosco and Vernon are documented as using the half inch diameter balls often favored by early workers.
