MMny Dealers in US offer this prop ("Dice Chop Cup by Stephane Bourgoin"), but everyone informs that it is out of stock.

Does anyone know, please, where I can order it.

Thank you!

Searched for this all over the place a couple of months ago, couldn't find it anywhere. I finally settled on Axel Hecklau's "Just a cup" instead. Couldn't be happier! Smile

You will probably have to try to find one on the used market. Place an entry in the "Let's Make a Magic Deal" section and see if someone has one they would be willing to sell.

School for scoundrels sell one:

Speaking of school for scoundrels. I recently placed an order with them and I managed to place it twice (don´t ask me how. To paraphrase Harry Lorayne: I´m a lousy computer person)! I emailed Chef Anton and he told me that to refund my money would take a few weeks so instead he offered me an instore credit that was bigger than my initial investment!

In other words: I messed up and he rewarded me for it. Now that's customer service for you!

I have shopped there before and I will most certainly do so again.

This is because all the initial stock was sold. Magic items are not always available, there is many reasons for this. Like the product can no longer be made, or all the person ever intended was to only make a limited run of an item. The magic sites leave the listing on their site to get Google to draw customers to their site.

When an item is offered to the magic community it must be purchased at the time, or the interested parties will be left out. If you can find the guy, drop him an email and ask him if he will ever supply more of his dice cup routine. I am sure he know better then anyone on the Café.

James P. Riser makes magnetic dice for $30 a pair.

@ Peter Biro

Thank you!

If I google "Frank Starsini" it will be corrected to "Frank Starsinic" and the only side with magic props offered is: ambitiouscard.com

Is this the side you mentioned?

I didn't find there a 'dice chop cup'.

Did I make any mistake?

Thank you, but with "dice chop cup", I mean a set: Cup + gaffed dice!
As mentioned in my first statement.
Frank doesn't sell this!

I don't sell the dice, per se, but there are a lot of folks that have purchased my chop cup and also purchased chopped dice made by Jim Riser.
They are a perfect match.

Several people had their dice shipped to me after purchasing them from Jim and I made sure that they matched the cup perfectly before sending it out.
The shop is working on a new set of cups and they should be done today. When I get them, I finish them off so they are exactly as they should be.

I install and adjust the attractive qualities before any cup gets shipped, just to be sure.

Dave forrest at Full52 has a product that he released in Blackpool this year , Its a chop cup made of leather and looks on the promo video to be high quality.
The cup looks like a standard gaming cup used in backgammon etc and the production item is a dice that grows larger in size etc.
Might be worth a look for you.

This also seems a good value for the money:
