Cups and balls is a classic, and one our team holds in the utmost respect. We never thought it could be any better.
Then we saw Over Clear.
Cups and balls has always depended on opacity. You cannot see through the cup, so you cannot see the work. That concealment is what gives you the moment of surprise when the cup is lifted.
Jin Hyung Han took it up a notch and removed the restraint.
Over Clear is transparent. The ball loads, vanishes, appears, changes, and transposes in full view of a spectator looking directly through the walls of the cup.
When the team first watched the explanation, we had to watch it again and again. It happens so quickly that even as long-term creators ourselves, we could not comprehend it.
That is when we knew it deserved more attention.
The visual quality of this routine is entirely our alley.

We did not build this. We just love it.
We have spent a long time making our own things, which is exactly why we know how much work is sitting inside this one. Jin Hyung Han solved a problem we did not think was there. This deserve every spotlight possible
That is what SansMinds Picks is about. A very selected releases we wish we had made, from creators we have learned something from.
We have built an Expansion Pack to go with it. As always there will be no public trailer for it, and that is deliberate. This release is Jin Hyung Han's. Our part is a contribution, not a claim any spotlight.

A brand-new magic tool that combines the core identities of Jin Hyung Han’s signature works, “Inner Value” and “Loop,” into a single system.

• Load system • Vanishing • Appearing • Color / shape change • Transposition
Key Strengths • CGI-like visual impact • One-handed operation, comfortable even for smaller hands • Compatible with any crochet ball – use the balls you already own • Truly glass-like premium feel (no acrylic appearance) • Ideal for table hopping, bar magic, and stage performances The system resets in just one second, making it highly optimized for social media content, parlor shows, and repeat performances.
It is designed to be easy to perform, yet visually powerful for any level of magician. If you are looking to perform one of the most visually striking cup-and-ball routines, [OVER CLEAR] is the perfect tool.
