Originally scheduled to be the third installment in the Camirand Academy's Masters of Magic series, Gary Ouellet's two-cup, one-ball routine was instead displaced by his coins-through-table routine, The Silver Passage, and published as Volume 1, #4 - The Two Goblets (1980). The routine makes use of two cups (one "chop," one regular) from a standard three-cup combo set (in defense of the combo set, as opposed to three regular cups, Ouellet states, "... to use the old cups is to perform by gaslight when electricity is available").
In addition, the routine was constructed so as to avoid both false transfers and palming, thus eliminating many of the moments of anxiety typically associated with the Cups and Balls.
Here's a clip of John Houdi performing The Two Goblets on Swedish television sometime around 1981, with a few touches of his own, and minus one beautiful vanish from the original routine called "The Whoops Move," wherein the ball is clearly seen inside a shot glass, but as it is "poured out" over an upside-down goblet, it vanishes.
