Cups and Balls Idea

So this idea came to me while I was practicing the cups and balls. My brother was there drunk and kept messing with stuff. One thing he kept doing was lifting the cup on the end. So what I'm thinking is you have a stooge play a drunk come up and lift the end cup to reveal the ball early, you take the cup back and pick up the ball. You put the cup back and vanish the ball. The drunk picks the cup up again to reveal the ball. Repeat a few times getting angrier each time then in the classic style of the stooge you beat on him and toss him away. Finish routine from there.
