Indian Street Magic

A delightful variation to the usual cups and balls routine that you might be used to, but just as entertaining.
This is the Indian version of the cups and balls, and this guy is really good.
When you think you've seen it all, along comes a surprise to remind us that there is a lot of undiscovered talent and amazing people out there.

This video was taken in Mahaballipuram, India.
If you are ever in that area, you might want to keep an eye out for this guy.

Tommy Wonder's two cup routine

The clip is taken from his Visions of Wonder Volume 1 DVD.

Tommy Wonder is a legend among magicians. He is a perfectionist when it comes to his performances. Every action, every detail and every move is well thought out and practiced to perfection. The only other person that can match his "obession" with magic is Dai Vernon. That's just my humble opinion.

Well, enjoy this classic routine. It's beautiful.

Street Cups and Balls by Gazzo

This is the original Cups and Balls routine. It's as old as fire-eating and juggling itself.
This type of performance is completely different from the kind you see from magicians Dai Vernon, Michael Ammar or Tommy Wonder.

Street Cups and Balls requires more crowd control and need to be loud, fast and full of hooks. It only takes a second for the crowd to walk away!
It's a tough act to master and Gazzo does it perfectly.

Michael Ammar's Routine

This performance is from the "World's Greatest Magic" television program.
This is the cups and balls routine that he is famous for.
You'll also see the full working of this routine in his "Complete Cups and Balls" DVD.

Dai Vernon Classic Cups and Balls Routine

This video shows one of the most popular cups and balls routine performed by "the Professor" Dai Vernon.
This video is included at the end of the Michael Ammar's Complete Cups and Balls DVD.
I highly recommend it for anyone keen on learning the cups and balls.
Go to any magic shop and you should be able to get the DVD.
Michael Ammar doesn't teach the actual routine by Dai Vernon, but you should be able to figure it out after going through the DVD.
