World's Greatest Magic - Cups and balls - Volume 1 (2 hours and 10 minutes).

What can you say about the "Cups and Balls"? It's an iconic trick and has become almost synonymous with the art of magicians like the proverbial rabbit out of the cylinder. It is definitely one of the oldest magic tricks. But why has this trick endured the centuries? For one thing, a Cups and Balls routine can have many different effects, there can be disappearances, appearances, transpositions and productions. In addition, it has always been considered in the wizarding world as a kind of yardstick to measure the ability of an artist.

The other notable thing about the Cups and Balls is the amount of originality that magicians can make their interpretation of the effect and you will not find better example than that of the seven performers that you will encounter in this DVD. Tommy Wonder began our journey with his wonderful routine with only two conjuring and two productions a surprise and everything loads without the pockets! Frank Garcia offers a wide variety of different moves with the Cups and Balls, ready to add to your favorite routine, while Dan Fleshman demonstrates his famous sequence with conjuring, including his amazing final load "Fleshman flash" with five balls. Next is Aldo Colombini wetsuit that shows an elegant routine that he used to win a prize at the IMF, followed by the same Professor, Dai Vernon, who along with Michael Ammar, Gary Ouellet and Steve Freeman discuss and dissect perhaps the most popular of the Cups and Balls routine, the "Dai Vernon cups and balls." Alex Elmsley is next with a great routine that culminates with a production that should be seen to be believed while Ross Bertram presents a multi-phase routine with many original sequences that will fool even the experts of the Cups and Balls.

The Cups and Balls should be studied, if not filed by every magician and this DVD is an excellent starting point for new students and a wonderful reference tool for those who has some experience with this fundamental effect.
