I don't think that there are many magicians that would make it to the end of the routine without anyone catching anything from the whole routine... Tommy Wonder is a legend! R.I.P
AT 2:8 YOU CAN SEE HIM TAKING THE BLUE BAG AS HE IS MAKING APPEAR THE TWO BALLS IN THE HAND OF THE LADY AT THE SAME TIME RIGHT IN THEIR NOSES AND NOBODY NOTICES WHAT A GENIUS....JA JA JA
@ankan064 the audience is not fake, they choose people who enjoy magic and have great reactions. Imagine inviting magicians to perform for a DVD, and the audience sits there without any reactions? lmao
@dtextreme The L&L audience is all stooges. They use the same people all the time. They are programmed to oooo and wow in all the right places. The black guy is very annoying especially with all his fake wonderment.
@gvcats491:52 he takes the magnetic blue ball (supposedly screwed on before) off the bag and inserts it into the cup in the left hand. His pinkies are extremely dexterous to be able to have that control.
@hiukiny92 Absolutely true. Bunch of hired stooges, it's all rehearsed so they oooo and aaaa in he right places.
The black guy is particuarly annoying. For example at 2.23 - 2.30 you can see him wince, rocking backwards and forwards as the balls are supposed to be penetrating with terrible ham acting. It's all completely scripted and stage managed to hype up the effect. No doubt L&L were trying to hawk it off so they have to make the spec reactions appear good.
What is interesting is that the unfair camera angle would for many magicians, catch them out and reveal the moves..But tommy is so fast and smooth, even wen you have the side view, he does it so smoothly

@BlackEye19942:08 he steals the bag/ball while misdirecting over the appearance of the two balls. 2:13 he loads the bag under a cup and 2:22 he loads the blue ball under. It's all quite simple misdirection. I can't belieive you haven't worked all this out.
And the audience are a compete bunch of shills stooged/hired in to laugh and gasp in all the right places. L&L magic at it's finest!!
There was a video production done at a show at Lake Tahoe featuring many magicians. The close-up audience didn't really change much aside from seating to keep it "varied". I think that's where this came from. Of course, there's bits and pieces of it all over YouTube.
This routine is not about whether or not you can figure it out after replaying it half a dozen times on youtube to watch his sleights, it's about the masterful misdirection employed right under the audience's nose. This version is brilliant, the final loads are relevant and astounding.
@ddNicKbb absolutly not, it my be easy to DO, but to do it at his caliber requires a lifetime of practice. He is truly a master of slight of hand and if you had any appreciation for this art you wouldn't just blow off such an amazing routine as "easy to do."
This is awesome. I bet this guy can run his perfomance like a jazz session and work completely on the fly. With those moves there are so many routines possible.
He seems to have hired the same rent-a-crowd Copperfield used so many time, pity cos the trick doesn't require them. Incidentally, great magic, but I have to say if you've seen it many times and still have no clue how he did it all, you're not looking hard enough. It's a trick that works nice live, but easy to sus on replay
I agree with you 100%! Im actually in the middle of disecting down so I can use it one of my acts. I like some of his patter as well. Very easy to figure out though...just watch closely.
True but your not really going to truly learn the whys and hows of this routine if you don't have The Books Of Wonder written by Stephen Minch. There is so much more to Tommy's routine then what you see here. You try to piece it together from this clip and your just not going to be able to do it the way it was made to be done.
The cups Tommy used were actually custom made by Tommy himself if I'm not mistaken. But you could use whatever style cup your use to. Paul Fox, Phoenix, Sherwoods.
Those of you saying Ricky Jay is "better". I think he's brilliant, but in a different way. He may be a better overall card handler than Tommy, but Tommy was better at misdirection. Some of the ways in which he fakes out the audience are just astounding. His stage presence was amazing. I love also the conceit that he is almost as surprised as the audience about some things that happen. Very difficult to get the audience to buy into that with him. That's TOUGH to do close up!
I agree with logandarklighter, you cannot (and should not?!) compare the two. Both are masters in this field and it is interesting to note how both of them have taken the oldest trick in magic and moulded it round their own personalities and capabilities as magicians.. RIP Tommy Wonder.
Watch his right (your right, his left) hand at 2:10. One such example of misdirection. its incredible that no one noticed. i didn't even the first time i watched it.
Thank you Max Maven for creating these Wonderful videos of one of the Worlds Greatest Magician. The work that Tommy Wonder put into his effect far out done anything anyone could ever begin to understand he never stopped working on them. I was Lucky to meet him in the Mid 80s, and he changed the way that I thought about magic ever since . God Bless you, Tommy Wonder may you dazzle the stars as you did for us mere Mortals, May you rest in Peace
I read about this in Books of Wonder - and I have to say this is one of those routines where knowing how it's done and actually doing it are totally different animals. Mr. Wonder will always be one of the greats - a master of the art - and a source of inspiration. I could watch this over and over as both a magician and a spectator and be just as entertained each time.
that is the best performance ive ever seen that was absolutely amazing. I do magic and got a few vids on youtube plese go to my channel watch them and tell me if they are good please. Bryson7733. THX.
RIP Tommy... I still remember the first time I saw someone do this routine...I thought about it for years and literally was overjoyed to see Tommy put it out for the rest of us to enjoy....
do you think you can do that without being caught? It's easy to say "anyone can do that" but if you watch this in actual performance, I doubt it if you catch anything on this guy!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I do the cups and balls myself, so... wrong. I can practically pick the routine as he does it. For example 1.06-1.08 he steals the blue ball and loads it under the right hand cup under the misdirection of the appearance.
And this whole audience is stooges rented in to ooooh, aaahhhhh, and "no way" in all the right places.. The black guy at the front is even "oooohhhing" almost before he lifts the cup. The whole segment has been rehearsed. Fake, fake, fake.
First the L&L spectators are not stooges they were very fooled by this routine and everything Tommy performed. Seeing this done on vid is much different then seeing it live. The as Tommy called it direction is lost when it comes to vids so yes his loading of the pom pom and the bag can be seen. It's obvious you like to argue and make yourself look like a fool. why is that? Remember the old saying. It's better to be thought a fool then to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
I think u are a really noob. Of course, you will know how this trick done becasue you can watch video again again and again. I don't believe you know how to do it when you just watch one time only..so stfu noob!!
If you are in live, Tommy Wonder will fool you like 3 years old kid, and we all can see you are being fooled like shit on TV lol noob..becasue you can not watch again and again in live. so stfu Trash!!
Not much magic fools me since I do it myself and know most of the principles. You are probably just a cris angel fan who knows nothign about real conjuring.
lol really, not much magic can fool you and I really doubt that. If you are really that good, then I want to show you some godly magic videos and tell me how magician did them. I want to see how smart you are. Please type "Cyril Money Maker" and tell me how cyril did these coin magic. You can e-mail me in private. Show me you talent, Noob!
I'm familiar with the effect. The first part is done with a series of shell coins on the table, then a black false cover on the table is pulled back to reveal more
In the second coin production tube hidden behind the arm produces the shower of coins into her hands. The camera angles make it work. She is in on the tube. Cyril often uses stooges.
amazing, this routine using such unique sleights compared to the moves i learned on my dvd. i spotted 3 moves lol, at 0:56 he drops the balls from his left to his right.
at 1:05 on the far side of the table he picks up the blue ball.
at 2:10 he grabs the blue sock thing. this guys a genius. i only spotted these coz ive seen this so many times.
Your Trick will never be abandoned by us,magician and magiclovers.You are the one of the great magician that ever live.Good Bye and Rest In Peace The Great Tommy Wonder
I just finished reading The Books of Wonder a two volume set which teaches you how to try and be a magician, knowing the secret is not enough. Hard work, dedication and some talent is also required... with this book, Tommy Wonder has helped me become a better performer. available at your favourite magic store...
it's all just basically the french drop over and over and if you look at it really closely and you don't believe that it's magic, you can kind of follow it, but it's still one of the most amazing cups and balls routines i've seen
Two things: 1. The important part of the video is his presentation and amazing audience management. This is why Tommy is the master of "direction" since he gives you something interesting to look at while he does the "work."
2. Yes, that lady in the pink shirt is really good looking.
KingofNynex stated, "it's a routine that almost every magician has done and it's been played out a lot".
That is simply not true. This is a routine that almost no magicians perform. Most magician's do the Dai Vernon/Michael Ammar routine which is much simpler because it does not require as much misdirection.
This routine is incredibly difficult to pull off which is why so few magicians actually perform it. The moves are not hard, but the misdirection is hard.
Yes. That's very sad. He died of cancer. As there's a saying in chinese goes, "The Heaven jealous of a talented man". If Tommy Wonder had lived, I think he will be the world's best magician and will come up with more great magic.
KingOfNynex, he's doing magic for laymen. That's what counts. Nobody really cares that you are a magician and know most of the sleights and how he does them.
He is good at the misdirection but since I've watched so many cups and balls routines (and the fact that I'm a magician) I could actually see how he did about 90% of this routine because since I know how most of the sleights involved in this routine are done I know when he's doing them.
KingOfNynex what's your point? I watched your video, anyone can buy a trick and call themselves a magician. Compare your patter, presentation, routining and style to Tommy Wonder. I too know the sleights involved in the cups and balls as well as how your trick was done. There is simply no comparison. I could watch Tommy's performance 1000 times and never get bored. Watching your performance once was painful and as exciting as watching paint dry. I suggest you get a couple of Tommy's books1
I'm just saying that it's a routine that almost every magician has done and it's been played out a lot and I'm sick and tired of hearing the same shit about how I'm a piece of shit magician so why don't you just shut the fuck up and leave me alone you worthless piece of shit.
I love his routine. It's unique, clever, and charming. I love how the humor in many of his tricks, (not just this one) comes from the idea (never said outright, but implied) that he's not -completely- in charge of his magic! That it surprises him almost as much as the audience! Of course he is a master and knows what's coming perfectly well. But very good acting on his part to act surprised and have the audience buy into it with him!
I don't think that there are many magicians that would make it to the end of the routine without anyone catching anything from the whole routine... Tommy Wonder is a legend! R.I.P

I want to see how smart you are. Please type "Cyril Money Maker" and tell me how cyril did these coin magic. You can e-mail me in private. Show me you talent, Noob!

I'm familiar with the effect. The first part is done with a series of shell coins on the table, then a black false cover on the table is pulled back to reveal more
In the second coin production tube hidden behind the arm produces the shower of coins into her hands. The camera angles make it work. She is in on the tube. Cyril often uses stooges.

Magic Tutorials:
1. Double lift - You lift two cards as one
2. The Pass - Secretly transpose the halves of the deck. Gets their card to the top
3. Chop Cup - Magnet inside the cup. Makes magnetic ball disappear
4. The force - Magician forces you to chose an object when you think you can chose any one
5. Invisible thread (IT) - Thin nylon thread used to levitate and move small objects
6. Greedy Magician - Someone who sells minor changes to old magic principles claiming they are his "copyright"

amazing, this routine using such unique sleights compared to the moves i learned on my dvd. i spotted 3 moves lol, at 0:56 he drops the balls from his left to his right.
at 1:05 on the far side of the table he picks up the blue ball.
at 2:10 he grabs the blue sock thing. this guys a genius. i only spotted these coz ive seen this so many times.

Simply THE best C&B routine ever.
Latimier's has some nice stuff, but never have I seen one as brilliant, and entertaining as Wonder's.
Farquar's comes close.
But if I could only do only ONE C&B routine for the rest of my life, it would be this one.

I just finished reading The Books of Wonder a two volume set which teaches you how to try and be a magician, knowing the secret is not enough. Hard work, dedication and some talent is also required... with this book, Tommy Wonder has helped me become a better performer. available at your favourite magic store...

The joke is that the third ball that appears is a decoration from his bag. He later reattatches it.

it's all just basically the french drop over and over and if you look at it really closely and you don't believe that it's magic, you can kind of follow it, but it's still one of the most amazing cups and balls routines i've seen

Two things: 1. The important part of the video is his presentation and amazing audience management. This is why Tommy is the master of "direction" since he gives you something interesting to look at while he does the "work."
2. Yes, that lady in the pink shirt is really good looking.

KingofNynex stated, "it's a routine that almost every magician has done and it's been played out a lot".
That is simply not true. This is a routine that almost no magicians perform. Most magician's do the Dai Vernon/Michael Ammar routine which is much simpler because it does not require as much misdirection.
This routine is incredibly difficult to pull off which is why so few magicians actually perform it. The moves are not hard, but the misdirection is hard.

DavidSaintOnge2007 3 years ago
Yes. That's very sad. He died of cancer. As there's a saying in chinese goes, "The Heaven jealous of a talented man". If Tommy Wonder had lived, I think he will be the world's best magician and will come up with more great magic.

KingOfNynex, he's doing magic for laymen. That's what counts. Nobody really cares that you are a magician and know most of the sleights and how he does them.

He is good at the misdirection but since I've watched so many cups and balls routines (and the fact that I'm a magician) I could actually see how he did about 90% of this routine because since I know how most of the sleights involved in this routine are done I know when he's doing them.

Kapuchka 3 years ago
KingOfNynex what's your point? I watched your video, anyone can buy a trick and call themselves a magician. Compare your patter, presentation, routining and style to Tommy Wonder. I too know the sleights involved in the cups and balls as well as how your trick was done. There is simply no comparison. I could watch Tommy's performance 1000 times and never get bored. Watching your performance once was painful and as exciting as watching paint dry. I suggest you get a couple of Tommy's books1

I love his routine. It's unique, clever, and charming. I love how the humor in many of his tricks, (not just this one) comes from the idea (never said outright, but implied) that he's not -completely- in charge of his magic! That it surprises him almost as much as the audience! Of course he is a master and knows what's coming perfectly well. But very good acting on his part to act surprised and have the audience buy into it with him!
