A true legend at work, thanks for this. No special effects, no stooges, no camera tricks just pure skill and artistry. Chris Angel and the like could lace this guys boots
New age magicians stood on the shoulders of giants to get where they are. They never give the real masters any credit. Fred Kaps is a genius, he even inspired Michael Ammar! Turning magic in to a puzzle thats meant to be solved is not the point, and I wish they would get that!
... ditto tokenmale... in an age of David Blaine edits and Criss Angel doubles, it's refreshing to watch a true professional who has the guts to perform 10 minutes in a snug-fitting tux without a camera cut... the jumbo coin production is so slick, and I'm guessing he took his lit candle productions to his grave, I've watched this clip 10x and even though I know how it's done I'm still amazed at how he pulls it off...
The invisible coin toss phase was performed by Rocco Silano years later using a bucket. Its good to know where it originated from

That card spring/arm spread was amazing, he puts most of today's xcm and card flourishers to shame.. And XCM wasn't even invented back then!

Unbelievable. The absolute pinnacle of magical performance.
Fred Kaps is a god - coins, cards, manipulation, cigarettes...he can do it all.

Fred Kaps was the greatest magician that ever lived. NOBODY has even come close.
Plus, he looked and acted like a MAN..instead of some sissy britches.
He made it a real art instead of crock of juvenile magic club bullshit.

This is amazing! Fred can manipulate bills better then a lot of people can with cards, which is a lot easyer.
