Tommy Cooper - Magic Book

[superbigjimi]

how did he do it!

@superbigjimi Watch where his fingers are every time he flicks through. There must be tabs on the pages at different heights depending on their context.

I love magic like this that have a little story told as you watch the trick.

his act was based on not knowing which mistakes were written in and which were genuine- genius

[gnamp]

@IAmLedsterOo now you're are starting to talk some sense

[gnamp]

@IAmLedsterOo yeah sure. You know he didn't mess up because he would have stopped the act. Get real. Why did nobody laugh when he corrected himself then? It was either a genuine mistake or a decidedly unfunny staged one...

@gnamp

it was a very small mistake i didnt even notice it unitl i watched it a 3rd time

[chibinekogirl101]

@calahoon22 can you please tell me the mistake, i diddn't see it.

[calahoon22]

@chibinekogirl101

@ 0:51 he says "..just the book i want for my stamps.." but he showed the crossword pages instead of the pages full of stamps

[gnamp]

cocked that one up didn't he?

[IAmLedsterOo]

@gnamp He does it on purpose, its part of the joke.

[gnamp]

@IAmLedsterOo mmm no.

[IAmLedsterOo]

@gnamp Mmm, Yes.

[gnamp]

@IAmLedsterOo perhaps you could explain the joke then? look- it wouldn't be even remotely funny to anyone but him. It makes no sense until we've actually been shown the stamps at some point prior to him mentioning them. I know Tommy Cooper is known for pretending to muck up his act as part of his shtick but this looks a lot more like a drunken mistake than a deliberate one.

@IAmLedsterOo No it had to be a mistake ....he wasn't perfect and to go from the top again would lose the flow of the trick.
