Fred Kaps performing his soft glass magic routine for kids (Dutch)

[Reallush]

enjoy the vid ppl it's the presentation that it's about not the trick, magic evolves.. so thats why todays tricks are "better" in some ways but without proper show.. it's nothing but a boring slight.

those who find this boring.. go watch david blain sit in an icecube for a week or whatever..

@Reallush This was a terrible effect and totally the wrong effect for that audience anyway. They were bored out of their minds.

[Reallush]

@CaraBrimleyRules I don't CARE about the audience if they liked if or not.., i don't CARE what you think of this vid but I do get bothered that people like you keep on NAGGIN like a little girl about how you don't like this video.. GROW UP

[CaraBrimleyRules]

@Reallush The thing is though, this was such a bad effect! I can't think of any type of magic show where one could use this. Too boring for kids, not mystifying for adults. You certainly wouldn't see this effect on today's TV, the producers would kick it right off the show!

[Reallush]

@CaraBrimleyRules you're not gettin it, this was in the PAST it doesn't have anything to do with getting on tv NOW.

and obviously you won't see it these days BECAUSE its not that impressive. it's foundation magic... geez... don't you understand... and your biggest problem is I BET YOU DON'T SPEAK DUTCH so the entire performance isn't good for you because you don't understand..

please stop commenting.. your ignorance is irritating

[CaraBrimleyRules]

@Reallush Look, you don't need to speak Dutch to understand this effect. He's penetrating a glass pane with the tags and ribbons, only he pushes them in parallel to the glass surface. It's still a lame effect!!

Anyway, Dutch is a silly language that nobody wants to speak, Vjoosakrnanjajoosanheiven. That's why all the Dutch speak perfect English as well, because no one else wants to listen to their silly little language. They should have done this video in English, LOL.

[CaraBrimleyRules]

@Reallush And another thing, many Dutch people have stupid names like joosterskop. Kaps real name was actually Bram Bongers. He was so embarrassed about his silly Dutch name he had to change it to Fred Kaps.

The look on the kids faces in the audience shot looked like they were amazed not bored.

The big piece of glass at the end is a real kicker. Wow. I didn't understand a word, but it was a cool effect.

Love Fred Kaps!

[titanastic]

@monkey505boy Speak English, you bloody Krauts! Trust the Germans to bore kids out of their minds. I don't know who this Joker is attempting to perform but he is an amateur. You would never perform a boring effect like this for kids. They only clapped because it was a TV show and they were told to.

[miamimagicians]

Man those kids must have been bored out of their minds!

[titanastic]

@miamimagicians Agree with you, this fool is an amateur. You would never perform a boring effect like this for kids. They only clapped because it was a TV show and they were told to.

[miamimagicians]

@titanastic Well now I wouldn't call Fred Kaps a fool per say, he did some good stuff. Just not this. But yes I agree. Silly Billy would have killed here!

[isfanandrei]

@titanastic You stupid fucks ....Fred Kaps is one of the best there is ...so...shut the fuck up and do your kids show because that man can do much more!!YOU FUCKING AMATEURS

[CaraBrimleyRules]

@isfanandrei This was a boring trick for kids though, I agree with the previous poster, this guy was a furkin amateur. He has no idea how to routine a kids show.

There are so many good magicians who entertain with proper street magic like chris angel and david blaine, I don't know why they had this german idiot on with his old fashioned props when they could have got someone good.

[isfanandrei]

@CaraBrimleyRules Like i said earlier...FUCKING AMATEURS!!He lived from 1926 till1980...old props you say?

He tooked part in putting the foundation of magic togheter!!Amateurs like you and david blaine or chris angel could never see the real value of the trick....and yes i agree with you his place at that kids show was a total fail...he performs best for people who can understand a couple of things!!But you stick to kids show retards!

[CaraBrimleyRules]

@isfanandrei This wasn't even good magic. You can see him inserting the the things almost parallel to the glass not through it at right angles! I have seen him perform some other "magic" as well and non of it is very good. There is a dancing cork which is done with invisible thread and a salt pour where he gets a gimmick filled with salt in his hand, pours some salt and then you can see how he turns his body and puts the gimmick in his pocket. All very lame and not up today's standards at all!

[isfanandrei]

@CaraBrimleyRules STUPID GIRL!!HE DIED IN 1980

[CaraBrimleyRules]

@isfanandrei So he died in 1980, you already told me. That doesn't make me stupid, though? I'm just telling you his stuff is not up to today's standards, There are magicians of the past whose effects ARE up to today's standards, for example Paul Daniels was great although he doesn't perform bigtime anymore.

Prachtig!
