Another trick considered politically incorect. If Fred were still with us today, the PC crowd would've asked him to ditch the cigaret, as well as his famous salt shaker trick (which see)......
@RS1963 Nobody knew it is was Bram Bongers. And anyway, if it didn't sound so stupid, why did he change it to Fred Kaps for stage? This is a terrible act. Awful music, setting a poor example smoking a cancer stick, and dreadful overacting pulling stupid faces worthy of the name bongers... this act is bonkers, LOL.
This last comment of your's proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you have no clue what you are talking about. Seems you have never heard of the saying "It's better to be thought a fool, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt" You certainly enjoy making yourself look very very foolish and worse with some of your posts. Do you even read what you say before you post it?
@RS1963 You obviously have no clue about magic and its history. Everyone one used to call him Bram including his wife Nelly Bongers. Kaps was only a stage name which he chose because Bongers sounded so stupid. I have demonstrated how he was a lame act that would not survive today. You have failed to refute that argument and can do no more than stoop to personal insults, which is against the You Tube TOS when you signed up. Each one of your personal attacks I will be reporting to You Tube admin
@CaraBrimleyRules Shows how much you know. Fred Kaps was The Netherlands biggest star. He is still very well known there. So your thoughts aren't worth much now are they?
@RS1963 Magic is different today. This exaggerated face pulling and stuff where one can hardly see what is supposed to be happening would not get audiences in today's market. That's the point I'm making. So what if he has fans who still remember him from a different era? It doesn't mean he would be a star today, that's the point I am making. And it is a thought that is not only worth a lot, it is 100% true from any angle you care to look at it.
Mattia grazie per aver messo questo video che rispecchia i veri prestigiatori che c'erano una volta come kaps pollock cardini gabriel e tanti altri ciao
@Reallush To be honest I couldn't see what was meant to be going on most of the time, He was pulling stupid faces like something amazing was happening but he was just doing a simple retention vanish or loading the ball under the vase from a finger palm. This was complete SHIT. No wonder this kind of act disappeared. David Blaine and Chris Angel really put this old amateur to shame.
@CaraBrimleyRules like human evolution magic evolves.. slowly but surely. what you're doing now is like comparing the beginning with what is now.. just like taking the first IBM pc and then go compare specs with a netbook these days...
Just respect the basics man.. without it, there would never have been any modern magic or chris angel etc..
@CaraBrimleyRules B.t.w. Angel and Blaine can't do much more than take advantage of using camera angles to there advantage and also camera tricks Yes even though they claim they don't use them they do. Also many of their effects are stooged. Those are the facts. Again you don't know much.
@RS1963 Blaine can do much more than use camera angles and tricks. Yes he did use them sometimes, but he was also supremely skilled at sleight of hand, and he connected with huge numbers of people performing crucial street magic. Not wanking around like old Bram Bongers in a jacket and tails to a background of plinky planky music smoking a cigarette which causes cancer... an example he should not be setting to his audience. Thank god we don't have acts like Bram Bongers on our TV anymore.
@L01d3r Yes, I could see how most of this was done straight away, it was simple retention vanishes or loading from finger palms. All complete with wanky piano music. Some of the time it wasn't clear what effect he was meant to be doing, but he pulled stupid faces all the same like he was doing something amazing. Thank god we don't have to put up with rubbish like this in the modern day. Penn and Teller's stuff kicks this amateurish old performance into touch.
@CaraBrimleyRules Your a fuckin joke. "It was simple retention vanishes". I bet you get laughed at when you try a vanish of any kind, thats why you talk shit about him. You dont even know what your talkin about, let me guess; youve been doin magic for a year or less, youve bought dozens of effects, watched countless youtube tutorials & now your all pissy because you realized youve spent so much time trying learn it all at once that you havent "mastered" one single thing.SHOW SOME RESPECT U PUSSY
@MrZaidini Look there's no need to be rude with personal attacks, we are discussing the effects. Let me give you an example. At 0:22 he performs a retention vanish, keeping the ball in his right hand. At 0:27 he rather clumsily transfers it back into his left - anyone can see that - and then he pretends to "produce" it from the cloth in his left, all the while with a really stupid grin on his face. Now is this supposed to be convincing magic? It may be OK in the 1950s, but not now!
@CaraBrimleyRules I dont need your examples, ive been performing magic for over 15 yrs... I know a sleight when i see one. Fred kaps was an inovater, any REAL magician knows this. Have you ever heard of the kaps subtelty? This is something that EVERY magician uses at 1 point or another, if you knew the 1st thing about sleight of hand you would know that. Your like the person who will stand up in the middle of a magic show & say "Hey i know how he did that, does everyone wanna know the secret?"
@MrZaidini As far as personal attacks go,you deserve it. As a professional I take it very personaly that there's idiots like you out there that pretend like they know the 1st about magic. I've dedicated a majority of my life to this art, & the fact that someone like you comes along & spits allover it with your half-ass revalations of the sleights makes me sick. Ide pay good money too meet you in person. By the way... Ive met chris angel at the magic castle & he's a whiny little bitch.
@MrZaidini Yes the Kaps Subtlety involves holding the hand apparently empty hiding something in classic palm while the Ramsey subtlety involves holding the hand palm up while concealing something in fimger palm. Nothing new there, and NOT something EVERY magician will use. It depends what kind of magic you are performing and the way you want to achieve your results. It's perfectly possible to thousands of effects without any palming.
@CaraBrimleyRules Wrong yet again. But anything I say is of course going to be wrong because a Y.T. nothing says so. The is conversation was over before it even started. I refuse to become engaged in a war or wits with an unarmed mental reject, such as yourself.
@MrZaidini I don't give away magic, or heckle during shows; I've done enough shows myself, probably more than you have. But there's nothing wrong with discussing the effects and methods on a medium such as You Tube, where it is very largely magicians reading the threads, or magic students who are interested in learning.
@CaraBrimleyRules "Yes the kaps subelty involves"..........Bla bla bla. You are SO transparent. I would think that someone thats done so many shows would be able to appreciate a true pioneer of modern magic. I can tell youre not a real magician just by the fact that you cant even say you know what the kaps sublety is without describing it like you just read it out of a book. I know magic's come a long way, but its also been filled with douchebags & i guess thats where people like you come in.
@CaraBrimleyRules I downloaded this video so i dont have to come back to this page to see it. Needles to say I wont be reading anymore of your responses, so anything you have to say is pointless because I wont be reading it. Good luck with ALL of your "shows"
@MrZaidini I doubt you are a magician yourself, having to ask what the Kaps subtly is, LOL. I'm sure you can't even perform a simple retention vanish or shuttle pass.
@CaraBrimleyRules He is not over using facial expressions. Yes he smiles alot mouths hot. and salt but that is all again you have no clue on what you are talking about. You have no sense of real theater. I suggest you perform for 30 years or more then come back and rejoin the discussion. Otherwise you have no point your posts are meaningless plus they make you look worse each time you do post.
@CaraBrimleyRules Really? You shouldn't even be allowed near any magic. There is an old expression "Those that can't teach" You can't even teach well. Go find something you can do. Bottle cap collecting perhaps?
@RS1963 Oh yes I can teach brilliantly. I know how all this routine is done for a start! And it is overacted and lame ;-) You sound like one of these guys who knows it all, I bet you haven't even done any shows; you're just one of those armchair internet magicians on the forums who comes out with "Oh yes I have studied this and I have studied that..." without any proof of any of it!
@CaraBrimleyRules You obviously don't know anything about show business or you think you do but understand next to nothing about it or acting etc... Your comments are very very telling
@RS1963 Look, of course a magician must be an actor playing the part of a magician, but this guy is just overacting big time. It looks absolutely horrendous!!
He'd get no air time with an act like this today!! Just look at his overacting facial expressions - they are ridiculous *ugghhhh* *shudder*
