  • There are various forms of "final loads", balls with different colour, balls bigger in colour, indifferent things like patato, limon, baseballs, chicks and mice. Since this trick is consider the base trick and a form of prayer, it ends up producing "vibhuti". In this case it seems that it is charcoal dust. I have done this with rice and even confetti.

  • @aloklahad I meant the black powdery stuff he poured out.

  • There is no need to clap to tell the audience to clap.If it is good,they will clap.You can do a pause,or a nod of the head;but this clapping is annoying!

  • Him having a PHD,has nothing to do with being a good magical performer.He needs to watch others,& learn from them.I'm just saying this is a very bad performance.Whether it is from India,America,China,Russia or wherever,it is just a bad performance!

  • @abeedakbar

    It is an toy. It represents a chicken. Traditionally in India and other places like Egypt etc. magicians ended the cups and balls routine by producing three chickens from under the cups. I guess he did not want to use a live chicken. Actually in this performance he has kind of captured the various moves and techniques he knows.

    In fact there are more than XV phases in all that he has done. So it is rather long but for me this video is an excellent source of learning.

    He is not clapping to himself. It is just an indicator that this is where you take your applause. If his movement are false and exaggerated we would love to see you perform and learn from your smooth, natural and magical moves. Peace. But the way this man has a Phd degree to his credit.

  • @sloofuss

    If you think he is simply doing false transfers and palming I am sorry you have been very successfully miss directed by him. I take your point that he is not the best example of economy of movement but this is a new concept developed my Vernon. Earlier magicians were loud. His performance is in the old style. He is just jingling the bell earlier they also did flute playing and other things. Basically it was to entertain and at times magic took a back seat.

  • @sloofuss @sloofuss

    It is clear that you have little idea of magic and you are a learner.

    What he is doing are Hindu Cups and Balls. So there is nothing strange about them. They are the oldest trick in magic. Though the books say that Cups and Ball were first seen in an Egyptian painting. Modern experts think it is not true. This is the opinion of Mr. Bill Palmer who is an expert in Cups and Balls and also has a museum.

  • What the hell was the shit at the end?

  • Interesting Performance ...
