@skinman620 No I don't agree Bram Bongers is one of the greatest performers. This is very old fashioned magic which would not get much audience today. I prefer David Blaine and Kris Angel to this guy. I have seen the homing card and the dancing cork and I am not impressed. The dancing cork uses invisible thread and his salt pour is just a gimmick containing the salt he steals from his body.

@CaraBrimleyRules He is speaking Dutch. That is because he was Dutch and appearing on a Dutch TV show. As for you other comments, Kaps is one of the greatest performers of the last 100 years...in Dutch or English. Please check out his homing card routine: pure genius and perfomred with wonderful comic timing.

@aiturran I don't think this is very good. There isn't much magic in it and what there is, is not very good eg false transfer of egg at 3:55 I mean I can do a false transfer like that, it is not very convincing magic at all. Also Kaps is not very good at comedy and not very funny. If he could speak English it would be better, he was speaking some funny language.

I had a video from a friend of mine where Kaps was performing his Cups and Balls routine on a TV show. I'll see if I can find it.
Yes, he was. By any chance do you have any videos of his stand up professional act for lay people? From what I remember he did classic tricks such as Professor's Nightmare, Chase the Ace, among others.

@aiturran No I haven't seen that one yet. But I'm digging through some archives of TV recordings, so maybe in the future I will find some examples.

I can't thank you enough for bringing this material from one of my Masters, Fred Kaps. I hope soon there's a way to gather all this material for english-speaking magicians to keep his legacy, which I think is still intact.
