Fred Kaps performing a coin purse routine

Hi,

Since I got such good reactions from the video of Tommy Wonder I uploaded, I am also uploading some video's of another magician the dutch should be proud of; Fred Kaps

Here is a video of him together with Bro John Hamman

I imagine fredesen1593 doesn't know who Fred Kaps was. If you don't like it, go out and watch the commercial crap they're showing these days.

his sleeves are pulled up so hes not getting it from his jacket, try again

although I understand the little discussion below about who the credit of this trick should go to.. I find it quite off topic to the video.. just enjoy the vid ppl it's why we look this stuff up right..

the first trick at the beginning was easy u can see it slip down his hand into his fingers. when he puts it back in tho idk how he does it

Now That I think about it he may have corrected it in the coin book I don't have either the Roth book or Coin Magic handy at moment to check out what one it's in but I know in one or the other Richard did make the correction on the history of what is sometimes called the Malini/vernon/Kaps sublety

That other post was in a not awake frame of mind and wasn't what I wanted to say. sorry. I've been in magic for 36 years since I was ten. But you're not that far behind me and yes you obviously do have a vast knowledge as well.. Yes very same Vernon who we all owe a lot to.

Richard Kaufman I believe corrected it in The David Roth coin magic book he wrote on Roth's magic. Or on the Genii forum. I do know Richard did retract the credit to Kaps in public. Yes Kaps used it often but isn't his.Fred never took credit himself for it. Yes I know in write up of the coin purse routine that Anthony Brahms published he calls it the Kaps placement  Check with Kaufman for the history of all this.

That's news to me - from what source did you get that? Is that the same Dai Vernon that saw a copy of Erdnase with photos when he was 6 years old?

If Kaps did not create this feint, he would not have had his name aligned to it.

With reference to your other post that was deleted.  I don't want to get into a war of words with an 'internet hard man' - I'm far too scared.

However, I've been performing magic since 1975 (11yo) and working professionally since 1981 - what about you?

[RS1963]

Actually it does not belong to Fred Kaps. Richard Kaufman was under the assumption it was and therefore published it in His coin magic book giving Fred credit for it. It belongs to Max Malini. Malini showed it to Vernon, who in turn showed it to Kaps.

Spot on - the only time I've actually seen it used tho (other than by Fred obviously) is by David Roth - he has some nice applications for it.
