The video shows Michael Ammar himself,
recipient of the famous Magic Castle Close-Up Magician of the Year
and widely respected disciple of the late Dai Vernon. Here, he
performs the classic and little known Cups and Balls
Cups and Balls - By Michael Ammar
The premise of this trick is simple. The use of cups and balls in
magic is an age old trick dating way back to the origins of magic.
Past magicians were measured by their ability to impress with these
simple props, and this timeless classic has continued in tradition
until now, making it a must-do performance of every sleight-of-hand
magician's repertoire. Yet, the effect never ceases to amaze.
There are many different routines involving cups and balls, each
one greatly different from one another. The one I'll be revealing
will be the one from Michael Ammar and Dai Vernon, the Magician's
Magician.
Note that the video also features some other sleight-of-hand at the
beginning, which is truly amazing. I'll not be covering them to
save time, but it helps if you view the video over and over
again.
The reveal to this trick will be
posted tomorrow! Stay tuned!
