Greatest Cups & Balls Routines of All Time

In this video you will see the...Greatest Cups & Balls Routines of All Time.
Hey folks...Aaron Fisher here. Thanks for watching!
In case you don’t know me, here’s the short version:
I’ve been performing and creating magic for over 20 years. Some people would say I’m widely considered one of the world’s top sleight-of-hand artists, but I’d never be so bold ;)
I’ve been fortunate enough to perform for Fortune 500 CEOs and some of Hollywood’s favorite stars all over the world, with buddies like Lee Asher, Nathan Kranzo and Adam ‘Amazing’ Grace.
But between my hit book ‘The Paper Engine’ and my coaching programs and communities, my No.1 goal has always been to help fellow magicians discover and develop their own unique approach to creating incredible magic.
This KZbin channel is just ONE of the ways me and my team are trying to ‘give back’ to the incredible magic community. You can enjoy more of my magic here:

I am aware that this video is a few years old now, but as we think 'magic is timeless'. This as well can be said for these awesome routines which are mindblowing skill. Thank you so much for showing this selection and granting a better understanding what this is all about, and how versitale this routine really is. I got interested in magic as an 'older' woman and just understood the very basic of cups and balls today and am really fascinated to get my skills to another level. : ) So thank you for all the names, books and videopresentation and talks. Pure gold for one who's willing to learn : )

I get choked up when I think about Ricky Jay dying so young.

[@lechanneldemysterieuxmante1807]

72 yrs of doing what he loved. Unfortunate he wasn’t 96, but he certainly had a full life.

[@GangiGangan]

Thank you for the nice collection. You should a part 2 of this with Hannibal the Magician and Paul Daniels

[@TheSeventhSelf]

Learned a lot, and now I have a better appreciation of the cups and balls routines... and enjoyed every minute, thanks guys

[@Mercutio01]

I'd love to see Yann Frisch's Baltass covered by you guy. The first time I watched that routine I was blown away.

[@Yup712]

Haven’t seen that one yet, I’ll have to check it out!

[@Yup712]

That is AWESOME that Alex was there when Tommy Wonder performed that! (Love, love LOVE Tommy Wonder! His ambitious card & deja reverse are go-to effects for me! Except I finish with David Regal’s Clarity Box)

[@ColinUnderwood]

Great show guys!

[@glencongdon7359]

Wonderful 👏 Just wish I had the memory for all the patter !🤣

[@tomk3620]

Genius ALL!

[@iamSTYNG]

Hey you guys. Just stumbled into this video and it got an instan sub. Really nice and infotaining video. Keep up the good work

[@aaronbfisher]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@Trickboy36]

This was interesting to watch. I am familiar with all of these routines having seen them multiple times. I didn’t expect to see René Levand’s “Three Breadcrumbs” routine categorized as a cup and ball routine. I tend to think of it as a “two in the hand one in the pocket” routine. However given Mr. Levand’s obvious inability to perform an effect with two hands he brilliantly changed a literal handicap into what could arguably be called a signature routine. I also regard magic effects in which the performer seems unable to control his props during the course of magical effects as “perverse magic“. I feel this takes great skill as an actor. Tommy Wonder’s early training as an actor in a theater school in Holland served him well. I would also regard Fred Kaps as a magician with great acting skills. Watching him perform “The Homing Card“ convinced me of that many years ago.

[@muchvideoswow3579]

lifetime magic student here, interesting you mention the story ending with the different stuff (potato, apples, lemons etc). At first I thought it was a little weird because Ive seen the ending where its ONE type of fruit or just lemons etc. But when you mentioned how the story will be told to another person "BRUH APPLES. LEMONS WTF IS GOING ON " is so LOL to me and yeah it makes the effect THAT much better haha.

[@JimBruce1962]

John Mendoza was the only one I've ever seen to combine cups and balls with a chop cup. It brought a whole new element to this trick. Wonder why more haven't utilized that.

[@FGQuinto]

Ack! I am helpless against Tommy wonders cup foo!

[@petercorjulo1617]

Rene Lavand at about 36.30 is sheer genius.

[@robertmeder7410]

Thank you for this session. I truly enjoyed the Tommy Wonder routine which totally amazed me for I had never seen him perform Now about the final loads I was expecting you to a least mention Johnny Ace Palmer with his finish of producing 3 live baby chicks. What are you thoughts on that?

[@billgreen3138]

first time seeing him doing cups and balls i new about oil and water card illusion it cant get any slower

[@garysizemore924]

Amateurs do tricks. Professionals perform magic...

[@arielroma9751]

You should also check a guy named Todd Various, he is really good at cups and balls, one of the best I have ever seen.

[@arielroma9751]

Rene Lavand is amazing, I wish the translation was more accurate, so you guys could understand the poetry of his speech.

[@shannonsmith1520]

Yes.

[@shootmojak]

Johnny Ace Palmer routine one of the best final loads

[@metaxas115]

Using chicks as a final load like Johnny ace Palmer is cruel that no one should be singled out for it. It is animal cruelty that should no longer be demonstrated anywhere. The chicks often have broken legs, are disposed of after a few days because they grow too big. It is cruel! One can have different opinions about magic with animals, but the production of chicks is just disgusting!

[@billgreen3138]

cooke cola can and lots of sponge balls

[@billgreen3138]

di vernon cups and balls secrets video tape by bruce ceveron and michael ammar video on the history of the cups and balls and paul gertner steel and silver cups and balls book and video volumes and on world greatest magic tv special on NBC and penn jellet raymond teller fool us tv show and Matt Frankco on americas got talent cups and balls routine

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

Also David Seth Copperfield, Penn and Teller clear cups and balls and exposure on Secrets of Magic forum with Magictammi and Valentina.

[@MrFoolingyu]

You can't pretend that nobody else can emulate the Tommy Wonder routine given a fair amount of practice. That is sheet magician's snobbery.

[@billgreen3138]

and the guy on masters of illuson and youtube video channel and magic tv specials his cups and bals for finale three yellow baby chickens puts then in a kfc chicken box like copperfield used kfc chicken bucket webstear fkat is a pancake mat is also wheres matt mom parcel parts kid busters denniese the menace sybol duck buster donald duck symbol

[@johnhayes6414]

ive seen a better version with live chickens. i wouldnt say this is the best routine of all time?

[@ricardocastillo5485]

I cheated because I watched Paul Gertner at 1/4 speed and saw what he was doing but it only enhanced my appreciation for the skill and mastery.

[@JiveDadson]

For Pete's sake, don't interrupt.

[@user-bd1mh6sx6e]

Stop talking you are spoiling it

[@tyronejoihnson7046]

Slemmer as usual, ads nothing to the conversation except word salad.
