Secrets Cups and Balls

[@robertbrookes2000]

I think only by watching Debbie that I might have sussed it out, but I won't say anything but this: Paul Daniels You Are the best magician in the world. Thank you for the joy and inspiration you've given me.

When I have ever performed any magic it never looks good from where I'm standing, in fact I swear people can see right through me and know how it's done even if they all give you a round of applause. I think it possibly stems back to when I had a wonderful Christmas present in a yellow oblong box called the "David Nixon Magic Box", my Dad showed me how to do many of the tricks but my little brother always wanted to spoil the trick when I showed it to other people, I wouldn't quite have minded so much but he usually told them before I had even finished: rather like saying the punchline of a joke before a comedian has finished. My lesson was never to practice in front of the family, especially little inquisitive brothers! Thanks for uploading, It's bought back many happy memories :-)

Paul, everytime I need to smile I think of your cup and balls routine. Thank you for that

[@NickJay]

Brilliant. Funny and clever. With a resurgence of magic on TV (see BGT and America's Got Talent the last couple of years), why your show isn't revived, I have no idea. Can only hope. :)

This is really good and well performed , i loved it ! its amazing to see how you can take an old routine and transform it to a whole new thing ! and how you combined two different tricks together beautifully !! GREAT JOB Master :)

Thank you for sharing this Paul, I thought I'd seen all the episodes of Secrets when they aired but I must have missed this!

I loved this! Cups and balls never gets old.

I'm doing it wrong. I can get it up the sleeve but it keeps coming out of my trouser leg.

I've watched this over and over and I just can't work out how the hell that lemon gets in the cup!!! :-)

[@jayleffew5508]

I've just watched your cup and ball from the 90s - How'd I miss it then? It's amazing! Good to see Debbie again, how is she these days?

[@markieveeYT]

brilliant!

But I don't understand the end. I once did a trick with an invisible deck of cards... The audience saw straight through it.

Robert Brookes "But I don't understand the end." A slot machine / fruit machine / one armed bandit often has lemons as one of the images that are spinning around. Match three of a kind and you win money, hence the coins.
