I love the whole ruitine, and although the 'Ain't no Mo' jokes would never work with the Australians, we don't use other peoples patter do we. He doesn't go into much detail about the sleights and moves like Ammar does, I guess he would assume you knew them pretty well. I was able to pick em up easily enough. One thing I still can't believe works is the strike vanish. I can always see the balls jump, but the spectators are just 'no way!' I would recomend this DVD for a great set of ruitines.

Indridcold, Who is the performer on this DVD? Are you referring to the Carl Andrew's DVD or to another version? Thanks for the info. Mike Magic is a vanishing Art. This must not be Kansas anymore, Toto. Eschew obfuscation.

This move is also well explained on the "Off The Cuff" video by Gregory Wilson in the routine "Recap". This discussion relates to the Carl Andrews DVD.

Next is to pick up some more expensive cups (I am still with 13 dollars Alluminium, but they work fine for me, but I might go with the classical looking morrissy, even though they are still on the cheap side, It is what I can afford) and the Ammar DVDs.
elgranmago Veteran user 371 Posts	Posted: Nov 26, 2003 11:01 pm 0 INDRIDCOLD, THE Ammar CUPS & BALLS DVDs HAVE BEEN MY BEST INVESTMENT IN MAGIC SO FAR. GET THEM. IF YOU CAN, GET Ammar´S MERCURY WAND. IT WILL LAST A LIFETIME. http://www.ammarmagic.com/ IF YOU EVER GET THE CHANCE, HAVE A LOOK AT THE "GOLD CUPS" IN "WILLIAMSON´S WONDERS". IT´S AN OUTSTANDING TWO CUP ROUTINE. I USE MORRISEY CUPS. THEY´RE JUST FINE. "It´s kind of fun to do the impossible". Walt Disney
