Does a video actually exist of Ken Brooke himself doing his multiplying
bottle routine? |

I only found this youtube video of Patrick Page narrating part of "Visions of Ken Brooke" which is compiled from the old Unique Studios 8mm silent films that Harry Stanley put out:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLpiKU1aOow There's a brief clip of the bottles at the end. I'm not sure how much of the bottles routine is on the full video, but possibly only what you see on that link. You can buy the video as a download from lybrary.com http://www.lybrary.com/visions-of-ken-brooke-p-17906.html You might also post your question on the "Finger/Stage Manipulation" forum. ----- Amado "Sonny" Narvaez

Danny Haney does the Ken Brooke routine and you can see him do it on his DVD. Pat Page said Denny did it even better than Ken.
It's all about the rhythm. |

Denny Haney does the best version of the Ken Brooke routine that I have ever seen, his timing is impeccible......
The VERY, VERY close second to Denny was, in my opinion, the late Paul Daniels, but I wouldn't call Pauls routine "Ken Brooke-ish" per sey......he did his own version, with many surprises, and it killed. Most importantly, both of these artists spent countless hours and hours perfecting their routines for MAXIMUM ENTERTAINMENT VALUE. With The Multipying Bottles, it's gotta be about more than "the adventures of the props in the hands". |

I studied Denny's routine on one of his DVD's for days before putting the bottles in my show (with Denny's permission). I wasn't sure it would be a keeper in the show and within a few months it was my closer and has been ever since. As has been stated, timing is everything. My routine is on youtube if anyone is really bored, but Denny is definitely the King of the Bottles! And a nice guy.

This routine is the Ken Brooke routine, based on Denny's presentation and tips:

I performed my own routine of the multiplying bottles for the first time tonight at my church's community carols event.
