Is this the same version that appears in "The Magic of Rezvani"?

I will gladly reply, but all of your questions will be answered clearly if you simply go to lybrary.com and go to the book page for the book,THE CUSHIONS OF THE PRINCESSE. On the book page, the entire Foreword of the new book is reproduced. Here you have Rezvani himself, in 1950, succinctly explaining the true origin of what we think of as the bowl trick and his own relationship to it. |

Hi,
Thanks so much for this post. Yes, traditionally done with beans. Personally, I think a much better example of the tradition is the demo offered at the bottom of the page at this link http://www.52magic.com/index.php?gOo=goo......uctname= This is a link that you yourself supplied elsewhere to show where the props could be obtained. I'm surprised you didn't mention the elegant straightforward presentation offered in the demo. Personally I much prefer it to the routine and performance in the youtube link. Each to his own |

Yes. But is it the the traditional Chinese bean trick? NO! Sorry. The performers in the travelling troupe were using a trick either they, or others, adapted to the needs of large performances. Perhaps feeling little beans would not show up well, they used little bundles of colored materials, But of course, when you change the materials used in a sleight of hand trick. you automatically have a new trick because the techniques required are different. Thus, the trick they performed appears to be the missing link between the traditional Chinese trick with beans and the Western bowl trick, using sponge balls, being the inspiration and basis of Rezvani's work (he used cloth-coveed sponge discs.) So again, historically fascinating, but irrelevant to this thread. |
