I've been working on this routine for a while. But only recently have I been able to really practice diligently and do the moves correctly (because now I have some real cups!).
So here it is - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQl9gT4R2BI . PS - Regarding the "Seal of Awesomeness" it's an inside thing from another forum.

Hi Uriel...
Very, very nice! Your routine is smooth and not TOO long, just right. Have you tried different colored balls for your final loads? Might be a little more interesting. Also on your ending, I would recommend 2 smaller balls and 1 large ball. reveal the smaller balls one at a time, pause and then reveal the jumbo ball. More drama. Just my opinion. Also, I personally use the potato, lemon and tomato. I've tried both and I seem to get a better audience reaction from the fruit and vegetables. Or is it Fruits and vegetable? They say tomatoes are a fruit. Ya,right! Keep up the great work. I can tell you have put a lot of time and study into this routine. You are ready for the street. A good busker can make $100 an hour or more. By the way, would you sell me those cups for $100. You can walk away with a profit of $25? Ha! Ha! Magically, Ray
There was a time I had the blues,
the reason was I had no shoes. Until I met upon the street a man who had no feet. |

Oh...P.S.
I now use a tomato, orange and watermelon for my final loads, as you can see in my avatar.

Thanks Ray for the kind words. I don't think I am going to be hitting the streets anytime soon, the streets in my part Jersey aren't the nicest or busker friendly. I may try that final load sequence you mentioned, but I like sticking to the impact of three balls at once. I prefer a BAM! than a slow WOW! If you know what I mean.
And the cups aint up for sale. They are my babes, and I will hold on to them as long as I can.

Just an observation. You obviously value the time and developed talent put into
this. I would have liked to have seen you in a nice "ironed" shirt with a respectable background. (not a messy room and wrinkled t-shirt) If you value what you do and you are going to video yourself for the world to see, then dress the part and have a classy performance area. Not having this takes away from your routine. This seems to be a trend and I feel a big mistake. Other than that, nice job. David Paul

Uriel,
A couple of things still need a tiny bit of practice. But I enjoyed that VERY much! Thanks! Art |

I would understand your concern if this video was for a promo, or I was in front of an audience. But, I disagree with you in this circumstance because I am only recording this so that I can get advice form other magicians, not as a performance.

Like to have seen your face. Now, next time how about doing it with 3 or 4 spectators and do some interaction.

Some solid moves, keep working the routine
Think about presentation. Are you familiar with Ricky Jay's C & B? He spins a great story with C & B
