If anyone hasn't watched the entire series of BBC's History of Magic - Close Up Magic (6 parts), then stop reading now and go watch it.

Here is part one which is 90% about cups and balls. Enjoy.

Gotta love that yogic flying
I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I only lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three. Elayne Boosler

I feel sorry for those guys. They really think they are flying. I suppose if I jump off a roof, I'm flying, too...until I hit the ground! Smile

Actually, I'd be too scared of landing on my 'undercarriage' to try yogic flying!

It's gravity that kills, not the height Smile

It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the bottom Smile

Wow, saw many cool stuff on that Vid. There was one guy in a long tail tux that produced three large balls from one cup, that really got my attention.

The 3-shell game using those little white cups was interesting.

I wonder, does Jason Latimore speak?

Thanks for sharing that
