As if he didn't already have the finest close-up routine with the cups. Here's his equally stunning stage/platform routine.

You might as well watch the whole thing. He does more than just his cups in this clip.

As an aside, this is the highest rated Cups and Balls video on YouTube and rightfully so. Doesn't have the most views, simply got the highest overall marks from viewers like you. (And me!)

I knew Tommy well: he would have loved your routine. I don't have the slightest doubt!
At the risk of sounding like an old f'rt, not many performers could witness this to be true nowadays, even though it is: your routine rocks as much as Tommy's routines.

Ask Johnny Thompson at your incredible convention (what a top class act: how did you get such high standard people to be there together at the same time? There is magic in this feat.) I'm sure that Johnny shares this point of view and he has seen even more routines than me. Probably as much as Bill Palmer...

I can watch Tommy Wonder's routine over and over . I get a thrill each time I see it. Perfection. I don't know how he does it (and I don't want to know) .

Here's another version of it posted on YouTube:

Perhaps a bit off topic, but of interest:

That routine is indeed stunning. It's a work of art.

I recall that Tommy's brother sold the all of the props for the routine at auction last year (and for a very pretty penny I might add). I wouldn't be surprised it the anonymous winning bidder is one of the "biggie" magic collectors--he/she would understand the historical value of this seminal, signature piece.

Thank you for the links. I hadn't seen that specific video with the audience reaction before.
