Here is a superior example of manipulation magic using, props, steals, and misdirection.
Can you catch him, I certainly could not.
So just enjoy the ride, and learn something about manipulation prop magic.

I could not open the link.

Balls, silks, rope, cards, coins, etc. are props, also. (Even scissors used to cut a rope, are props.)

Hey Dick, nothing to open, just click once on the picture.

Of course they are all props, didn't he handle them as well, what is your point.

Wonderful presentation! Thanks for sharing this, Bill.

Thanks Bill!

Yes, the steals were very deceptive and fooled me--especially considering that the lamps that he produces are illuminated.
Thanks for sharing that video link, Bill.

Here is another example of Manipulation with liquid props, the late great SALVANO Sr. Here he is doing a completely different act, then then his classic act. Can you blieve all this in only 8 minutes.







Excellence from a Master.

Thank you for these wonderful posts, Bill. It's one of the little benefits of just being in the Café... to learn from the masters. Some of the big stage illusions I've seen lately tend to bore me; but this kept my full attention. Everything added to the first post, including the music, the lighting, the perfect timing and misdirection... and a complete story to make the package complete. Ending with a standing O. Who is the magician? Lynn

Bill, thanks for sharing these!
