@geisaman There's so many different methods and possibilities that anything a layman does happen to learn will be forgotten in a few days, if he's not interested in studying magic. Even I've forgotten far more methods than I know now, but methods are just a small part. The presentation of the effect will provide all the entertainment. Don't worry about exposure. They said the internet would kill magic. Instead, it has enriched it and made it more popular, not only to study, but also to watch.
It's criminal to give the secret away. But the good news is that when you find out how it's done, it's so banal that it's forgotten immediately. And nobody that matters listens when it's told. Dai Vernon and his successors are what matters.
Oh to be a magician in the US of A. They're fucking lapping it up! I work in Europe and believe me it's a whole different ball game (or mouse game!). In all these vids of cheesy American magicians the public is SO GULLIBLE. Having said that this is a great take on the chop cup, I'm gonna use it. CHEERS X
I think he realizes that he bears a certain resemblance to Tony "Norman Bates" Perkins, and the humor plays off of that very nicely. Of course, if he pulls out a knife, I'm gone.
@JazzyMagician Yes there is a magnet in the top of the cup and a steel slug in the mouse. When he wants to mouse to appear he just bumps the cup down and it dislodges the mouse off the magnet.
@heelfan1234 Don't be a hater. You're just saying that cause you can't even dream of matching this guy. His intelligence is inversely perpetual to your jealousy. You should have been taught some manners.
@heelfan1234 : OOOH,, there IS??? Now I finally understand how my own 2 Chop Cup works,,, I´m so glad you could tell me, cause as a performing magician for 11 years, I had no idea about this..,,. what a stupid and totally unnecessary comment,,, please stay away from any of my comments in the future....
@geisaman No problem. Magic/secrets is like a religion for some people. So I get attacked by a few "old school" magicians here and there, but at the same time I get thanked by 100's of magic students for pointing things out. The best way to think of magic discussion threads/vids on the net is like a magic club. 95% of the people reading are magicians, and discussion of technique is bound to take place.
@geisaman Hi there Mr. Geisaman, you got me all wrong. David Regal is a great magician, it goes without saying. What I am refering to is, that looking from a European perspective, American audiences do seem to be much easier. If fact lots of American magicians have said the same thing. Dunno why but Europeans are much more cynical. I could never racially or nationally stereotype anyone, let alone magicians.
Who on earth is that black dude? The reason I ask is because he appears in SO MANY VIDEOS, so I'm just curious as to what's going on with that. Black dude? Dave is it? Dave what is up with all of the video appearances?
@JazzyMagician Glad to be of service Jazzy. I am a performing magician of 27 years so know about a huge variety of magic. If you need any more tips I'll be sure to help.
Shut up train dude. Exposing magic is a bad thing. U can't just go around shouting out secrets. Just as directors make you pay to watch movies, magicians make you pay for secrets
@heelfan1234 Dude, I'm not going to argue with you anymore. If you're serious about magic and you want to understand the core of it all, then just think about what I'm going to write here. Magic is much much more than entertainment because when you reveal it, it becomes a puzzle. They should be dreaming about what you did. It is controling the elements, it's not tricks. The goal here is to get away from the it being viewed as a puzzle. I'm sorry for attacking you earlier. Just think about it.
@JazzyMagician If anyone else is struggling with this, I'll be happy to help - how he loads the cheese and the mice etc. I can reveal all this for you and explain the methods.
@geisaman Are you actually a magician? The main rule in magic is that presentation is the secret of entertainment. Penn and Teller can reveal an effect and still entertain with it. Magic is about entertainment; it is a performing art. Secrets have nothing to do with anything. You've clearly shown your ignorance in a big way.
2:44 he loads the cheese in, 3:26 he loads the bundle of mice, when the camera is off him and concentrating on the cheese. You can see the bundle of mice is already in as the cup doesn't sit straight on the table after 3:28. The other secret to this is there is a magnet in the cup & one of the mice has a steel shim to hold him in the top. When he bumps the cup down the mouse is dislodged. He has a duplicate mouse in his pocket. The black guy is really, really annoying... fake laughter etc.
Can someone please ban you already, you're like the guy who gets a cheap thrill out of kicking down someones sand castle that they spent all day to build. I wish the guy that posted this would delete all your crap comments. If it was the routine you built and created then perhaps you have full rights to give it away, but this is not your property to give away.
@geisaman There's nothing wrong with explaining how it's done for interested people, I don't know what drugs you are on. This is what the comments section is for - comments on the video.
The guy sitting at the Magician's left has appeared in innumerable Magic videos at this same position, always making the same silly expression of disbelief.This suggest to me that this entire audience is fake, a lot of professionals that were hired to aplaude a mediocre magician.
@benzuddhist you can't get any more wrong. There's bad magicians all around the world. It's not only Americans. It's victimization of conditioning that makes most magicians bad. I can also say that you're a victim of conditoning cause you're singling out Americans. Your ignorance bothers me.
@Deverestteam This is the L and L audience. L and L sell magic DVDs etc, so when they demo some magic, they pack the audience with stooges who are programmed to Ooooo, wow, no way, clap , and laugh their heads continuously. The black guy, David, is particularly annoying.
dude the ending was epic nice 10 out 10 great performance!

What a unique and awesome twist to a classic effect!
It's criminal to give the secret away. But the good news is that when you find out how it's done, it's so banal that it's forgotten immediately. And nobody that matters listens when it's told. Dai Vernon and his successors are what matters.
wow... that is a good act with a Chop Cup,,,,
Oh to be a magician in the US of A. They're fucking lapping it up! I work in Europe and believe me it's a whole different ball game (or mouse game!).

2.44 brilliant load...N1
lol the black guy was like" imma knock the shit out that damn mouse:D
Is it only me Or is that Black Guy in Every magic related video?
i agree..that black dude is in a TON of videos!!!!!! Micheal Ammars, Doc Easons, etc..etc..
@bRadicalmagic1 its where the stuff is performed, the same people show up to the same places all the time
I seen David in Tommy wonder cup and balls. He is actually in a lot of vid. You are right about L and L sell.
He's like the magic version of Seinfeld.
I think he realizes that he bears a certain resemblance to Tony "Norman Bates" Perkins, and the humor plays off of that very nicely. Of course, if he pulls out a knife, I'm gone.
@JazzyMagician Yes there is a magnet in the top of the cup and a steel slug in the mouse. When he wants to mouse to appear he just bumps the cup down and it dislodges the mouse off the magnet.
Now that your ego is fully glorified are you happy?

No your just a show off stroking your own ego.
@jonabank
He gets paid to watch? Where did you hear that from?

@bRadicalmagic1 He gets paid to watch. I think he is considered a "good audience member".
Who on earth is that black dude? The reason I ask is because he appears in SO MANY VIDEOS, so I'm just curious as to what's going on with that. Black dude?
Dave is it? Dave what is up with all of the video appearances?

2:40 he gets the cheese out of his pocket and loads it in the cup while they are watching the mouse appear again.

why are they laughing at nothing?.

@@MyITRcom And you know he couldn't do the trick if he tried.
Nice routine and handling........but what a cheap looking chop cup!
Barry Allen he does it now with a cardboard house. even better now

Damn i hate fake audience! -_-
