Masterfully executed

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

Very good. A lot of Ammar in there which was based on Vernon and some original twists too. Appearance of the ball on top was Ammar, I think.... brazen, but it always works!
I also recognised the patter "All I have to do is squeeze..."

Beautiful 🎉

[@djryanmcdonald]

Positively brilliant. I just picked up a metal set of these and now I have a lot of practicing to do to get to this level. I love the flash vanish with the cups in your hands that looks so awesome

[@paulwilliams5108]

That was just brilliant! I’ve been trying to learn the Vernon routine. I just never will get as good as that, I think I know what you were doing, but I couldn’t spot you doing it. (Well a slight flash on the final load).I’m just bowled over by your skill

[@paulwilliams5108]

This is brilliant Craig, have you published your routine anywhere?

[@Dr.Tinkerpaw]

I'm curious. When a magician introduced this trick 2000 years ago, what was his opening statement? Ladies and gentlemen I would like to demonstrate for you the newest trick in the book. What is a book? It is several scrolls laid flat and glued together. But now let me show you this. Could I have someone scratch this on the wall please?

Stunning routine Craig, I must get some cups and balls. 👍

[@MrNoUsername]

Correct me if I’m wrong but you’re using the TCC cups right? Are you using the 1.0 or 2.0 version?
That appearance of the third ball was CLEAN. I even practice the MA routine with my own set of cups and balls and yet… You fooled me with that… Dang, you are great

[@prokopjelinek1130]

Hi Craig, great routine! What brand cups are you using? They look very nice. Thanks :)

[@julianbullmagic]

I can tell there is alot of work behind this

[@magic-tv]

I’ve been studying the cups and balls for 15 years! Still learning though.

[@danielquinones624]

Is that particular version taught anywhere?

[@magic-tv]

It’s a combination of Ammar’s routine, Vernon’s routine and a couple of my ideas as well. Hope you liked it

[@felimagic]

Shouldn’t that read “Sleightly Unusual?”
