David Kwong on Fox's PItbull's New Year's Eve Revolution

I recently posted a link to Dan White's amazing performance on FOX's Pitbull's New Year's Eve Revolution. This time, it's David Kwong performing mind-reading for Pete Wentz & Rocsi Diaz at the Thompson Hotel, Miami during the same show.

Fantastic Video Performance: Dan White on Fox New Year's Eve Countdown 2015

It's a new year and already, one of the best magic TV performances of 2015 has already happened thanks to Dan White after his appearance on "FOX New Year's Eve Countdown 2015." 

White's prediction effect is a stunner and it has the added strength of being virtually "Youtube-Proof" to those who want to rewatch and figure out the secret. Well done.

Review of Tommy Wonder's "Two Cup Routine"

On this DVD, Tommy Wonder himself teaches his outstanding two-cup routine with the cups and balls. The video was not recorded for publication but as a private teaching session for Netherlands magician Leo Smetsers.

Bags and Balls

It’s no surprise that the amazing Tommy Wonder has a superbly entertaining cups and balls routine that’s filled with finesse, and there are comic elements with the bag that originally houses the cups and balls. The routine is short and sweet and every move and impeccable segment has been thoroughly and meticulously planned. 

The demonstration and tutorial videos are single camera shots. But you can definitely understand what’s going on. Explanations are brief and there are lots of moves.

There are no discussions about the props or even the types of balls used in the routine. Many subtleties go unexplained and you’ll have to work these out yourself. One should already have sleight of hand skills with cups and balls to best learn from this DVD.

Audio is surprisingly good, however, the presentation is in Dutch with English subtitles. For those of us who don’t speak Dutch, it is distracting to try and read the subtitles and concentrate on the action. But hey, if this is the only way to watch the legendary Tommy Wonder, so be it. 

True Wonder
It’s a joy to watch Wonder’s handling of the props - he’s so loose and natural. Even if you don’t learn Wonder’s routine, you will probably learn some bits to add to your cups and balls routine. 

It’s indeed a pleasure to watch the master, Tommy Wonder, in action. This DVD allows you to appreciate his legendary skill.
