    Not sure who you are heelfan1234, but I know who Gazzo is and I've seen him perform many times live. He kills audiences with the cups and balls. First, because he is enormously entertaining, Second, because they have never seen the cups and balls and have no idea what the ending is. They are not looking for the loads (whereas you (obnoxiously) are since you have watched him do the routine repeatedly on CZcams. On top of that; Gazzo is the first guy in modern record (possibly in history) to produce a melon from his hat at the end of the cups. Everyone copies HIM. By suggesting he is exposing, you indicate that you are a magician. By pointing out the move and the moment to any laypeople reading comments, which might encourage them go back and watch for the secret when they might not have otherwise, shows you don't understand what exposure actually means. The fact that you flame a highly respected performer anonymously indicates you are a heckler or, in other words, a jerk. Unless you are one of the top ten cups and balls performers working today, I suggest you shut up or post your own routine.

      They did expose the effect. They mentioned and commentated on all the preparation, extra balls, misdirection, loads, and final loads. It was done in an entertaining way. Only magicians and magic students would care to remember any details though.Laymen would have forgotten it all the next day.

      heelfan1234 you clearly have no idea how the world of street performing works man, the tricks arnt the most important part its about connection, funny is money so to speak, your looking at one melon out of one million and saying he is bad however he was commended by most of the worlds best magicians for his show and performance and so your opinion is of no real concern. gazzo is an excellent performer and i didnt see those people lookiung unimpressed for one second.

      heelfan1234 Dude you don't have a clue, Gazzo is one of the best street performers known to man, google it. He performs the cups and balls flawlessly in this video and slammed everyone in the audience with the final loads. You don't have to be crystal clear and secretive, misdirection is a street performer's best abilities with this routine and by the look on the audiences faces there is no doubt that Gazzo slammed them with disbelief. One of the greatest. Just my two cents, from a professional street entertainer.

    His sleight of hand at the beginning for the smaller balls was good. However, with the oranges, it was very noticeable especially lifting the the melon into the hat. He's entertaining with his banter but he should have a bigger table that blocks off the big bag in front.

    The pouch and hands are far too obvious. Anyone who's seen 'magic' before would be able to call him a liar, and they'd be right.
    His telling everyone to "step back" is even worse - it proves he has something to hide as well as demonstrating he's scared of being caught out.

      I'd say that out of all the trick he pulled off, only the one where he spawns 3 oranges one after another was obvious due to the camera angle. Otherwise, I got fooled every single times. He's a pro and he's loving to put up a good show. He's using his pouch to catch people's attention.
