"The illusion that it comes from the cups....you stupid audience!" No better way to Penn & Teller's hearts than being rude to the crowd in a really funny way.
I love all the banter in his routine, think his loads could be quicker but that's a nitpick, awesome cups and balls and the melon in the hat was a great way to cap off the routine (no pun intended)
Gazzo’s stroke in ‘94 slowed his motor skills, specifically in his left hand(which, I’m sure you noticed, he was making his loads with). What makes it doubly-tragic is that Gazzo is the only student of Walter Scott, aka “The Phantom”, a legendary cardsharp known for giving two private performances in his entire career, both times to the top magicians of the era. Scott’s skills were so top-notch that both performances became legendary in the Magician community for just how damned good he was, but he was never a public figure and a very private person. Gazzo tracked Scott down when he was young and convinced him to teach his secrets to him. Gazzo’s career really took off when he learned Scott’s tricks but his stroke in 94 prevented him from being able to do any of Scott’s work afterward. Gazzo wrote a book in 2002 about his meeting with Scott and onward as well as detailing Scott’s tricks and abilities to pass his skills on to the next generation, and I do believe The Phantom’s routines form the basis of a lot of modern card tricks as a result.

This could be my favorite cups and balls routine besides Paul Gertner's.
I really like how Hannibal does this trick. His pater is on point.
idk this one isn't very special to me :l same with Paul G. But Hannibal and Paul Daniels are brilliant.
this man was apparently scott's only apprentice. He deserves mad respect on that fact alone.
This is hands down the best cups and balls I've ever personally seen performed.
No it isn't
You need to watch Jason Maher
This is probably my favourite magic trick on CZcams, so well done
