If we talk overall, THE BEST ONE that ever did it. There were better ppl with cards, better with coins, stage illusions, but best overall, the ones that dabbled in all kinds of magic, Fred Kaps is number one.
My favourite magician ever. The Pope of Magic. One and only 3 times FISM champion. What a beautiful surprise to see this unknown video to me. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for posting this man of superlative abilities. One can only imagine how many hours of practice with cards brought him to that amazing level of skill! One of the all-time greats!
this is just beautiful... from the sleights to all the timings... plus this relaxed smile... we all have to learn from such masters... outstanding. Thank you for sharing this with us mister de M ;)
In 1951, as a twelve year old aspiring magician, my Mom and Dad took me to a swanky Dinner/Night Club to see Fred. After his set the hostess took me to Fred's dressing room. Mom and Dad knew the owner and arranged the meet up. Fred was very gracious and encouraging. Years later I met him again at a magic convention. He actually remembered me because of the skill I had already developed as a twelve year old.
Simply AMAZING!
Immense artiste
Weltklasse
Best magician ever. Ahead of his time.
This is probably my favourite video of Kaps on CZcams.
RIP the GOAT. Simply a brilliant man.
The Best
Outstanding! Merci beaucoup from Paris France

I had never heard of Fred Kaps, till Ron Burgandy told me about his great skills.

His most magic trick is his charismatic and flamboyant appearance.
Nothing I've ever seen..beats this routine in its beauty and simplicity
Terrific. Magic in its purest form
