Couldn't agree more. I actually worked up a billiard ball routine and it is insanely hard been doing magic for 30 years and this has to be the hardest when it comes to sleight of hand, but once you can do it the old boys give you heaps of respect
What a master. It wasn't just that he did this trick and others flawlessly, but that he kept on doing it week after week on TV. Paul Daniels was the best.
Paul Daniels was, and always will be, a master of the craft. I am truly sad that he has left us. I can only hope that the next generation of magicians, my generation, will be even a fraction, a tenth, as good as he was. For if they are, we shall see the world's greatest generation of performers.
paul Daniels was a performer more than anything! It's possible to learn all the sights for this trick and perform it!..But to perform it seamlessly and in such a flowing way..takes dedication and skill..a master of his art!!!
Can anyone tell me where i can learn this routine , any dvd or book ? i have his Bravura dvd it's not explained there , for those who'll yell " hard sleights , hard routines" i know how to do the flourishes he does with billiard balls .
It’s easy, you can see the shape of his had at the moneys he is holding the balls in his palm, most notably his left hand at the very begging of the trick as he walks on stage
If you watch at quarter speed you can clearly see the moments when the manipulation/deception happens… although it’s still unclear exactly where he puts balls/objects (I’m assuming they aren’t all real snooker balls). A lot of pocket work is my guess.😀
Couple of troublesome camera cuts at key moments here. I have been suspicious about him since he swore he didnt use stooges and clearly does on several stunts.
I know how it's done, and I can say that it's 100% pure skill and no camera trickery. It could be performed exactly the same to a live theatre audience. The moments which I suspect you think are otherwise impossible, they certainly appear that way but are actually extremely clever deceptions which require a very high level of skill to make the effect work. It's an honourable trick, no dirty methods.
No that is what people say when they can't work out how something is done . They think that magic should be simple to work out so therefore if they can't work it out he has to be breaking the rules which he did not
MrGyro FPV I do this trick too. That's not how its done. In my time as a magician I've yet to come accross a trick that actually requires something up your sleeve.
For someone who skilfully uses his hands & knows what his hands are doing all the time, he seems to forget what pocket his props are in 😂 or is that the way the disappeared object gets put in a pocket , (distraction) wow that’s magic 🙄 magic only wows the dumb.
Even if this might not be the most technically difficult billard ball routine the execution is flawless and the presentation is great. The main goal of a magic trick is to entertain in the first place and if the performer succeeds in that everything is fine. A magicians job is not to outsmart the audience so not only the dumb can appreciate good magic.
I was working at an adult party doing magic and did a simple trick were I vanish a red handkerchief into my hand . A few minutes later the host come up and said his brother was freaking out, he explained that his job was putting rockets into space but he could work out where the handkerchief was lol in my experience dumb people are actually really hard to perform for because they think you're suggesting that they're stupid or something and they get very angry I've had it many times
@@markusdeminger8811 I would say the job of a magician is to entertain by creating an illusion which you know is not real but your eyes are telling you different
4.19 is when he takes the final ball from under the cloth and puts it in his pocket when he looks for the wand. That’s the most obvious of the transfers.
A huge part of my childhood. Master of his craft. Clean. Stylish. An entertainer in the truest sense.

RIP Paul , you are the best
And he was a friend of mine. I feel sad too. A true magician and entertainer. Master of the craft
Probably one of the most respected magicians to ever perform in terms of people in the industry

Surely if they're a fraction / tenth as good as he was... we're seeing a generation of performers that are 10% what they used to be...?
Sadly Paul suffered from billiard balls in real life 😞
Beautiful routine. If only younger guys would take time to learn this type of magic rather than juggling with cards.
A manipulation act is a manipulation act.
What’s the difference?
A real master of magic!
Remember this from when I was wee... xxxxx

I was working on this trick for about 6 months and still had it nowhere near as professional as what he's doing.
a joy to watch.
Magic Class
Really really nice effect
Turn on subtitles at 0:36
whats the name of that little tune that plays while he performs the trick?
That’s magic!
The magician's all over the world had so much respect for this man he was one of the best
Every routine trick is a winner.
I saw Paul Daniels live in Dublin in the 1980s and he really was the best in the business.
3:35 is the best misdirection ever.
Did I miss something
A magician never puts his hand in his pocket for no reason. Every time he does it is usually to dump whatever he is palming
Nah Best Misdirection is Debbie at 3:53 xD ....and that oh la la certainly is not for the quality of the water ^^
aaaaaaaah freaken nice
i wouldnt even be able to hold all those balls without dropping them
It took me weeks and weeks to just get the ball from one part of the hand to the other it's so hard
What is the melody in this video?
only he can vanish like that bf paul daniel MAGNIFI!!!!!!!!!!
Can anyone tell me where i can learn this routine , any dvd or book ? i have his Bravura dvd it's not explained there , for those who'll yell " hard sleights , hard routines" i know how to do the flourishes he does with billiard balls .
check out amateur magicians handbook. a lot of billiard ball shtuff in there
@@justandyisok well you're not going to find this routine in the amateur book
song?
Damn Debbie
You can see she is crazy in love with him...
@@emmyjo720 they would eventually marry
I couldn't understand how he reduce 2 ball into 1!! Even with 0.25 speed!
I figured out how he produces the balls but I can't figure out a single disappearance.
I think the first disappearance it is a Tenkai palm, i saw it the first time and i think that´s it!
It’s easy, you can see the shape of his had at the moneys he is holding the balls in his palm, most notably his left hand at the very begging of the trick as he walks on stage
The first thing they teach you about magic is to cup your hands so you're looking there and not where you're supposed to be lol
And it certainly isn't easy if you could perform this trick badly in under a year I would be very surprised
Yeah... but an Apple Watch fooled Penn & Teller
Paul was doing amazing stage magic when Penn and teller was still smoking joints in University lol
Better if you turn off the sound.

Even with slow motion you can't work out the whole act that's fantastic
