Kurt Moore Larson replied to Phil Tawa's discussion Chop or Combo in the group The Cups & Balls"Steven's Magic Emporium carries all of Pete Biro's books... he has one about The Indian Cups and Balls... there are several others as well, but I think you'll be more than satisfied with Pete's take on routines and such."
Phil Tawa replied to Magician Kshitij Choudhary's discussion Which could be the best way to Force A Card?"I like using a Svengali,Mirage or Pop eyed popper deck.
The classic force is something I never could quite master.

Phil Tawa left a comment for Steven Brundage"Hi Steve.
In answer to your question yesterday.
Sometimes theres a lot of people on sometimes not.

MELDINI commented on Phil Tawa's group Ask Phil"PHIL ITS BEEN A LONG TIME WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UP TOO ARE YOU STILL WORKING ON THE HOUSE meldini"
Phil Tawa replied to Phil Tawa's discussion Chop or Combo in the group The Cups & Balls"By Hardcore I mean a cups and balls addict.
A purist may not use them. Like,some people won't draw on balloon animals.
You don't know where I can find a good routine for indian cups and balls do you?
I have some but could never find a book."
Ron L Clayton replied to Phil Tawa's discussion Chop or Combo in the group The Cups & Balls"I often do that too. When I can, I like to use all gimmicked balls so that I can do a pass vanish or have the ball pass through the cup without stacking the cups. I also like to use a ring on each hand. The problem is that the…"
Russell B. Carsey replied to Phil Tawa's discussion Indian cups and balls in the group The Cups & Balls"The Steve Dacri routine using the fake grass piece is quite funny and adds to great routine."
Bill Palmer replied to Phil Tawa's discussion Indian cups and balls in the group The Cups & Balls"Pete Biro has a new book about the Indian Cups and Balls.
You do not have to do the routine on the floor or on a rug. Real Indian magicians do the routine on a blanket laid out on the ground."
Bill Palmer replied to Phil Tawa's discussion Chop or Combo in the group The Cups & Balls"That's an odd question. What does "hard core" have to do with chop cups or combo cups? Only a real expert can tell when a chop cup or combo set is being used. This would be like me asking you, "Are you hard core or do…"
Profile Information
- My level of experience as a Magician:
- Professional Magician
- My years of experience as a Magician:
- 6-10
- I specialize in magic for:
- Private Parties (business functions / christmas parties / conventions / family reunions), Kids (schools / birthday parties), Restaurants
- My favorite type of magic tricks are:
- Close-up (cards/coins/other), Parlor Magic (magic for audiences larger than close-up and smaller than audiences for stage magic), Street Magic (magic typically performed close-up for random people on the street or other public place)
- About Me:
- I have been an entertainer all my life.
Was a musician for most but have turned my love for magic into my new form of entertainment.
I started doing it as a hobbie but was talked into performing by someone who attends The magic art studios magic auction. Did it, loved it,split up my band and dumped my girlfriend for it.(she didn't approve of my new hobbie and made me choose) Nuff said?
- Website:
- http://philsmagic.ning.com/
- My dream in life is:
- I hope to continue performing but am now building students up because I want to pass the art form to the next generation. I also do a lot of nursing homes and really enjoy having fun with these guys. I guess I would have to say I am a comedy act but if I tried to be funny I wouldn't be.That was an answer I remember giving someone at one of my first parties when a dad came up to me and said,"your funny,do you do stand up?"
I really enjoy making people happy and at my age now I realize how precious laughter from a child is.
I never had kids and didn't appreciate them until I got older. Once a kid asked me if I had kids and I said "No,are you glad?" The kid looked puzzled but when I told them if I had kids of my own I wouldn't have time for them, I got my smile.
- My favorite quote:
- Lots
