I love this book so much, within only hours of learning the secret, i managed to fool everone i know! Gazzo re-defines what we know as the cups and balls, with a mixture of routines rolled into one, this routine is by far the greatest, but worth too little, i would be happy to pay $100 it is that good! I suggest this to anyone and everyone.

This is a fantastic cups and balls routine. You not only learns every nuance and subtlety of the routine, but you will learn crowd management skills that are required to keep the audience on their toes and the reason behind the routines set up. I think this routine is fantastic. It isn't necessarily for beginners though. Beginner's should check out the Complete Cups and Balls DVDs by Michael Ammar (also available from Penguin). If you have experience with the cups and balls and want a routine that is full of surprises then you can do no better than Gazzo's routine.

The book comes free with the DVD. Gazzo's routine is the best for busking. This book is a must for buskers. Personnally, I like Michael Ammar's routine more, because I don't busk, so it's more practical for me. It's better to get the book and DVD, but if you're cheap, the book is the best cups and balls book for beginners in cups and balls.

OK Stuff Overall Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 30th, 2017
More a pamphlet than a book. His philosophy of street magic is interesting, but on each subject he addresses, it often comes down to "you have to get out there and learn from the street of hard knocks" and "perform for audiences and not for magicians." Not much truly solid advice given.

The pamphlet is a generally entertaining ramble, but not particularly well edited. Some stories and patter appear multiple times.

I liked it. But I'm not certain how much use it will be to me. I didn't find any true gold in the all the glitter.

This is a great book and will enhance the material you will learn from his DVD. Here is a some serious advice from a serious pro who has worked his life with the cups and balls. Even if you do not like his performance style there is something for everyone here. If you are a cups and balls worker you need this book.

Great Companion with the DVD Report this review

This book not only goes through the Infamous cups and balls (Gazzo Style) but also has many stories and presentation items and tips to make your act top notch. This book is a great resource for performers that want to add comedy to their act!

Foremost athurity on Cups & Balls Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 23rd, 2005
Gazzo's Cups routine is the best in the world. Although technically simple, the patter & jokes take it to be the best. Personally when I read through the routine the first time, I was disappointed. But in re-reading the book, and putting some of the information into use, this put my routine through the roof. "Move Monkeys" will not find pleasure in this book. There are really no new moves, mostly presentation. If you want moves, there are other resources. But if you want the information on performing to the max, this is perfect. Buy now, make sure you pick up a set of cups and croched balls and a good wand.
