Real Good Magic

Recently I found again a per­for­mance clip of Spain’s great Camillo Vaz­quez. Still think this rou­tine has ’some­thing‘. Some lovely moves and subt­le­ties in there.

Ama­zing what can be done to that ‚Dizzy Domi­noes‘ trick that Tommy van Dom­melen inven­ted and Ken Brooke mar­ke­ted in the 70ties. Great handling.

Also the dice stack­ing rou­tine strikes me. There are two little things in there that are rally cle­ver. Some­ti­mes Camillo finis­hed with the pro­duc­tion of a whis­key glass (full and unpre­pared) from under­neath the cup. That was the ver­sion I saw him per­form at the ‚Munich Magisch Con­ven­tion‘ in 1981 and I was com­ple­tely blown away.

Wish we’d see more magic of this kind these days. What an awe­some per­for­mer, what style and ele­gance. Cool!
