CUPS AND BALLS - GIANT LOADS

Postby dat8962 » Nov 3rd, '09, 17:13



Could anyone help me by providing reference sources for giant loads?

I've seen this performed a few times such as a grapefruit or melon being produced from under a cup and I'm after some reference on the timing, misdirection etc. for loads such as these.

I've no problem with normal loads but I now want to move onto something seemingly more impossible but none of my books or DVD's include what I'm looking for.

Any help appreciated.

i suppose Gazzo's material is a start, although his giant loads come from under the hat, rather than the cup.

Touch base with mark Lewis, because he may point you to one of his contacts on the Buskers forum. :)

I've played about with trying to produce increasingly larger items.
little red ball, red juggling ball, 100mm red contact ball.

No idea on any "proper" material but PM me with what you're trying to load and i'll see if my "reverse ditch" approach works.
