Best,

Yeah, that is pretty. Nice use of the contact juggling balls, too.

I mistakenly picked up this DVD quick but was disappointed because I thought it was the Jason Latimer version which I've been dying to do. Anyone have news about a release on this or where I may learn it? Please PM me ASAP. Nothing against the Antonio Romero version...it's just not what I thought it would be.

I seriously doubt Jason Latimer will release his version.
You would need a severely gimmicked table to do his.

I believe Jason's routine is purely magic. Best C&B performance I've ever seen.

Actually not true. There is nothing wrong at the table actually unless he has changed the routine However you will need table to cover all the switches behind it but the cups and balls portion of the act can be really done with any table as long as you have right cups and certain type balls.

Any information/review of the routine this thread is about

Latimer's is great, but I would like to know more about Romero's.

Check the Steven's Magic website again - there's a performance video posted now. It looks like an amazing, fresh routine.

I've only seen the demo, Its not a cups and balls routine in the usual sense but it is fresh and truly entertaining to watch. Can't say that I am going to rush out and buy it, but it is something I would like to own.

When you're excited about a Rolls Royce it hard to muster enthusiasm for a Ford.

Does anyone do the Romero routine? I really like it a lot and I am working on it but I cannot get the gimmick to work properly. I have tried many different solutions but cannot get the gimmick to work reliably. If anyone is doing this routine please PM me how you constructed the gimmicked ball.

Thanks in advance

Anyone know if there are any restrictions with the glassware used? And could you fashion the cover on-the-fly?

It has a nice impromptu feel to it. Just wondering how impromptu it actually is.

Reviews from those who have it would be great.

Also, how does it compare to the recently released Chop Glass?
