Here is Peter Wardell with his award winning act.
I have never seen a magician finish a cups and balls routine this way.

In my humble opinion it is very, very good.

Agreed, the performance was very good and the final loads were certainly surprising. Smile

Nice link Tom, I reckon the best description I can give of that clip of Peter is professional, don't you just love how much he connects with the audience!

5 different coloured food items and a drink, man... speechless I was.

Nice.
After much soul searching about a signature, I decided not to have one.

Reminds me of Mike Rogers' way of getting the necessary withought using your pockets.

Well done.

Peter Wardell is a busker, as well. I saw him perform the cups and balls routine he uses in his busking show. He opened one night of the Magic Circle Centenary show with it in 2005. The amazing thing to me is the way that he managed to adapt his routine for use without the pouch. That takes thinking and skill.

Could anyone be kind enough to tell if the closeup pad Mr. Wardell is using is a 'Presto Pad'??

I doubt it. You really can't tell from the front. The idea behind the Presto Pad is not new, by any means. Emerson and West had something like it 40 years ago.

I liked the routine. The only time I had seen an ending with stuff coming from something other than the cups is on the demo for "street cups" I saw something like a bowling ball come from the hat

You are welcome. I think they called it "the wings of man" or something like that.
