I would just like to say I recently purchased a dvd of Fred Kaps doing a 20 minute manipulation act.His act is the closest thing to real magic I have ever seen.If Anyone has seen him live or on tape / dvd or tv I would sure appreciate some comments.He is by far the best there is.

I think he was one of the best. I own many tapes with his acts ( FISM 1973, Vienna show, his show in England with Sly, Norm N. , Shimada...) but I was never able to find his first act with cards and canes. Does he perform it on DVD. Also, what else is on the dvd ? Just his act ?

Unfortunately I don't own the DVD yet, but according to the site:
www.fredkapsdvd.com
this is on the DVD:
"This DVD includes footage of:
Fred Kaps performing during the Fism 1961 World Championship, The Long Salt Pour performed without sleeves, Fred Kaps in several TV shows on Dutch television and much more!"

Bye,
Marco.

I saw some old footage of fred Kaps doingt he "homing card" on British TV. Its the best performance of magic I ever saw.
Perfect.

I have heard that the new Dutch DVD is fantastic; I probably will get it.
