The only real Indian जादूगर I've seen used chrome plated Bosco cup, which he constantly juggled between passes, while chanting Gilli Gilli Gilli.
One of the last living 10-in-one performers. I wanted to be in show business the worst way, and that was it.

Just because a person is from India and he performs the cups and balls does not make him an "Indian cups and balls performer." The chrome-plated Bosco cup pretty much eliminates that possibility.
It's like what Billy Sunday said: "If going to church on Sunday makes you a Christian, the walking into a barn would make you a cow." I have seen Indian performers who tried to do something that resembled Cheppum Panthum, but it wasn't the real thing. Gary has done it. I can usually spot the work. This one went by me completely. Great job, Gary!

Thank you Pete and Dr J Ayala,
That is an old video. I was breaking in at the time. I have progressed since then. I will put up a professionally made video. |

Posted: Oct 12, 2011 10:13pm Getting back to Gary's work - congrats on crossing a cultural chasm to get a ritual/routine from another culture working. You've completed the journey that Columbus was attempting and brought back some magic. Kudos!

Brilliant stuff Gary. Loved it!
Are you selling some of the Indian cups you brought back? I have the smaller Morrisey, but am looking for something larger. Nelson |

If there is a demand I will also offer a book or two covering everything from theory,all the moves, making your own balls and routines. PM me if you are interested. |

This is incredible! I should hope there would be a demand! There is so little now...and this material is PRICELESS! Gary's performance is perfect! The timing, the relaxed attitude. No hype. Notice the lady's reaction. That is the kind of reaction I like!
Yes, I'm in. How long do I have to save for these? I don't imagine they're cheap!

I am overwhelmed by the responses I received from everyone.
I am starting a list for magicians who are interested in owning this effect. I am wrapping up 3 books on Cheppum Panthum. There will be a small book that will teach you how to make the best balls you ever owned. The other 2 books will have all you need to know about the tools of the trade and all the moves. I will also include routines. My email is info@jadoosmagic.com Let me know if you are interested. |

Me, too.
BTW, regarding Eddie Joseph, according to friends of mine who knew him well, he was better at writing up cups and balls moves than he was at doing any of the routines.

Has Shankar Jr.'s patter ever been translated to English?
I am curious to hear how it sounds.
