There's nothing to really say about this DVD & Book Combo aside from they're charging WAY TOO LITTLE!
Gazzo is a GREAT performer. Although he belittles his technique by naming off who created the original routine he uses, it's his personal EVERYTHING he's done with it that makes this stand above all others. Billy Kid is DROP DEAD GORGEOUS and being a female working where men seem to have a foot-hold, she will OWN the art of Illusion! I do not say that to belittle female performers; I actually believe there should be more. It's wrong for men to be the only ones performing Illusions and becoming known. This DVD is a must have (plus you get the book!). Gazzo gives you an outlook on performance and management you can't "figure out". Billy, being his student, is not as confident as she should be. Her Talent is only limited by her obvious need to do everything precise. Gazzo's precision and finess flows through her, that's something you can't imitate! Even if you think this is "just Gazzo's Routine" you're sadly mistaken. He focuses on many points of performance, sleight of hand, psychology behind every move and, especially, why "back dooring" the art should never be done. There's a description (very in depth) of his gear, why he uses what he uses, where you can find and or have made the props that are the building blocks to his particular routine as well as why it's all important. Gazzo, you are supreme! Billy, you will take the world by STORM! BUY THIS SET while supplies last... I have mine! Did this review help you?

Gazzo knows his stuff for sure. His teaching method is awesome and his instructions are good. Rewind and watch the phases over and over again to get his timing and method down.
However... 4 stars because there are some bold moves in this routine that requires awesome misdirection and the proper equipment to pull everything off. His poachers pouch, table, cups and balls, etc etc are pretty much needed to do this routine faithfully, obviously. I attempted to do this with a usual set of cups and balls, but I do not have a pouch, so everything for me was different. Learn the techniques, perhaps make your own props and go out to the streets and try it there, but put in the hours of practice and patter to get it seamless. His jokes/insults are for show; use them as you see fit, but just kinda watch your mouth sometimes. Haha... Good ol' Gazzo. Anyways, awesome DVD, learn it, use it, perfect it. ~Burkey Did this review help you?
Should be titled "How to Work a Crowd and Make Money"

There are tons of DVDs that teach you how to do tricks, but there are very few that teach or show you how to entertain people. This DVD is worth getting just for the one hour live, on the streets, performance section (3 live performances of the same section of his show).
A lot of you probably know how to do the Cups & Balls, But do you know how to make it really entertaining? Gazzo's C&B routine could probably be done in about 2 minutes, but with a little comedy, audience participation and interaction, he stretches a 2 minute routine in to about 20 minutes. And when it's all over and done, the audience fills his hat with money. Some of his humor may seem a little crude at times, but the audience laughs it up. If you have a sense of humor, you could easily adapt it to your own personal style. I would love to see more DVDs like this one. Entertaining and working crowds with real live audiences. Can't wait to see more live performances by Gazzo (in the coming soon section - The Egg Bag, The Tossed Out Deck, and How to Perform Stand up Comedy Magic). Did this review help you?

I first saw this on Penn and Teller fool us and I was amazed. I bought this not really knowing what to expect and I must say this is probably the strongest magic routine I do now. The dvd is funny and easy to follow. Gazzo does a great job teaching you this and you can tell he is really proud of this trick. I preformed this at my high school talent show and I received a standing ovation from the crowd, and I received a $100 prize so the trick paid for it self.Not only did I win that but I also won a magic competition on (utube) and from that I won 24 tricks. This trick has really helped me take my magic to the next level so if you are willing to practice this trust me it is worth getting!

the street shows on the DVD are worth the money of the disc. only Gazzo can pull of the insulting comedy magic like he does. the instruction section and teach in, i thought was a little weak. the routines aren't very complicated, and a lot of it can be worked out just watching the performance sections. the real magic of Gazzo is HIS performance...it's not the tricks.

I think most magicians are corny and a lot of them are convinced that the way the perform a trick is the best. Gazzo is the opposite of that. I love that he encourages you to do things your own way.
I enjoyed the DVD and the book. The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is because I was left with a very strong desire to buy the cups, balls and bag but I cannot afford them. However, I still feel that the information Gazzo shares is so valuable. He practically hands you his act and all his secrets. He is and will always be an icon. Did this review help you?

Gazzo has a unique sence of humor!!! The routine is in no way a magician fooler but works great for audiences no related with the art(magic). Gazzo explanes some REALLY USEFUL STUFF about all the cups and balls routines(stuff about the wand are priceless too). IF YOU ARE WILLING TO DO THIS IN ORDER TO MAKE SOME MONEY, HURRY!!!

I bought this DVD for 2 reasons, firstly to finally learn the famous cups and balls, and secondly to make a better finale for my street performances other than slydini's "head toss". I was amazed.
Gazzo doesnt miss anything out and this routine is a perfect crowd pleaser which is easy to master. Even If you are completely new to the cups and balls, this is the perfect place to start and finish learning your cups and balls magic. Did this review help you?
This DVD is great for the Cups and balls worker and I like it because everything he does has a resaon. Itīs worth the money!
