I used to work on stage with the great Geraldini. Mark raffles and he are good friends and im pleased to have worked with both here in Norwich back in 2002 at the Maddermarket Theatre.
Mark Raffles - Brilliant! Worked a show with him as Hazel & The Paul Kirner Sound at the British Marco Social Club in Grantham, Lincolnshire. Thanks for uploading this video - PAUL.
No freaking way these 2 gentlement didn't noticed they been robed. They are just there for the show and they act like nothing's happening, and that's great. But if you think this can happen irl you are an idiot.
Go to a Vegas show with Bob Arnot and you will change your mind. YOU are the idiot. Apollo Robbins also TOOK the KEYS to the Presidential limo of then President Jimmy Carter PLUS the Presidents itinerary from his SECRET SERVICE agents - it made national news...the only reason he didn't get in trouble was b/c he was invited to entertain. Secret Service was humiliated and Carter did not appreciate it. It's called distraction and misdirection. It works!
Moron. He always does a countering distraction move while doing each and every steal or search move. It is a skill honed over years. He can remove a bracelet type watch literally in one second without them feeling it go because he stretches the metal bracelet outwards with his fingers as he smoothly swipes his hand along the direction of their arm. He does a simultaneous countering distraction and they don't see or feel the watch go. But you'd swear they must have. The human mind is very easily confused. We think we can monitor lots at once but in reality, we're no good at more than one or two things to focus on. Thats why i love doing magic to people.
First saw Mark Raffles almost 50 years ago at Warner's Woodside Bay Holiday Camp. Wonderful act, and didn't realise until today - talking with a good magician friend - that he's still around at the age of 99.
dude he had the watch already.. rewind it back ten seconds and watch him walk away from the guy to the left of the screen then as he walks to the guy on the right his left hand reached inside his own pocket and pull out the watch.. then he approached the guy on the left and performs the coin vanishing and reappear trick but with the watch after he makes it look he took the watch in the blink of an eye..he had it in his pinky and ring finger folded up before he got to the guy
You are obviously entitled to your opinion even though I don't agree , mark is and will always be a master at his art a lovely gentleman who I am privileged to call a friend
I'm a member of the society of irish magicans and every year I meet up with mark and he is a super man and will share his knowledge with you I think mark is 92 year old and would love if he came over to Dublin and do a show at our meetings from Seamus Hanratty or as mark called me James a great great man
maybe but 5:07 he did not pass him a yellow ball, he had it else where, he used his finger to make the man think it was a ball, watch and learn thing please
