Giant Cups and Balls - Charlie Frye

Postby erdnasephile » December 7th, 2020, 7:26 am

So many routines I've seen these days are just minor personalizations of the Vernon routine.

Not this one...

Quite entertaining, and artfully done, despite omitting the "false explanation" sequence. OK, sorry for the sarcasm. It's almost as if someone crossed Cardini with Charlie Chaplain. Love all the little touches and flourishes, such as with the wand and the bit of juggling. He did commit one unforgivable fashion faux pas, however - the trim around the top of the socks should've been orange, not red.

And the music by the Quintette du Hot Club de France was perfect too
