Magician Billy Kidd fools Professor Bruce Hood with the classic Cups and Balls trick by tricking his brain which she does this with language, eye direction and body language.
This clip is part of the Christmas Lectures 2011 presented by Professor Bruce Hood – Lecture Three: Are you thinking what I’m thinking?

looks like gazzo
That kid looks massively stoked, always loved volunteering for stuff as a kid! ;D
Cool !
this is Gazzo's partner
the trick is that you have to look just at the cupps you'll see that she is throwing in the balls..this wrks because (as simple as it sounds) the face and the action with the stick and her hand distracks your brain…sorry for my bad english i'm from germany 😀
She has a midget under the table who opens the holes on the table and puts the baseballs in the cups simple folks thats how the whole trick works !
Tried to do the gazzo cups and balls but no one is as good as he is. She is good friends with the legend that is gazzo and they have worked closely since she was about 14 with him. She just looked very nervous this time.
Hi Billy, what's the carpenters pouch for? Oh I forgot, Gazzo taught you Cups, Balls & Pouch.
