Fred Kaps with his act. I think this version is from 1961. The version with the the burning candle as the running gag. Enjoy it.
Fred Kaps was the winner of The World Championship Grand prix 3 times. The only one ever to win 3 times…1950(Barcelona), 1955(Amsterdam) and 1961 (Liège) and for the fun of it winner of Close-up Card in Amsterdam 1955. Freds Kaps was truly an all-round magician who until his dead in 1980 inspired magicians all over the world.

Here you have the opportunity to see Fred Kaps’ very famous act.
This is the act he continually developed all his life. This is the finally version. It is here he smokes pipe on his thumb, plays with big coins, bills, candles through a scarf and finishes with “long salt, pour salt”.
