      He was far from discreet while reaching into that big open bag on his hip, but I had to pause and rewind at one point because I was like "wait! How'd that orange get under the cup." I was surprised he was even able to use misdirection with the clear cups.

      He kept the balls in his right hand, picked up the cup, and then dropped the ball into the cup as he was putting the cup down. Every time he tossed it under when the cup was placed.
      For the oranges, he would use a cup with a ball already in it, pour the existing ball into his lap (as it would appear to the audience), but then took a moment to shove an orange up there with his opposite hand. He did the exact same thing with the melon and his hat.
      Still, his ability to consistently do this without giving away his hand movements speaks to a considerable amount of practice and skill.

      @@matheus.wagner As someone who was once an aspiring magician, that's basically what magic is.
      You can know all the techniques, you can follow every move and note every time eyesight is blocked, but still be amazed at the reveal.
      The main point of the trick is that there are four balls at the start, and every time you are shown a ball that is cover for sneaking a new ball into the place you just removed and shown the other ball from.
      To understand/follow a magical act (at the street level, theatrical events have contraptions and viewpoint control you cannot obtain performing magic for groups on the street) you need to understand that when your attention is drawn to something, you have to actively fight your instinct to follow everything you see and instead look for things you can't see.

I caught the melon in the hat the first time around because of how he grabbed the hat. It was obvious that he'd grabbed an object larger than his little wooden balls (Ha! 😂)

      Sometimes. Especially with tricks like this where their talent and timing is so apparent. But knowing how those big David Copperfield spectacle tricks are done or sawing a lady in half, those sorts of things, it can be kind of cheap sometimes. Not all tricks are clever. Some of them are just cheap cheats when you see it. When you don't it looks amazing. But when you know it it can be like "Well that's not very good. They can just fit in there with all the swords." Y'know? But that's not to say you shouldn't want to find out if you're curious enough. Or that you wouldn't appreciate it on some other level.
      For me, I want to get the gist of how it's done. I'm curious enough that I want to know the secrets behind it. But I don't want to know how every trick is done. I want to leave that little space to be amazed. And whenever I see a new one, I can usually kind of figure out the type of thing they're doing but not knowing the details, it's still impressive.

      There is something to be admired in the tricks where the audience's perception is carefully controlled though. Being able to manufacture an illusion where you need to utilise a relatively simple trick but do it in a way that keeps everyone in the dark as to how it was done, it's impressive.
      But also, knowing that your audience knows how a trick is usually performed, a magician can shake it up and do it in a different way to play on audience expectation - just look at Penn & Teller!
