" Ever since I was a young boy I played the silver ball...from Soho down to Brighton I must have played them all...But I aint seen nothing like him in any amusement hall...that deaf, dumb and blind kid sure played a mean pinball"

Jack.....The "original" Pinball Wizard has got to be Steve Kiviat
...."How do you think he does it ...I don't know....what makes him so good....Ain't got no distractions...can't hear no buzzes or bells....Don't see lights a flashing... plays by sense of smell....always gets a replay...never seen him fall....that deaf, dumb & blind kid...sure plays a mean pinball"
C'mon everybody...........

I miss pinball, having 3 boys I would take them to the arcade and play pinball while they acted all modern like, slowly all the games disappeared ,its' notthesame when you can't bang and shake as you play. How do you curse out a computer?

With three sons for the last 26 yrs I've seen every conceiveable arcade & video games (still do) Whenever I've talked about 'real pinball' to them I'd hear "Dad this isn't the 60s"....
Oh well. Their loss. Hooray for you Steve for preserving the nostalgia.
Give me a flipper button over a joystick controller wachamacallit any day . Automatic ball launch ,,BAH, give me a spring loaded manual one anyday.
Maybe the kids are right , this isn't the 60s. Crap...I musta forgot

Well..Just one more chorus....
"He stands like a statue, becomes part of the machine....Feeling all the bumpers always playing clean...Plays by intuition, the digit counters fall....That deaf, dumb & blind kid sure plays a mean pinball.....He's a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist...A pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist"........
