Any suggestions about BOOKS that might teach sponge ball manipulations? I am sure there are many, but anyone might want to suggest a map for the beginner who wants to take sponge balls very seriously, little by little?

Why do you suppose that sponge balls fell from favour with C&B practitioners? Reading through the old Jinx, Genie, Abracadabra, and other magic magazines of yesteryear, it's interesting to see the large number of C&B routines that were specially built around sponge balls, especially in the '40s and '50s. Compare that with this postmodern period, and you're immediately struck with how very few sponge-ball based routines there are now (Johnny Paul's routine was one of several notable exceptions).
Do you think that the "high compression" of the sponge ball engendered just too much suspicion in postmodern audiences? Fortasse |

Thank you, Bill.
The thread you suggested was highly useful. |

Get the Stevens video of cups and balls, and watch Johnny Paul fool the pants off you with a sponge ball version of the cups.
