You need a lot of spares as back-ups because after a few tables you may not get back all 25 balls.

I'm with Bill Palmer on this one.
My mother aways wants me to do the Sponge balls too for her friends. For her I do it as many time as she wants me to. |

I use Daryl's "Papa Rabbit Hits the Big Time" all of the time in my practice - it kills the kids and their parents. Fun plot/fast/lots of smiles!

If you are running into this in a non-performing situation, you are under absolutely NO obligation to perform the sponge bunnies or the sponge balls for them. Tell them "One performance is a show. Two performances is a lesson." ============================================================= There is an unofficial group of professional magicians called "The Sponge Bunny Club." Some of the members are/were Bev Bergeron, Karrell Fox, Jay Marshall and Frank Garcia. What they have in common is that while they were sitting in a diner in various parts of the country, the waitress overheard them talking about magic. Then she told them she knew a trick, and she did the sponge rabbits for them.

I perform 4 different sponge routines. I got sold on sponges when I saw routines performed well. It's easy to perform them badly, which may explain why some magicians don't like them. I guess I was fortunate that one of the first magicians I saw perform sponge balls was Steve Dacri, on The Merv Griffin Show.

If you're looking for something with a similar effect, but without a standard ball or bunny, you might like "bio buddies" from my friend Randi Rain, they come in various colors, so you can have cooties, pollen, blood cells or viruses of various types. She also makes giant foam pills which are a great final production. Heres a link: http://www.raincloudmagic.com/foam-sets/
