This item has sold over 300 in the past month and a half, so I am looking for some of those buyers to clock in.
Thanks

Hey Ian, I just watched the video. It's a good routine and a very good move. Nice visual magic. Very cool.

I am looking for some feedback from someone who has bought this. The moves are simple, but not everyone gets it.
Sooo, I would like a critical review if possible.

That looks brilliant, I have just sat and watched the demo with my son, and he was jumping about with dis-belief......
Very nice routine, very clean and I can imagine is great fun to perform. A lay audience would love it Gets my thumbs up. All the best R |

The effect is over 32 years old. It received 4 stars in Genii. Applauded by Frank Garcia as one of the few new moves in sponge magic.
For years it was sold with photos and text BC (before computers), I also included it my lecture. The DVD that comes with it is an informal teach-in with various set-ups. I am looking for some people who own the new release and get some feedback.

Please ignore my ignorance. Do I need special tiny sponge balls? Or is it the sleights doing the job. Can somebody point me where is it being sold now. Superb video treat, thanks magic- Ians. Worth a try.

It is available from thru any dealer from Murphys or my web site
http//stagetricks.com/shop You get 5 balls, 3", 2" 1" and 2pc. 1/2" balls, other than being dye lot matched (colored together in one batch), they are Goshman sponges. The sleight move does it all. The extra little ball is for a second routine.

I bought this!
Its a really good trick though you have to watch the angles ( or its probably just me) it's best viewed from straight on or slightly from the side. The sponges themselves are not super soft and are a bit firmer but its needed for the routine. It comes with a little half sized cd-rom that has the instructions on it and routining advice but the stuff you see in the demo is pretty much what you get not a lot of extra ideas. the method is amazingly simple Ive done it after a sponge ball routine for family and the unfortunate waitress. everybody I've done it for was pretty astonished I personally think its best to leave them at the smallest size and hand them out before packing it away. I'd give it an 8 out of ten. well worth purchasing I don't perform professionally so my opinion is pretty worthless but that how I feel about it. |

Please PM me where you got them. As I said they are supersoft if they came with a mini DVD. Let me know if it came in a box with a label, or a plastic bag. This label.
