You've been hired to perform at a restaurant for the evening. You approach your first table. What's in your pockets? Is this a ritual, or do you change it from time to time?

Regular deck and matching Invisible Deck in my left outside jacket pocket; Kaps-style wallet in my left inside jacket pocket; close-up sized wand in my right inside jacket pocket; sponge balls (2", not super-soft!) in my right outside jacket pocket; four silver dollars and a TT prepared to do the bill switch with a mis-made bill in my right trouser pocket (if it's a family restaurant, I'll keep some 260 balloons in my left trouser pocket); Ring Flite gimmick in my right back trouser pocket.
That's about it! |

Thanks for the reply... In the context of Ring Flite, I find Gaeton Bloom's reel-less version works best for me. Have you ever tried his handling?

I did and found the clip size too limiting. I didn't want to appear to be too fussy about what kind of ring I borrowed. However, Mike Close's platform version, using the Bloom gimmick, is inspired.

Geez, your pockets are loaded. Sounds like me when I'm just walking around my school or on the streets doing illusions.

Hi Jim,
Welcome to the Magic Cafe. I have read and enjoyed the Magic Menu for some time. Why don't you use super softs? I have used both and find the Super Softs to be more to my liking. Lou

I'm guessing it's 'cos Super Softs of a reasonable size (ie, 2" or more), if carried in a pocket, get all scrunched up.
That's what I found. And eventually I found that cheapo sponge balls didn't scrunch up. So when I have to carry my sponge balls in a pocket for any length of time, I use cheap ones. Jim may have other reasons for doing so. But I just thought I'd share my reasons with you. Dave

It's just a matter of preference, I think. For me, the regular sponge balls have a more "solid" feel (a strange word to use, I know, when we're talking about sponge) than the Super Softs.
It's what I learned with and just always use. |

Well, the _really_ good sponge rabbits are hand-made by Eddie Ace but a set of those will run you about $50.00. They're absolutely the best, though.
However, the new Goshman rabbits are quite good and would be my second choice if I did the rabbits on a regular basis. Once in a whlile, though, I get tired of sponge balls and I'll work the rabbits for a night just for a change of pace. |
