Anybody out there have it in your act?

And if yes, do you do it without the gimmick or do you ring it in?

Thanks,

Kid.

I do it with a real egg and a Halloween Goblet to hatch a dragon(See my Crafty Shoppe of Little Horrors - Dragon Egg Over Easy on my site). The gimmick is completely different. The article also contains my handling for the original Ball and Vase with gimmick.

Andy Dallas (PNP S.A.M) has a super stage routine utilizing a large Ball & Vase.

Charlie frye has 2 routines in his eccentrrics dvd's

I use it in one of my shows. I needed a trick I could do one-handed because I work with a puppet and after I added a magnet to the real ball, along with a chop cup, I was able to do a pretty good presentation all one-handed.

Even when the kids say "I have that trick" which doesn't happen as often as I was expecting, they get quiet when the ball vanishes from under the cup since they don't have THAT part of the trick!
