Still on the hunt for a half bounce/half no-bounce ball. I do not think cutting and gluing will work because of the physics involved.

It's not the physics, it's the chemistry. Trying to get the halves to stay together will be very difficult.

Hmmm, I have a set of 3 balls right here... They are black, 1" balls, one bounces and one does not, and the third is 50/50...one side bounces and the other does not.
Unfortunately, the magic shop I bought them from has long since closed, and I do not have any information on the manufacturer or distributor. I know this doesn't help very much, but now you know they do exist.

You'd probably want 4 layers for a good color, but it doesn't seem to affect their bounce properties at all. I'm a little surprised I hadn't thought of it before.

I'd just do a switch. One of those computer mouse balls works really well. Although, I have had a hard time finding them myself. I wanted to get 4 or so of them, and use them for my Cups and Balls.

If you want to purchase computer mouse balls, the best way I have found is to look for an electronics surplus house. Purchase several computer mice. They are quite cheap. Make sure you purchase the same brand, though. Some computer mice have different color balls than others.

I want the RED no bounce like Bordan had on The Prestige.
Remember he threw it at the guard and it didn't bounce and he chained him up in the prison.

Does anyone know where to get the larger set of B N B balls? I have he small size but would prefer the larger ones. My usual sources in the UK don't have (and don;t seem able to get) them.
Kind Regards Dominick |

Aren't the normal balls 2" ? Can it be purchased smaller ?

They're normally somewhere around 1" and come in black. Until we find the source or a way to make them ourselves, we're pretty much stuck with that.

I've seen some gray ones, but that was a long time ago.

I just ordered 1 inch ones. They have them at 1/2 and 1 1/2 I was told.
Im still keeping my eye out for half/half. The internet search revealed nada. Perhaps there could be a different word they are called?

That's a cool idea! Bounce, no-bounce babies.

Hmmm.. Intrigued. I have a normal set, and could use a few good ideas. Where can I get hold of the "Bouncing Back" book? 50 routines? There should be one or two suitable...!!
Tks!
