I have been trying to find somewhere that sells black balls (crocheted or not) for a cup and ball routine, preferably smaller than 1" since I have smaller hands. Thanks

Rings N Things sells crocheted balls of many sizes and colors, including black:

For a supernatural chiller mixing magic (prestidigitation, legerdemain) with Magic (occultism, mysticism), check out my novel MAGIC: AN OCCULT THRILLER at http://www.amazon.com/Magic-Occult-Thriller-Reed-Hall/dp/1453874836

I remember Rachael Columbini performing a "Rainbow" Cups & Balls routine wherin she rolled different colored tissue paper into balls in front of the audience...

I have used crumpled foil balls successfully. There must be some material in black hat would work.

You can find many possibilities by googling "etsy crocheted balls". I bought some crocheted wooden beads at


https://www.etsy.com/listing/209229263/c......s-choose


and liked them. They have quite a variety of sizes and colors, including black.


I haven't used them for cups and balls. I can't find them at the moment, but when I do I'll write again to give you a sense of whether they'e noisy.


... Later: They make a soft, dull thud when dropped from a height of about an inch, whether onto a table, my not-very-cushy close-up pad, or a twice-folded bath mat. I don't know how much of an issue that is: it's soft but definitely audible.


Good luck!

If you're interested in monkey fist balls, I make those for people and I can do them in black. PM me if you're interested and I can provide you with details and options.
