Really Cool Sponge Ball Appearance

By Danny Orleans -

Sponge Balls! They are a staple in the repertoire of nearly every performer who entertains children with magic tricks. Want to see a great way to make that first sponge ball appear? A slow transformation from an "invisible" ball to a real one?

Meet Luis Carreon. He's a house magician at the Chicago Magic Lounge and a gifted sleight of hand artist. He's one of the very few magicians there who is as comfortable working the bar, the cabaret stage, tableside magic, the 654 Club and the family show on Sundays. And he's developed a very strong way to make a 1 1/2" sponge ball materialize. It's based on an advanced method to make a coin appear.

See it for yourself on the video below and then click on the other one to learn the handling. Thanks Luis for the share!
