On the Zombie floating ball effect.
Excerpt from the introduction:
There has been no more artistically magical effect produced over the last few years than Zombie, the one-man method of the floating ball.
As the beautiful silver sphere floats and gyrates, apparently of its own volition, the audience must surely wonder as to how gravity is so effectively defied. The magician is obviously master of the floating sphere, it is under his control, and yet no clue to the modus operandi is apparent if the effect is correctly performed. In the hands of a good showman, the trick has always created a minor sensation.
