Ron MacMillan's Symphony of the SpheresLewis GansonAt the Annual Convention of the International Brotherhood of Magicians (British Ring) at Scarborough in 1957, an unknown magician walked away with the First Prize - The British Ring Shield. The manipulative act which caused so much enthusiastic comment featured Billiard Balls, and even well posted magicians in the audience were at a loss to know from where several of the balls were produced. Here was something new in manipulative magic, and there was much speculation as to the means whereby balls could be "stolen" so cleanly, without a hint being given of their original secret location, or... | ★★★★★ $9 to wish list | |

It is angle proof and traditionally performed seated on the ground cross-legged surrounded by spectators. The cups vary according to class status.

The Fairytale Of The Silver PearlPekiA particularly beautiful routine features a small silver ball or pearl that is removed from a seashell and takes a life of its own. It floats in the air, between your fingers, rides up a small magic wand, travels along the circumference of a large ball bearing and rolls along the back of your hand as it finally floats to you so it can be put back into the shell. You will learn the secrets of Peki's invisible thread that makes it much more invisible than other threads even in close up instances where viewers are only a few inches away from the action.

Having A Ball: Three Ball RoutineScott F. GuinnScott's version of the classic 3-Ball routine, with some fun twists and turns along the way, including color changes, perpetual productions from the mouth, and more! A lot more variety than most routines of this type. Scott's clear writing style, combined with tons of photos accompanying the text, will have you ready to perform this in the very near future. This is a strong, commercial, professional routine, and it is unlikely that your audiences have ever seen anything like it. It's a great routine to put in the middle or at the end of your set, and it doesn't use cards or coins! Modular,... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |
Peanut Butter & JellyScott F. GuinnHERE IT IS! THE ROUTINE THAT EARNED SCOTT A WORLDWIDE REPUTATION... With just three sponge balls, a purse frame and a "special something" (readily available from virtually any magic dealer), Scott has created a routine that is fun, charming, and extremely commercial. It has proven to be mystifying and tremendously entertaining for audiences of all ages, and has garnered praise from laymen and big name magicians alike. Many magicians have said that this is the best sponge ball routine EVER! Thoroughly explained along with photo-illustrations, this routine teaches a couple of utility moves... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |
Table-Hopping Cups and BallsScott F. GuinnThis is an exceptionally hard-hitting and very magical routine. Scott developed it with the Table-Hopping environment in mind, but it isn't limited to table-hopping venues--Scott also performs this with full sized cups in a variety of different performing conditions! If you work in the real world…this is definitely worthy of your consideration. The Cups and Balls is probably the most-performed effect in magic's long history. However, it is rarely seen by the public these days, especially by table-hopping close up performers. Table-hopping magicians aren't willing (or able) to dedicate so... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |
Tri-Color Cups and BallsRachel ColombiniAn unbelievable routine using tissue paper rolled into balls. The routine is basically Leo Leslie’s “Technicolor Cups and Balls” published many years ago by Supreme Magic Co. It is a very colorful routine, easy to do, easy to follow and with a logical finale. We added a finish that is both funny and baffling. You show three cups and three pieces of tissue paper, say one red, one yellow and one green. You roll the paper into small balls and these balls penetrate through the cups, first one, then two and then all three. Finally the balls disappear and reappear under the cups! One... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish listMP4 (video) | |
Cone-TactAldo ColombiniFrom the introduction: Dai Vernon's “Ball, Cone and Handkerchief” is a classic of magic. I've always been fascinated with this routine and many (many!) years ago in Italy, I developed the routine that you are finding here in this manuscript. The basic routine remains Vernon's but I have added several other moves and expanded the presentation by adding a few different effects. The main feature of the routine as I have developed it, is that it is entirely performed in the magician's hands, with no need for the table. A special thanks goes to the late Mike Rogers because he allowed... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish list | |

Jack Lamonte has drawn 86 clear illustrations to make studying the moves and routines a lot easier. Excerpt from the introduction: The Shell Game is essentially a close-up effect.

Mo Howarth's Growing Under GlassAldo ColombiniIt's a sort of Cups and Balls routine, yet it is done with only one cup which is actually a glass. It's a Two In The Hand And One In The Pocket routine, using the glass instead of the hand. The glass has a paper cover yet things happen without cover and under cover. It is one of those brilliantly unusual effects that you will use most of the time. A glass covered with a piece of paper and three sponge balls are shown. One after the other the balls disappear and reappear under the glass. If you like, one appears BETWEEN the glass and the cover. Two balls are placed under the glass and one in... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish listMP4 (video) | |
