Tops Treasury of Ball Manipulation

Overall customer rating: ★★★★★

reviewed by Dr David T Williamson (confirmed purchase)
Rating: ★★★★★ (Date Added: Tuesday 25 August, 2026)

Although there is a wide variety of sleights, maneuvers, and routines, the majority of the content toward the back (using balls with props) requires other apparatus that the magi may not have lying around, thus making that content null. The hand-drawn illustrations are terrible. Not only should those be redrawn by someone other than a 3rd grader, there should be a lot more of them! If you are a visual learner you might have a difficult time following the narrative. But, all said, for $7 it's worth the purchase. You might have to look long and hard, but you'll get your money's worth.

A serious rewrite is warranted.
