Audley Walsh teaches you two wonderful routines including script ("The big bad wolf and the three little pigs" and "Time marches onward") plus a set of sponge ball moves. He uses a bell which he and the spectator ring several times during the routine. This is a very interesting idea for misdirection as well as camouflaging moves and palms.

The moves you will learn are

• finger palm or finger pinch
• finger pinch with two sponge balls
• pick up
• ring the bell
• thimble move
• sleeving
• lapeling
