Ball Bounce Sponge Ball Magic Trick And Method -Tutorial

Effect

A sponge ball is put over a brown paper bag, and then dropped in. When the bag is looked into, the ball is gone! So, the magician reaches into his pocket to get another one. The same thing is done, but a little different this time. This time there is a ball in the bag, but this isn't just one ball anymore. Now it's two!

Preparation

Get two sponge balls (or more, if you want to extend this routine) to put in your pocket. Get another sponge ball out on the table. Finally, get one brown paper bag (the ones used for lunches).

Method

Get your sponge ball on the table ready. Crunch the bag a little to get a slide in the back of the bag. Make sure this is done on a table that cannot be seen through. The reason for this is, when you drop the ball down the slide, it will fall off the back. If they see the ball roll off, the trick has been ruined. Show them the inside of the brown bag. It will empty. No ball will be visible, if you keep the one you dropped at your feet.

Reach in your pocket to get a two more balls. Palm one, and show them the other. They will think you have one, but you really have a hidden one behind it. Drop both of these actually INSIDE the bag. When you dump out the sponge balls, they will appear to have multiplied. Repeat this process, until you feel that they get your point. Try to add in your own variations and patters to keep the routine going and keep the spectators' attention.

Notes

*This trick can only be done to an audience in front of you. This is angle restricted.
*Use a new bag. You will be able to do this trick better with a bag that is not as crumpled.
