The Effect
Performer shows a clear plastic tube, a metal, cylindrical cover (with three coloured circles, green , yellow and red painted on it),three coloured balls(red, green and yellow), a box and a stand. The clear plastic tube is placed on the stand and covered with the metal cover. The three balls are placed in the tube with the green ball at the bottom, yellow in the middle, and red at the top, the same order as on the front of the metal cover. but when the cover is lifted, the blass are showen to be in a different order, red at the bottom, green in the middle and yellow at the top! This is repeated. Now the yellow ball is placed in the clear plastic tube before the cover is placed over it, the cover is put in place, then the green ball is placed into the tube, followed by the red, but when the cover is lifted the red ball is in the middle of the green and yellow. This is repeated ecept instead of putting the red ball in the tube, it is places inside the box, the doors of the box are pulled open to show it has vanished. The red ball ois found to be between the yellow and green ball in the tube.

Difficulty
1/2 out of 5, it is very easy to do but can take a bit of practice to keep things smooth.



Review
As I said, it can be bit tricky trying to make it look very smooth but it's really easy to get the hang of. The box can be used for other productions/vanishes and the effect is really good. It has still to be shown to my parents tomorrow but I think it will go down well.

Overall
Worthwhile spend? Yes! If I had to I would definately buy this again. The props are good quality and nice and bright. This would be ideal for kids show, as for adults, well....I'll find out tomorrow.

By the way, Happy New Year everyone!!!!!!

mom nice review may well put this on my wish list cheers MagicDiscoMan.

yes this is a good trick and i agree the quality of props is very good for what you pay, all metal, wood and plastic
