First Review:
Title: Amazing Magic Tricks with Sponge Balls from Royal Magic
Cost: I got it for 15 euros (11,494 pounds) Surely you can get for 10 pounds but there's shipping.
Difficulty
(1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)
I'd say 3
On this Dvd you will learn:
- to do many ways to Vanish and Appear a ball
- Change the color of a sponge ball ( you can do it with a coin )
- Cause a sponge cube into two sponge balls
- Cause a sponge ball to jump from your fist into a spectator's
- A routine which consists the spectator to guess how many balls you have in your hand they will never guess except if they already saw the trick I think it's called 2 in hand, one in pocket
Overall
I think this DVD is very good for people that are starting to do magic with sponge balls, I got this DVD and he explains it well sometimes a bit fast but you can go less fast by adjusting your DVD settings
The title is composed of
- Film
- Performance menu
- Explanation menu
- Bonus (add for other products from Royal Magic which is fun to watch)
I would give it a 16/20 |

That is a lot of shipping!
Why can't all mathematical notation be universal? Why!?!? (sorry, maths rant)
I nearly ranted about this too

but there's not really anything wrong with it.
OK, sponges, right, I'm thinking about getting something, is everyone just going to reccommend toolbox? _________________ I wonder why she never asked me to say "oo oo oo ooo" |

That was such a good line to come out of a magician! _________________ I wonder why she never asked me to say "oo oo oo ooo" |

I've looked at this in the past, it's £9.99 from emagictricks.co.uk by the way.
It's a nice place to start with sponge balls but I think toolbox is better value. _________________

If you have to, sponge off someone to get the extra fiver for toolbox. You'll be pleased you did.  _________________ Talk Magic Reviews

Lawrence, I bought Noblezada's Sponge DVD and have no complaints about it; I'm guessing that suggesting Sponge may link back to a previous review being a newbie, but for value for money over 'Amazing Magic Tricks with Sponge Balls' I'd recommend it.
Lots more content & 4 sponge balls to boot, plus I like the production of Noblezada's DVDs, they're really well explained & lots of different angles too.
That said, I haven't seen Toolbox, so I'd recommend comparing those two and seeing what you think

I'm not. I'm going to recommend "Earplugs" by Jay Sankey
