I received this the other day and I'm looking forward to watching the DVD and starting on the path to spongeball magic (which is new to me at the moment). I've only watched the first few minutes of the DVD but it looks good so far.

I wish I'd known about this package before I'd bought my sponges and square ball. Might still consider buying it when I've got more money.

I got it for Christmas this year and yesterday - on new year's eve - I was doing my first two spongeball routines for a (very) small audience.
The response for the spongeball routines was stronger than ever received on any of my card tricks until now, and it took me only a few hours of practice starting from zero.
The DVD is very good. You get the the basic moves and handful complete routines. Each one performed by it's inventor. Enough to put together s.th. very strong.
All moves are well explained but not as detailed as possible. Steve Dacri is always making the point again, that everyone does the moves a little different anyway and it was OK for me to find out how the move is done naturally by myself. If you are ok with the explanation of e.g. Gregory Wilson you'll have no problems to follow the explanations here.

The best is: you can start immediately to learn and perform because
1) all the stuff you get in the box is explained on DVD and
2) there is not much on the DVD where you need additional stuff not included in the pack.

Overall it's a 5/5 because of the big value for little money.

After learning the stuff on here you could easily put together a 10-15min routine using sponge balls alone. And that's without the family of bunnies!


mmmm; does the DVD go into the best way to wake your spectatators up afterwards? :D

Happy New Year,
John.


Oh Dear, an attempt at sarcasm which really didn't work lol.
