Hi

Has anybody seen or got this trick and would like to do a reveiw on it ,I have searched the forums but could not find any (very very sorry if it has been reveiwed and im being blind).

Its just I have seen the video on JBTV's site and it looks very cool but im not even sure who its by and I have had no luck finding many places on the net with more info about it.



Thanks in advance!!

:) What you see on JB's video clip is what you get. I bought it some years ago from a now defunct dealer; coincidentally from Kent where you live! There was no inventor credited on the instructions. It is very easy to do but needs a LITTLE handling practice on 'the cop' which is quite natural. Any ball can be chosen but you have to close the swivel lid. It can be repeated as many times as you wish BUT following the old magic rule I wouldn't. IF you must only repeat once. The small box is quite well made though I think you could remake it in a slightly larger size for stand up. The marketed model was approx 5 inches by 1 1/2 inches. I have since passed it on to a mentalist friend as a gift. It looked home stained. The green & yellow balls I had were a bit dull in colour and the red one could have been a shade brighter. but you could get three more and colour them brighter. Anything else. PM me.

Could be tempted to sell my completely unused one. Never got around to including it in our act and a bit bulky to carry around for table hopping although would work well if you could be bothered to carry it.
Anyhow it's easy to do and would even fool magicians. Angles do need to be considered although they are pretty good and re-set is pretty much instant.

I have been thinking of getting this for some time but have always seen something else when it comes to purchasing (damn you CUPS !)

Could you be tempted with a trade Happy Toad ? If so send me a PM and I will send you a list of my trade items.

Send me your list and I'll look but I wouldn't hold out too much hope as I have just about everything I want :wink:
