This is great for any magician who likes sponge magic. At this price you can't go wrong!!

Goshman Sponge balls combined with card magic!


4 Aces are taken from the deck & spread face-up.


Explain the 'Pips' on the Ace cards are 3-D, not really printed at all.


You rub the Spade on 1 card, a Sponge Spade is taken from the card! This looks amazing.

And the 'Pip' vanishes from the card!


Manufactured by Steve Goshman.


In pips a Poppin you will find a pair of linked magic routines, each of which has a well-defined middle and end.
The whole package is completely modular, like a magic version of Lego
.

Skill level: -

The routines are designed to be performed by magicians who have average skills. No difficult slights are involved, however advanced manipulators will find spots were there dexterity can shine if they so desire.
For example no advanced card moves are required to do the effects, but the experienced pasteboard handler can easily substitute an ace assembly for the proposed simple gathering of four aces.


The booklet card bound with pretty coloured pics details all you need to do the routines split into two acts which consist of the heart, spade, club and diamond pips, being pulled of from the centre of the cards and realised as sponge shapes.
In act two they come of the deuces (2’s) in a different place, a joker is used for replacing the pips and it is also used for card location, worth the money on its own as a locater card.
You get two lots of pips and a special pip for a climax to the sponge routine, as has already been mentioned everything is modular and basically you get a sponge ball routine with climax and a set of specially printed cards, including locater previously mentioned.

The only addition you need is a set of blue backed bikes if you wish to follow the full routine, believe me this trick is bigger than the some of its parts and I highly recommend it just for the sponge items alone as you know I’m not a big card fan but there so much scope with the props provided.

Some slights are involved one on the card side the DL not discussed and two on the sponge side the retention pass not explained and the spellbound change :!: :?: or for us less informed a secret load, fully explained with reference to video material :idea: .
There is also an explanation on card locator preparation, what a fool iv'e been doing it the wrong way all these years, this gem is probably worth the money on its own.
The booklet is well laid out and takes you through the full routine in its modular stages then back through with relevant moves so you get the full picture all done in a nice story book fashion.
In addition an addendum adds facts about sponge ball care and handling and references to written and video material for further reference.
All in all I’d by it again and will probably by a second for the extra sponges.

Also check out "Heart to Heart" by Aldo Columbini (not sure who sells it).
Similar kind of thing with cards and sponge hearts, with a romantic side to it.

Always a winner with the girls.... :wink:
