Trick: Color changing ball to square
Price: $6.25
Available: just magic

Effect: change red square into a red ball then change the red
ball to a black ball. can choose any variety of order

Review: Simple trick with nice ending result. The variety in order
can be changed. Very good trck for beginners to practice
sleight of hand and hiding techniques. If performed well, the
impact on audience is very good. I also like to be able to
add my own twist by doing what the audience says like change
back again or if they want to see whats in your hand and have
it dissapear. =)

Time to learn: 15-25 min

Rating: 8/10

Don't knock it, everyone has to start somewhere.
Have a look at some of the other reviews to get an idea of how to do it, the format is important.
Here is an example to follow:


Name : Diminishing Returns
Price : £13.99 Abrakazam
Type : Cards
Time To Learn : 30mins - 1hour
Difficulty : 2-4
Reset : almost instant
Examinable : No
What you get : A pack of gimmicked poker sized cards (not bicycle)

Effect : A deck is spread and ANY card is named. The deck is picked up and respread in full view. It is now around a third its original size. No sleights. No moves. The deck does not leave the spectator's sight!! The chosen card is placed in the miniature spread. Now the deck is again picked up and respread. Now the deck returns to its original size, but the spectators selection has shrunk!! The magician now visually restored the chosen card to its original size!! Remember, this is all in full view. No switching of decks!!

Comment : This is a very clever card trick, but you must practise this a lot before you perform it.

Rating 9/10

The insight was worth the wait though!
