Comments:
This is a part of a classic sponge ball routine with a twist to the end it is fun and allways raises a laugh. You will need to be able to do the standard sponge ball routines to perform this well but once practice it is a great illusion and it is very reasonably priced as it can add a good segment to your routine either as an interlude to other forms of magic or as a part of a longer sponge routine. It workes well on its own too.

Overall Rating: 8/10.

Saw the video of the trick, It looks very good, and the final display is awsome! THanks for the review.

It's in there somewhere

woops, I'm stupid. Wrong trick, i thought it was the joker effect, "bicycle made for 5"

thanks anyway

folks out there, i ordered this video, and the trick is great. ive performed the trick numerous times and alwasy gets a great reaction from the audience. one time i even did it twice for them, and still they were amazed. i strongly reccomend this trick for any close up magician.

I have this trick but I dont use the supplied hexagonal sponges. I just use regular 1 1/2 inch sponges.
