Not neccessarily so. I'm sure it's possible to create the illusion of many sponge balls appearing from your mouth via slight of hand. Infact I'm sure you could even create the illusion of multiple balls of differing colours. Try standing infront of a mirror and palming a sponge ball to your mouth and then pretending to place it into your pocket. Then repeat ad nauseum (and I'm sure your spectators will feel naucious after watching anything come out of your mouth :wink: ).

All the best,

mr fish is quite right but from the quote above i assumed that he wanted to cough up a sponge ball ala egg production rahter than a misers dream production which is equaly valid.

Three words--Johnny Ace Palmer.

He has a bit in his FISM award winning act with sponge balls. He keeps pulling them from his mouth over and over and over. It's completely ridiculous, and I mean that in a good way. He even stops at one point and says "Doesn't that look real?"

He has a trio of videos out on the market, all worth their weight in gold, and one with his FISM act on it.

As stated inthe above post, it is basicaly a miser's dream move. Johnny just practiced it until it looked how it's supposed to look. It's amazing. If you'v enever seen him live, take the opportunity if you get it. At the least, buy his FISM tape. The best 10 minutes of close up ever. Period. End of discussion.

I mean, this guy won FISM with Sponge Balls! Sponge Balls!
