A superb trick from Jerry Andrus whereby a 2 1/2 inch rubber ball is repeatedly made to appear and dissapear through a hole in a plastic board - Zone Zero. It is clean, effective, and best of all, you can show both sides of the board and both hands empty throughout the performance.
Once the 'Master Move' is learnt, it can adapt to any small-ish object used with any other flat object such as a magazine.
There are no gimmicks or awkward apparatus which lends itself perfectly to kids parties, adult shows and impromptu performances. In short, a trick for any occasion and baffles young and old alike. I have performed this a couple of times already and it's already one of the tricks the audience talks and asks about. A reputation builder.

What you get:-
A plastic board with a hole in it.
A rubber ball.
Full instructions on Zone Zero and variations.
An instructional video for Zone Zero showing the performance as seen by audience and a performance showing the 'Master Moves'. Also included on the video is another variation using the 'Master Moves'. Instructions are not provided on this one but it can be followed and repeated with a little time. Also on the video is a rather poor quality recording of Jerry Andrus (-40 years or so) performing his tables routine and a Nuts and Bolt illusion.

Time to learn:- The basic moves can be learnt quickly and it took me 2 hours with my wife watching to get the routine to performance standard.

Value for money:- At first impression, it's on the expensive side but judging by the reactions of the audience, It was well worth it. It's not just one trick, it's the knowledge to perform many others. I'm already working on others myself.

Overall rating:- 9/10
