sponge ball dvd - fake transfers

Postby The Last Deck on the Left » Apr 26th, '06, 22:24



Hi there,

I've just been trawling through the many sponge ball posts on this site, but I wondered if anyone could help me with a question. I'm really not that happy with my fake transfer of sponge balls. I've learnt a particular method for a sponge rabbit routine (by Michael Ammar) - but that doesn't seem to look that great with sponge balls.

Can anyone recommend a good dvd that teaches good sponge sleight of hand as well as routines?

Cheers!

Try asking Spongeballsleightofhand :wink: although we haven;t seen him around for a while. He's been working for 8 years on his spongeball vanish :shock: .

On second thoughts .............. :roll:

Another vote for Patrick Page. There's 3 or 4 different false tranfers taught on the dvd, all of which are very deceptive. There's a review kicking about somewhere.

So Pat Page is the way to go then is it? :wink:

I have a set of sponge balls but Haven't gotten around to using them yet. I should be finished with uni in a few weeks, so I'll hopefully have a bit more time to play with.
