A Couple Of Sponge Magic Tricks
Inspired by Bicycle808 this is also a pritty review
I decided to put all these in the same review because they are all related and you can compare all three of the following tricks. It was quite hard to review them because there is not much to them but as tricks I like them so, I thought I would give it a go
Colour Change Ball To Jumbo Square
http://www.penguinmagic.com/product.php?ID=118
Effect
The magician starts with a red sponge ball and attempts to make it jump from one hand to the other or vanish. But he seems to have messed up the trick as a spectator notices a red ball in his hand. As the magician opens his hand there is not a ball but a jumbo cube. The magician tries again to vanish the cube this time but only manages to turn it in to a black ball!!
What you get and for how much?

Review
My first sponge magic trick this was and it was easy to do and quick to learn. I enjoyed learning it and still perform it sometimes now
Over All
I would give this a 7 put of 10. Nice simple trick with a good effect. Easy to learn Not my favorite sponge magic trick but worth looking in to.
Its Only 1!

Effect
For my next trick I will need three balls. One appears in my right hand and two in my left. After allowing the audience a chance to examine these balls two of them are placed into a spectators hand, the third vanishes! I now place two balls in the spectators hand and one in their pocket. On opening his hand he finds there are three balls! Again I put two in the left hand and one in their pocket and I ask the spectator how many balls he believes to be in his hand. The spectator then opens his hand to show the number 1!

This is a good kids trick but also good for adults. Slightly harder than the above trick but still worth looking in to. If you have the will power to sit and learn it then you will be fine.
Over All
I would give this a 8 put of 10. Nice trick with a good effect. Good for both children and adults.
Three Sponges To Four
http://www.magicstor.com/files/sponge_tricks.htm
In my next trick I cause three little sponge squares to disappear and then reappear as many times as I want to. Then I place sponges in the spectator's hand and ask him "How many sponges do you think you have?".
His answer does not matter. When I ask him to open his hand he is holding a large sponge shaped number 4!!!!

Review
Very much the same idea as the above trick. Slightly different as you have sponge squares and not balls but the idea and some of the working is the same.
Over All
Same as the last trick. I would give this a 8 put of 10. Nice trick with a good effect. Good for both children and adults.
I have adapted both the above “number” tricks and given them a personal touch. You could even possibly link them together if you wanted to in some way. It does not take a lot of imagination to add a personal touch to these tricks.[/i]
