Two small (2.5 inches tall) sponge rabbits are displayed. "Mama" rabbit is placed into a spectator`s hand, and "Papa" rabbit is placed in the magician`s pocket. Somehow, the Papa rabbit jumps into the spectator`s hand! The two bunnies are placed back into the spectator`s hand, and when she opens her hand and whole family jumps out! Comes complete with all of the necessary sponges.Regular version includes 3 large bunnies and 5 small bunnies.Professional version includes 3 large bunnies, 20 small bunnies (one of them black) and sponge "aspirin tablet."

The Magician states that for his next trick, he will need three balls. Suddenly one appears in his right hand and two in his left. After allowing the audience a chance to examine these, two balls are placed into a spectators hand, the third vanishes.

The Magician now places two balls in his hand, one in his pocket. Opening his hand, there are three balls! Once more, he puts two in his left hand, one in his pocket and asks the spectator how many balls are believed to be in his hand. Regardless of the guess, he answers, "But I only have one in my hand-" then opens his hand to show the number 1!

Have you ever been caught Red Handed doing your magic? Have children yelled out, "I know how you did that!" or "I saw it in your hand," or even the old favorite, "Turn it around!" Or maybe you've performed close-up magic and have caught looks from the spectators when they spied you doing "the move" which was supposed to be secret.
Well, here's your chance to turn the tables on the hecklers and know-it-alls by letting them catch you Red Handed - on purpose!
Using the same modus operandi as the Miracle Rabbit, Big Bunny and Growing Ball, you can suddenly or subtley change a red 2" sponge ball into a life-size big red hand.

The magician displays a red sponge ball and claims that he will actually make it disappear in front of the spectator's eyes. Slowly and methodically, he places the ball into his trouser pocket and claims, "It's gone!" After the groans have died down, he offers to do it again-this time for real. He places the ball on top of his left closed fist and pushes it down inside. When he opens his hand the ball is seen to have changed into a large (7 inches tall) sponge rabbit!

Comes complete with all of the necessary sponges.

This gilt frame is designed for use by anyone who is serious about performing sponge ball routines but it can also be used for coin routines or any close-up routine where you need to take your object out of your little invisible purse

Whilst the routine is simple to describe the effect is quite novel, highly entertaining, and totally baffling. The routine actually consists of three different effects. The first part is where the three coloured balls are made individually to travel magically between the table and your pocket. This is varied with the second effect and the finale is where the three small balls change into a large three coloured ball. This is a routine that will delight those who are already sponge ball performers and give them an additional and totally different routine to add to their sponge ball armoury yet the illustrated instructions will allow a dedicated novice to perform this complete routine with practice.
