Looks like a fun routine that’s off the beaten path. Has that nostalgia feel to it since many will remember this type of toy from their childhood and would be very believable as something that first got you interested in magic as the “floating” ball does seem magical to a child.
I think it would make a wonderful opener or middle trick in a parlor show. My only concern is that a coat may be required or at least may make this much easier to do. Anyone have this or know anything about it beyond the ad copy and trailer? https://magicshopsandiego.com/products/b......82263389 |

I have the same question. This is something right up my alley. I know what it takes to do silk to egg so I'm curious to know what misdirection and/or beats are created to pull this off smoothly. I may just have to pick this up.

I remember seeing that in a Blackpool video and thinking “That is SO funny!” . Googled “magic trick table tennis ball” for an hour and gave up. Thanks for bringing this to our attention, videoman!
Yeah I guess no dr€&pers of any kind are provided… a jacket seems almost a necessity, especially if you want the egg finale. But I might be wrong. Hope Ryan chimes in.

Arrived as I was leaving for a work trip. Tossed it in my suitcase to take with me and give me something to do at the hotel.
Brilliant routine. Not exactly a lengthy routine, but it will suprise folks. Looks like Ryan uses it as a silent opener to his parlor show. The props are well packaged and designed and the beats are all covered perfectly. I had a sense of how he stole the heavy ball and I was correct, but the switch for the heavy ball to the egg is quite brilliant. I am very happy with my purchase and look forward to working it into my show. Already thinking along the lines, of "while waiting in line for breakfast at Cracker Barrel the other day, I was roaming the gift shop and......" |

Great to hear, Michael! How about clothing restrictions?

Stellar piece of magic! It's novel and very easy to understand.
The price was $20 higher than I expected initially but it's totally worth it. The packaging and the materials provided are all top notch. The egg switch isn't really shown in the demo but it's very clean and practical - Would likely fool you if you saw it live. I ordered it with the extra box and balls and I'm glad I did because I can see putting some wear and tear on the box - which again, Is very beautifully designed. Lovely effect and I'm grateful to Ryan and Magic Shop San Diego for sharing it with the rest of us.

Provided the box doesn't completely fall apart wear and tear will only make the box look more authentic. I wonder if it's made of cardboard or something more durable.

I watched the tutorial and can’t wait to get this. It’s a great original routine. I like all the unexpected changes which make the prior actions impossible. This might replace my opener.

The box is made from a 16pt cardstock with a matte laminate on the box to add more strength, you will see in the box we also have put down a clear vinyl sticker around the entire spot where the gaff is to minimize tearing at that point on the gaff box. Since we manufacture everything in our warehouse in Escondido CA we had complete control on how to make the box as strong as we could possibly make it. In the end the box is still paper, but if well taken care of it should last you a very long time. If the box wares out you could always get just the box refill for $15, we tried to get you covered as much as we could. Love hearing the response to Ryan's wonderful effect and appreciate all of you!

If you like the magic you see in the video I highly recommend this. Just got done performing this at a nightclub and everyone really liked it, it was a favor. So easy to perform and you will love the reactions you get both when the ball kerplunks to the stage and then even more ahhhhhh's when you crack the egg. Such a great release and many thanks to Ryan for releasing this!
