Well I know your basic moves for multipluing balls and there are some pages on it in a Now You See It Now You Don't book I own. I was wondering if there are any dvds out there on the topic. Or if there are any good ones. Cause I am waiting for an order of multiplying golf balls to come in and wanted to know if there are any videos on the topic to help me along the way.

Try to get one of these:
- Multiplying Balls DVD by Tim Wright
- World Class Manipulations by Jeff McBride
- Shimada Volume 3 DVD.

I believe Penguin Magic has one too.
There is also a dvd on ball manipulation which is pretty cool. Teaches you a lot of moves you could incorperate into your routine.

Tim Wright's routine is the best I've ever seen.

I agree with the advice given so far - when I started many years ago, I just bought a set of balls, played about with them and decided what I thought was a good move and what was a bad move - how times have changed!!

Best of,

Dave

Geoffrey Buckingham, one of the finest-ever British ball/thimble manipulators, presents his entire act on his self - titled dvd. Easily obtainable by googling his name for plenty of sources world wide. He rather ironically performed for magicians in his heyday (1950's/1960's)under the by-line "It's Easier than You Think." I have his charmig lecture notes signed by the maestro himself - he was to billiard balls whatCardini was to the pasteboards, but minus the tipsy whimsy.

Dear DDennis:

Your point about the late Geoffrey Buckingham and his wonderful lecture video is well taken.

But, I hope that some of the younger readers of your post aren’t given the mistaken impression that Cardini was only a master of card manipulations (perhaps some magicians might be led to this false conclusion because of the scarcity of information and video of Cardini’s multiplying billiard ball routine).

Therefore, I would like to remind some of my fellow magicians that amongst the manipulative cognoscenti, there is pretty much a consensus opinion that Cardini was quite possibly the finest Card, Cigarette and Billiard Ball manipulator who ever walked the earth.

Best regards,
Levent
