Has anyone ever tried wetting the cork on the Zombie gimmick to hep it expand and hold the ball more tightly? I'm trying that and it seems to work. Or maybe I'm crazy.

I snap a small dark color balloon over the cork to give it more gripping power.

I haven't needed to do anything like this yet mine stays fine on its own... I got the ball from vikingmagic dot com... turned out very nice

I spray paint the cork quite regularly and this gives it the grip required but I do like any idea of more grip or I just change the size of the cork and repaint etc..not sure if water would ruin the cork.
I use a short routine to music and it plays very well, don't use it in every show but use a routine Ive fine tuned over 40 years with corporate shows Im involved in etc..thanks for the advice on gripping etc.. Click here to view attached image. |

I hav replaced the cork with a rubber piece for better grip on my Zombie Ball gimmick. Additionally, you can use a rubber coating to put over your cork.

As I hold the ball I push the gimmick in firmly with my thumb. To release just twist the ball slightly and pull.
I think I picked that up from an old Jeff McBride video years ago. |
