Preparing the trick

  1. When learning this trick, you must master the ‘Magic Ball’ trick to perfection.
  2. You will need two balls for this trick.

 

Performance

Set one of the balls aside and hold the other in your right hand, between your thumb and index finger. Pretend to move the ball from your right hand to your left, so that as you close your left hand, you take the ball with the fingers of your right hand. Now move your right hand (which is holding the ball) away from your left hand. Point to your left hand with the index finger of your right hand (see the video for instructions). As you open your left hand, you will show the audience that the ball has magically disappeared. Now point to the second ball resting on the table, pick it up with the index finger and thumb of your right hand, and place it in your left hand. Be careful not to accidentally drop the hidden ball from your right hand. Clench both hands into fists. Tap your fists together and open them, revealing the two balls.
