![]() ![]() This routine is suitable for performance as a close-up item or before quite large audiences, as two spectators hold a close-mesh net stretched between them into which the balls are allowed to fall. The moves are so cleverly conceived that, although the handling is simple, the effect is truly magical. The effect is repeated continuously with interesting variations even when balls are placed in the pocket, they travel back into the hands. ![]() Dai Vernon's famous routine in which three solid balls travel mysteriously from one hand to the other. An original Dai Vernon effect brought about by subtle means. When turned over, this card proves to be the one just named. An intriguing feature is that the spectator does not reveal the name of the card until the last moment, when a card with a different coloured back is seen to have appeared in the packet he has been holding. ![]() A card which is merely thought of by a spectator passes from a packet of cards held by the performer to another packet held by the spectator. Three coins pass through a solid table top-the handling is so natural and the method so subtle, that the effect appears to be real magic, especially when the magician repeats the penetration under seemingly impossible conditions.
