The properties consist of a tray approximately 8" x 16", one-half inch thick surrounded with a round wooden rail, as illustrated. Add to this one small ordinary glass; one large ordinary glass and six balls, each 1 and 3/4 inch in diameter, colored Red, Yellow, Green, Silver, Blue, and Black. The tray, balls and glasses are shown. The small glass is placed on the tray and covered with the inverted larger glass. One of the colored balls is selected. There is no force and the ball may be marked for identification. The mouth opening of the small glass is positively covered by the large glass making it impossible for anything to enter the small glass without the knowledge of the spectators. The different colored balls are placed on the tray around the nested glasses. The performer holds the tray between his hands as a spectator drapes a large hank or fancy cloth over the tray, covering the glasses and the balls. No sooner does the spectator accomplish this than the tray is handed to him. The magician explains that he will show how to make a hole in one. "What colored ball did you select Red" All right, I will extract that ball, invisibly, from the covered tray then throw that invisible ball through the cloth, through the cloth, through the large glass and into the small glass. (His actions suit these words and when the cloth is removed, believe it or not, the selected ball is nested between the glasses.) There you are! The colored ball you selected is now in the small glass! Let's try it again! This extraordinary effect may be repeated at once. Re-read the above description and take note of the speed at which it is performed. The working action is remarkable. It can't fail. It is mechanically perfect. Yet, it is easy to do and one of the most confounding tricks ever invented. Use it for close-up, use it for platform or stage work. The entire outfit makes a most colorful display. Comes ready to work, including tray, glasses, balls and instructions.
