A ball is on the magician's table. A silver ball.
Like a mirror it reflects the many lights about it.
The shadows about the ball reflect like hollow
depths. A cloth is shown on both sides. The ball
is covered. The performer holds two corners of
the cloth. Slowly and unbelievably the form of
the ball rises , taking the cloth with it. It rises
up, up, until it is clear of the table. Then, the ball
floats away from the table, under the cloth, and
now it sinks down, out of sight leaving the cloth
limp in the performer's hands. But wait! It now
slowly floats up and into the view - towards the
performer! He steps backwards, then towards
the audience. The ball and the cloth follow his
movements. The ball disappears behind the
cloth and then up, up, and still up until the cloth
is almost out of the performer's reach. With his
hands high, the magician may turn showing all
sides. With a lot of apparent concentration he
guides the ball down. Down to the table and
back onto the base, its resting place. The cloth is
removed and the ball is now at rest.
This is a one-man effect. The performer has absolute control over the ball at all times.
The cloth is unprepared. This is the most amazing floating ball ever produced. It can be
worked in full stage light. There is no need to dim the lighting as with the old fashioned
floating ball method. Comes complete with the original Karson instructions, ball, base,
and gimmick. No cloth is supplied. This effect is suitable for club, living room or stage.
Highly recommended.
