This effect is performed with balls of various colors. It is taught to you in pantomime style and is best presented with music. There is no reason, however, why this effect cannot be “Pattered” and used without music, or pantomimed without music.
The effect of the different-colored balls is very pretty and will make a good number for your programs. Before you attempt this experiment, however, be sure that you have mastered the moves in the preceding routine.
Four balls mysteriously appear between the fingers of the Magician's right hand, one at a time. These balls apparently change color at will. At the finish, a red, a white, a green, and a yellow ball are held between the fingers and are then dropped onto a plate one at a time to prove them solid.
How it is done
The method, 21 drawings and all it needs, inside the library.
