Hi. I'm thinking about learning Sponge balls. Anyone have any recommendation on what books or dvd (beside Jay Sankey's Ear Plugs) to learn from?

I bought 4 sponge balls about 2 mths ago, from a magician who doesnt noe how to pattter... Ang Hse Of Magic.. lol.. but he has skills... sponge balls are good, try starting frm basic things, like a R******* Vanish and stuff.. I dun suggest dvds or video, u should cr8 ur OWN routine

-Peace-

Ya. That's what I'm asking. Where to find stuff to learn the basics. Any recommendation? Thanks.

There's a video calle "25 tricks with sponge balls". This is an old video that has the basics of sponge ball handling and routines.

For books, you can try Jon Jensen's Professional Sponge Ball Tricks
Volume One and volume two. Covers sleights and routines. Quite good books actualy.

Hey. Thanks alot. I found the books Jon Jensen's Professional Sponge Ball Tricks in another fourm and they said it was good too.

Thanks! :)

Yup, haha.. getting books should help u, learning coin sleights may help u too in sponge balls, llol.. u can use georges old trick to P**m the BALL. lol.. After much tests, i found out that u cant.

u need to at least know the basics of sponge balls to creat your own routine isnt it? :blink: if u suggest not to get the dvd and ur asking him to learn the basics then where should he learn from haha

Kryptikalism does some sponge work, you could exchange tips with him at the next outing when you meet him. He got my friend pretty entertained with his routine :)

I said books. lol..

Do check out Patrick Page DVD on Sponge Ball. Currently sold at MagicWarehouse...pretty cheap compared to most DVDs on the market now

Try to get hold of the Encyclopedia of sponge balls magic by Frank Garcia if you can. However, it may be quite hard to find it since it's no longer in print and many magicians are also trying to get hold of it. You can try eBay, though the last I saw it was last year and it went for close to 200 USD.
