Effect
The Joker Ball & Tube is a colorful and engaging magic trick designed for visual impact. The magician presents a tube with three brightly colored balls (green, yellow, and red) inside. The balls appear to change order or vanish and reappear at the magician's command. The routine includes playful byplay, making it especially entertaining for children and family audiences.
Full Details
The trick includes a tube, three matching balls, and a vanish/appearance box. The props are large and visually striking, making them ideal for stage or parlor performances. The routine involves simple actions—covering the tube, snapping fingers, and revealing changes—but the effect is baffling. The vanish box adds an extra dimension, allowing a ball to disappear from one place and reappear inside the tube.
Who Should Consider the Trick
The Joker Ball & Tube is perfect for children's entertainers due to its bright colors and interactive nature. It also works well for family shows or magicians who perform in larger venues. While primarily aimed at younger audiences, some magicians, like Phil Evans, have successfully used it in adult performances.
Difficulty
The trick is easy to perform, requiring minimal sleight of hand. Beginners can learn it quickly, while experienced performers can expand on the presentation. The focus is on showmanship rather than technical skill.
