I hope Kindred Spirits will forgive a return to this subject matter, but as I made this tutorial for LSOH.org, I had a feeling there were some UA-cam students that might enjoy a peep at the info… please lemme know if I was right :) *or wrong LOL
Dear Doug, you are a great magician, your skills are great! I am also a practicing street magician. You might like this new idea with sponge balls.Thank you! Viktor Renner. Germany. ua-cam.com/users/shortsZFuswcY4dWM
Awesome stuff doug. Also love the idea as the balls as giveaways. O'h and love your over the shoulder teaching! That is so great to get the proper view to learn easier.
I was talking with a buddy just a few months back and neither of us could remember the name of the magic shop there in Dothan. I will definitely be giving him a call to let him know. I caught the magic bug much the same way you have probably inspired one of the kids you performed for. Cliff Holman was doing magic shows in The Spinning Wheel ice cream shops in Birmingham back in the late 60s. I bet I sat through 4 or 5 of them over the two days he was there. On the second day, I was brave, or curious enough to make my way to the front of the crowd and after his last show, he came up to me and said that he noticed I had watched several of his shows and asked if I wanted to learn some magic. He gave me a paddle with a top hat on one side and a rabbit on the other. He also took the time to show me how to perform the illusion. What surprised me was that he was interested in me showing the trick to him the next time I saw him. I practiced it over and over again, and the next month when he returned to The Spinning Wheel I was right there in the front row. After the show, we sat and talked for a while and I performed the trick for him. He made me feel special and we had a few encounters over the years. The last time I saw him was at a mutual magician's funeral. Ken Neighbor passed away and I got another opportunity to sit and talk with Cliff. We shared a few stories and had a few chuckles. Thank you for reminding me of some great times and sharing your videos. Take care.
Great shirt Doug! I love the idea of giving out two sponge balls at the end. I did that for one of my kids birthday performances and went over well. Who doesn't like free stuff they can fidget with.
Yes indeed, I really feel it is an ideal giveaway… I mean what would a real magician do if he could produce ‘toys’ from thin air? He’d give them to kids! Also: thanks for the positivity on the shirt!
Spongeballs are so strong. I perform this for adults, and the reactions are the exact same as kids, if not stronger. I think it is slept on by a lot of magicians (though probably not in my circles 😊)
Wow, what an awesome video. It was enjoyable and informative as all your videos are. I appreciate all the time and effort you put in on these. You are the best.
Kids! The best or harshest critics going! I love your sponge ball tutorials ! I know what's happening n still go What!? Thanks for sharing all your videos Sir!

This vid was a very helpful update Doug, thank you.
Thanks Doug for some great tips from someone who's had years of learning. The joy you gave those kids is priceless.
You are my go-to magician if I want to impress people at school. Your quite great for teaching magic for sure.
Appreciate that positivity! Thanks!
This is just great! Big love from the UK.
Thanks Doug, always like you explanation of the sponge balls
Thanks Tim. As I upgrade these basic lessons for the new site, I figured some students in the interwebs might find useful info
Getting into magic, your videos are definitely the best!
Glad ya think so, thanks for dropping a good word!
Dude.... I did this exact routine at a wedding reception, and it killed!
Thank you for this tutorial! 👍🙂
This is the feedback that lets me know I’m doing exactly what I should be doing! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the feedback Vin!
Love the flexibility of sponge balls. You can start with one, do great magic, and then a second sponge appears and miracles start happening
Yes indeed! It can be 3 seconds or 3 minutes!

I am liking the new LSOH shirt you are sporting!
Thanks, Tim. I had this one made as a test and will likely be making more.
Great shirt Doug! I love the idea of giving out two sponge balls at the end. I did that for one of my kids birthday performances and went over well. Who doesn't like free stuff they can fidget with.

Yup these are facts! Only thing better is bunnies (*& bunny babies) I think modern magi might overlook this classic but I’m here to keep it alive!
Wow, what an awesome video. It was enjoyable and informative as all your videos are. I appreciate all the time and effort you put in on these. You are the best.
