Comment [Magicref]: This is Danny Archer's version of the classic 3 ball routine made famous by Silent Mora. The routine was made available in two versions. One version contains a net so that you can do the routine standing up. I have the non-net version, so I can't make any comments the net. Aldo Colombini, David Roth, and Dai Vernon also feature this effect (among others, I'm sure!). Danny's routine is good.

Contents:

1 What: Single rubber ball is produced, disappears, and reappears. The ball turns into two, then three balls. The balls are placed into the other hand one at a time, and transfer back to the right hand. One ball is placed in the pocket, but reappears. Finally, all the balls vanish.
1 How: Props explained, how to practice, and credit to Oscar Platek for key move.
