Why sponge balls are a classic

Sponge balls compress to almost nothing and spring back to full size, so you can hide extra balls in your hand and make them multiply. Some of the strongest moments happen in the spectator’s own hand.

Which size?

  • 1 inch for close-up at a table.
  • 1.5 to 2 inch for parlour and walk-around.
  • Super-soft balls are easier to compress and hide.

Questions, answered.

Are sponge balls good for beginners?

Yes. They are cheap, forgiving and very strong, and the basic routine can be learned in an afternoon.

What size sponge balls should I buy?

For most close-up work, 1.5 inch is a good start. Use larger balls for bigger audiences.
