The basic effect of the classic Ball & Vase routine is that the magician removes the ball from the vase and places it in the magician’s pocket. Suddenly, the ball reappears inside the vase.
To conceal the gimmick and make the movement more natural, we made some innovations to the classic version of Ball & Vase. After extensive experiments, we devised a new method to control the vanish and appearance of the small ball, circumventing the problem of the gimmick being exposed. As a result, a visible extra layer no longer exists, allowing for better concealment of the secret. The original designed method allows for exactly the same action when lifting the gimmick, making the move to activate the gimmick more natural and covert, with no suspicion whatsoever.
