The apparatus supplied is to all appearances a replica of a miniature plastic Ball & Vase, which is familiar to most audiences, and a part of many beginner's Magic sets. However it has been additionally gimmicked to enable you to present the complete Silk & Ball Vase routine that will baffle even those familiar with the popular Ball & Vase. The routine: A small vase is opened, and a tiny handkerchief removed from inside. The handkerchief is magically "rolled" into a solid ball. The ball is placed in your pocket, and re-appears inside the vase. The vase is tapped, and the ball magically penetrates right through the vase. The ball is again placed in your pocket, and again re-appears in the vase. Finally the ball vanishes, and the original silk is found again in the vase. This is a combination of the classic Ball & Vase, plus the handkerchief pedestal, and the apparatus can be used for other routines along the lines of the one outlined in the instructions. We have a larger wood model of this item, but the higher cost prevents some performers from adding it to their acts. This tiny model, that exactly replicates a Ball & Vase, costs a small fraction of the large model, and comes complete with Vase, Balls, Silks, and illustrated instructions.
