Hey lads,

How's the form?! I perform stand up mindreading shows but in the need of two specific props that I'd say be well known by members of this forum Smile I'm looking for two red balls, one that bounces and the other than does not. So I suppose s***** bouncy ball for non bouncy ball. Obviously they would have to be identical Smile

Lastly I don't know if there is something like this on the market but....I want to have a tennis ball in a gear bag and either via timer or via my command I want the ball to jump out of the bag? Is there anything on the market that could deliver on this or is it a bit too random?

As always thanks very much for your time, Any thoughts,advice or links to specific props would be great!

Thanks lads!

Pete

Bounce, No Bounce Balls by Daryl for the first item. You could put the second item together at a Radio Shack.

Thanks Id11017! Just wondering would those be suitable for stage shows? I'd like them to be very bouncy.....like for example drop the ball and it literally bounces shoulder height?

You might have to provide a little momentum for the bounce ball to reach shoulder height, but the non-bounce ball (with the same momentum) will land with a thud and stay there.

Stanyon's right.

There's an effect you can google called "Balls Up" that will toss a ball out of your case at you, and after a delay several more balls if you like.

Thanks very much Stanyon and Id11017! Really is appreciated Smile

Michael thanks for the info! Sounds great!! I think I may be having a slow day (as per usual) but I cant seem to find that effect. Any hope that you could supply me with a direct link if you get a chance? Also would it be suitable for tennis size balls? Again thanks very much for your time and help Smile

Cheers lads!

It's hard Googling "balls up" in Ireland (or England for that matter) I imagine you don't get many magic tricks in the search results... More like angry customers of cowboy builders Smile
