I searched and found this Zombie ball made in India, at Vanishing Inc. on sale.

I have seen them at the local magic shop and they are nice and well made. The gimmick is different, so you may want to get a gimmick from Rings and Things 2 to replace the one that comes with the ball.

You will need to make your own 30 by 30 inch scarf. Material / cloth called crape is light enough to use for the ball.

The main thing in presenting the Zombie is when the ball moves you do not, give a better visual for the audience that the ball is floating.

Thank you Bill.You have always been very helpful. I have the indian zombie,and it is quite heavy. As I want to do include some moves from naked zombie routine of raymond crowe, I need a lighter one( for the ring and ball moves) and with a little bit smaller hole(bare hand floating). Is there any way to get a vikings zombie ball ?

From what you are saying, I don't believe a Viking Zombie would work for you as well. From what has been said on the Café, the Viking Zombie Ball is a 4 inches in diameter ball. That means it would be heavier then a 3 inch diameter ball. From the gimmicks I have seen, they are all same size, so it would not fit your finger's as well. Viking's Zombies are made in Italy.

Maybe someone that owns a Viking Zombie can verify.

FAB Magic. There are several sizes. Comes with a perfect cloth, the best gimmick and a Crystal Ball Stand. It is light as a feather! Here is mine:

Here's another option from Fabmagic. It's a small ball with smaller hole made for kids but depending on what you want to do, it might work.

Thank you guys.
Yes Bill ! The vikings zombie balls are made in italy.The website confirms it.
I read in earlier posts that fab balls have really small holes. IS that true ! The moves I want to do are from contact juggling, and they are harder to do with light plastic balls, though I am planning to buy a fab ball for its easier floating benefit. The indian ball I own probably has a diameter of 5 inches. If the hole was just a little bit smaller, it would be great for the naked zombie moves. However, it is quite heavy and my finger hurts when I use it. The gimmick also puts a lot of pressure on the finger.
Here is a link for the raymond crower naked zombie ball. This is by far my most favorite zombie routine.

Asgar, have you thought of getting an aluminum tube that fits over the hole, and simply gluing it inside your ball. Then any pressure would be on the full length of your finger.

I have seen Raymond's routine, and it is amazing to watch.

I don't know if the Fab balls would work, as they are very thin plastic. I suggest you email them, and check to make sure. I believe they do not come apart.

Thank you Bill. I will work on that.Btw The gimmick hurts the finger. The ball is also too heavy for losander type of gimmick.

The indian ball is too heavy for the ring move, and the gimmick creates a lot of pressure on the finger when I use it in the traditonal way.
