My intention is to share my experience with the balls I have crafted for my cups and balls work, close up restaurant acts, etc
It took me quite some time to craft them, use them with the audience over my side of the world (Asia Pacific), noted their responses, and recorded them for further improvements on my C & B work. I have created a webpage highlighting the different type of balls I used for my cups and balls routine and noted down the audience comments and responses for your viewing pleasure. Your comments on the balls would be appreciated. I'll accept any comments so I can improve on my craftmanship and cups and balls work with the balls. Here's just a glimpse of them...   Please Click Here to take a look Hope you like them. |

I usually like to customize my props as much as possible instead of buying the props that everyone uses.. It must have took a while to knit those, if that is what you did.

This is because they are also used for stage manipulation. I do make them with wooden balls too but they would be a bit heavy for ball manipulation routines. Quote:

Nice work James!
I like the stripes over the crocheted ones. Much more distinctive than what we normally see.

Most of them has solid or hard core (styrofoam or wood or plastic, etc) that are crocheted over. Others are 100% compacted wool felted to form a ball. As for the pom-poms they are very dense and have a solid feel.
