Get 'em at your sporting goods store. They are bright pink (which actually means, counter-intuitively, they are an invisible and easy load from the pocket) and great for a small PF style cup. Just found these the other day and they are perfect for my JES squatties.
Glad I could help.

I have no idea.

These balls are 2.25 inches in diameter. The lacrosse balls I have are almost 2.5 inches. These will be a lot lighter than the lacosse balls though.... The shipping weight on these balls are 1.3 oz per Amazon's website and a lacrosse ball is usually around 5-5.25 oz....

They are super light, but not actually compressible; a fact that is obvious as soon as a spectator handles one. Either type of ball would impress as a rather large, solid object that would be difficult to sneak under a cup in plain sight. (Little do they know).

Also, this topic talks about final loads, so I have a question concerning an interesting final load.
The other day I saw a stage magician and he did a trick that I had never seen before using a stick, with 4 pom pons on strings. It wasn't extremely magical, but it was very entertaining. I went home and looked it up online and I found out that it is called the "Pom Pom Stick." I'm thinking about buying/making one of these, and then doing cups and balls immediately afterwards. Then for final loads I could produce 4 identical pom pons, then look surprised, and take out an identical stick that has strings but no pom pons! The only problem would be that the pom pons aren't nearly as solid as lacrosse or tennis balls. |

You could have a customiser build you the sticks with whatever load you wanted on the ends. Fake balsa billiard balls like in Tommy Wonder's book, even.

Happy New Year To All!!
As Far As The Pom Pom Stick Goes While You Can Make It To Order You May Be Better Off Purchasing One From Kovari Magic. Do A Search Either Here On The Café Or Google For Kovari. I've Had Three Or Four Pom Pom Poles And Kovari's Was The Best. Good Luck, Vincent |
