What's the size of the smallest Zombie ball? Is there a 2" size made?

The smallest I am aware of commercially made is Gen Grant's. I think it was 4" but it might have been 3"
Why not make your own? Richard

Vernet's "Mini Zombie" is very small.
I have a small one made by The Sorcery Shop. http://magicproducts.org/ Small metallic-looking ball. (2.5" inches) No hole. Pick up is by m _ _ _ _ t on the end of the gimmick to match another that was glued inside the ball. . I don't think they make them anymore. But like Richard Hughes says : " why not make your own ?

Yes, by making your own you can have it as small as you want. This of course depends on your use for that particular size.

I can understand how to put a hole in the hollow ball if I wanted to make it. But where can the aluminum 2" ball be purchased?
If you guys are talking about using the machine to make my own, I do not have the machine. |

Look at a crafts store. They will be plastic but look chrome. Or you can paint a ball with chrome paint.

Also a plastic Christmas tree ornament will work fine for a zombie . They come in silver , gold , red, green, blue , etc.
You will need to take a small hack saw to remove the protrusion where the ornament hanger attaches so you'll only be left with a hole. A metal thimble glued in makes a good receptacle to receive the necessary. Or as Richard Hughes says, you can use a plastic ball and paint it with metallic silver or gold paint . http://www.barnardltd.com/catalog.jsp?catId=129 http://pioneercraft.com.au/zen/index.php......d4c91982 |

I believe they sell styrofoam balls of different sizes too at craft stores. It is easy to make a hole with it. Check out your local craft stores.

It'd be easy to just use a ping pong ball.

But then if it's that small, why use the Zombie method? If it's that small and light weight, you can use more visual methods...

I am not using it for the Zombie. It is something similiar. That is why 2" is a must.
