Doug It is a great routine! I used in my walk around has an opener (trading off with the ID deck)and I also made my set clones.Let me give you a tip cut a small notch in the blub part of the eye dropper so you can feel what side to show empty or full.

That's a great tip!
This routine sure brings back memories for me.

I just bought Clones by Patrick Martin.... it looks good. I was wondering if any videos so I could see the routine in action? ant help or info would be greatly appreciated.

Where did you buy it???

Before Mac King made it big in Vegas, we were over to a mutual friend's house and he performed 'clones'. It was one of his favorite routines. I have one stashed somewhere. I had forgotten all about it.

Some times the old stuff is still the GOOD stuff.

I've had my set of Clones for several years. I found this link for you, Doug...

Thank-you, my friend!

Doug, Actually that link is for a card effect developed by Michael Close. I attempted to edit, yet could not due to your subsequent post. Still attempting to find a source for the Spongeball routine. My bad, brother.

I just checked. I already have the Michael Close effect. But since you reminded me, I might just dig out the instruction sheet and re-learn it. I have a professional clown nose back from when I was doing clowning, so I'm all set.

With the hype leading to the Minion movie, I was thinking some yellow sponge balls with the googly eyes (similar to the Clones construction) and routine around minions would probably hit the spot now. I've seen Minion lunch boxes that one could even work into a stand up routine with larger sponge balls perhaps--just an idea.

Man, I can't even keep up on all the new computer animated releases these days! It's overwhelming.

I realize this topic is several years old, but I thought any followers might enjoy seeing a picture of these little guys (and the packaging, eyedropper, etc.).

Thank you, dleiber! Welcome to the Café!

I finally got the materials together and made a group of my own.

Looks like this is conversation was some time ago but I came looking for this subject. I cracked open a treasure of things, used performing table to table in the 80s. I had a portable "magic" table/stand then but cannot remember if I did "Clones" with or without the table. The instructions are likely buried somewhere else but I would like to resurrect this gem for grandchildren as a stand up (no table). I kept the eye dropper in chest pocket "clear" side out as I remember, so I did not need a marker to tell me what the observer was seeing. Just FYI. If the instructions are still available somewhere please let me know.

I sent you a PM, I can help you with the instructions.
