Has anyone purchased these?
http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/4481 Any feedback? I know they're not "super soft," so I'm wondering how many I can comfortably fit into the spectator's hands for a climax. After reading Daffydoug's thread, I made my own ladybugs. But they still look "homemade." These are obviously better looking. Anyone have any experience with them? Thanks, everybody! --Frank |

Frank, I just bought them, and love them. So much I just ordered another set. No they are not super-soft. They work fine, I care for super-soft anyway.
They look very nice as a close up prop! Nala |

Thanks Nala! That's what I was thinking of doing, buying 2 sets! Have you tried putting 8 in the spec's hand? I do restaurant work for kids, mostly, so I'm wondering if 6 or 8 would be too many. I use 9-10 super soft sponges for my climax now.
Thanks for the feedback, Nala! |

I have them and I would say they are too firm for 8 in the hand. They look great but I would keep them to a 4 bug routine. IMO

I also use a 4 "bug" routine.I ordered two sets as I am sure they will get plenty of use!

What's the size of one ladybug compared to spongeballs? 2.5" sponge balls size approx?

The Ladybug sponge effect was first thought of as far as I know by Rodney Hulsley. Houdini's put them out. This was in the early part of the last decade. I worked with Rodney at the time that he was developing these and then went to market with them.

Ron Bauer illustrated making ladybugs from sponges in 1983 in a Genii article.

Frank I forgot about that. For somereson when Rodney's Lady Bugged came out I had a feeling I had seen the idea before, but couldn't place my finger on why. Now after seening that I do remember.

Anyone seen Rick Lax do his routine? I confess; I'm baffled.

You can see it here. The opening sequence, showing two empty hands is killer. So is the closing sequence. (It's a great routine.)
