Watching a recent Jay Sankey video..he mentioned and advocated the use of sponge cubes (they don't roll away, etc) I know its kind of organic just to cut and trim my own, but does someone have a resource on where to purchase nice, clean manufactured sponge cubes?...I have scoured the internet and this forum to no avail..

Eons ago Henry Holava published a routine with cube shaped "balls".
I'll check the "junk trunk". Maybe I still have mine.

I’m looking for cubes as well. Sometimes the simplest things are the hardest to find.

I wonder of these are compressible enough

You ARE aware that the earliest versions of the Three Sponge Balls to Pocket was performed with three solid plastic dice, which were not compressible at all.

The earliest Mark Wilson Course in Magic (circa 1970s) came with a number of nice props: aluminum cups and balls, magician's rope, genii cards, double backed/faced cards, and a close up pad (that's all I can remember). The course also included blue sponge cubes (my first introduction to sponge ball magic). They weren't the best quality but I didn't know the difference since I wasn't familiar with Goshman yet. They did, however, work fine for learning Wilson's routine. They certainly did have the advantage of not rolling when the spectator released them. I haven't seen any cubes since. Funny they've never caught on.

Foam of the type that sponge balls are made of can be cut very neatly with a band saw.
