Regarding the Joker's Tube or Strat-O-Sphere effect, does anybody have alternative ways of vanishing the ball instead of the using the vanishing box that comes with it. I'm looking for other ways besides the change bag also.

Do not have an alternative, but if you add a piece of elastic across the top of the chamber, you can turn the box upside down, along with opening the 2 doors.

I like the vanishing box better than the tube part of the trick LOL.

Chinese egg bag?

Magazine roll?

Always hated the box, but I purchased a black foulard (similar to a Zombie-type foulard but with a difference) during a Duane Laflin conference almost 20 years ago. Can't find it on a quick online search, but it's more convincing, and very deceptive. You can even show the cloth on both sides quickly.
EDIT: Just found it. It is indeed by Duane Laflin and is called the "Vanish Cloth"
