A fresh twist on the timeless Ball and Vase, this beauty is bound to leave your audience scratching their heads and grinning like Cheshire cats by the end.
The Ball and Vase has been a favourite among magicians and magic buffs for ages (we're talking centuries, folks). Its persistent allure has given birth to a plethora of variations, many of which have found a spot in the UK's Magic Circle. Yet, despite all the shiny new versions, the core principle of this trick has remained steadfast for over a hundred years (some things never change, eh?).
After a year of tinkering and brainstorming, Jimmy Fan has breathed new life into this classic conundrum. Presenting—drumroll please—The Barallel Vase.
“Barallel” is a cheeky mash-up of “ball” and “parallel,” perfectly capturing the vase's stylish symmetrical flair. It boasts a nifty holdout at the other end, tackling the age-old problem of an underwhelming finale. Now you can perform the standard ball and vase routine and wrap it up with a flourish—think coins appearing as the grand surprise or a seamless segue into a coin routine (because why not? You’re the magician!).
To keep things running as smoothly as a well-oiled machine, magnets are cleverly embedded throughout the gimmick. The hand-sewn leather balls are a massive upgrade from those fiddly plastic ones you might have struggled with—trust us, your hands will thank you. The dark red lychee grain leather and ebony-coloured wood give it a touch of class that’s hard to resist. Plus, the gimmick is hand-sewn using the same top-notch materials as the leather ball, so it looks the part too.
