The magician displays a small piece of chromed brass tubing and a steel ball bearing. Talking about how magic is the art of defying the laws of physics, the magican places the ball on top of the tube. Obviously the ball is too large to fit inside. Of course with the power of the mind, it is possible to do the impossible. Holding the tube and ball at the performer's fingertips, seemingly under its own power, the ball starts melting downward and into the tube! There is absolutely no way for this to happen! The ball melts all the way down into the tube and the just as mysteriously, the ball begins to move back upward and once again to the top of the tube.
 
The magician asks a spectator to cup their hands together. The magician holds the ball and tube over their hands and suddenly the ball drops all the way through the tube and into the spectator's hands! The tube is also handed to the spectators and sure enough, the ball easily fits through the tube as the spectator gives the ball and tube full examination. Did the tube expand or did the ball shrink? I guess we will never know! Comes complete with the ball, tube, and instructions. This is one of the great classic close-up effects in magic that is simply unbelievable and often overlooked. 001CBMBALLANDTUBE
