Salinas presents two ideas from Bobby Baxter. The Mayfair Mountebank gives you two really clever ways to not only make a sponge ball vanish into thin air but also to make it reappear right before your volunteer's eyes.
Here's a perfect move to help you surprise your audience. When you already have two balls in your hands, they won't be expecting you to pull out a third... especially when you pull it out of thin air.
Salinas demonstrates how to make a sponge ball vanish into thin air. The ball is clearly in one hand, but when you pass it to your other... it has disappeared. Poof! Gone!
The next vanish is also a mini-lesson in misdirection. Always remember, the spectator will follow where your eyes go.
