From one of the masters of close-up magic, Al Goshman, comes this NEW sponge routine that you will love. It is called "AND THEN THERE WERE FOUR!" After performing this, you will have the people swearing that you are a sleight of hand expert, but believe it or not, little skill is required.

You hold a sponge cube in your hand and close the fist. Taking a coin, you touch the hand, reopen it, and TWO cubes appear! You repeat the process and this time - THREE cubes appear! Wow! But wait ... imagine this ... the three cubes are seen in your hand! You ask the audience, "Would you believe that if I closed my fist that there is only one - but it is SUPER LARGE and cut into the shape of the numeral "four!!!" A smooth effect that anyone can master, and this can be performed in the spectator's hand.

Includes all the necessary sponges. At our Toronto, Ontario, Canada trick magic store we demonstrate hundreds of tricks!
