Special gaffed cards make the handling easy. The force is simple, deceptive and well motivated.
You can perform "Sports" strolling or at a table. It resets easily and is very practical. Dean's handling of the ball production is fantastic. He offers a basic method which is very easy but extremely effective. He also gives alternative handling the pros are sure to appreciate! Included:
- Five special cards.
- Performance and instructional DVD showing all the work.
- A regulation "Eight Ball" for the surprise production.
The sports theme is always topical and your patter can be customized according to the sports season or current events. Audience participation and a surprise production make this a great trick.. And nothing gets a better reaction than when that ball hits the table with a big Thud!
As with all of Dean's effects, you get quality props and all the handling has been worked out to the finest detail. It's audience tested and a sure winner. And, you don't have to be a sports fan to love Dean Dill's "Sports".

Raise Your Hand if you Like Dean Dill . . . now if one of your hands is not in the air flick yourself in the ear lobe and go repent. The effect (an image on a card becomes a real object) is not new, and Dill is the first to admit this. However, his thinking behind this effect is very clever making it one of the fairest handlings of the concept. Everything seems totally fair and above board. Additionally you'll learn an excellent equivoque technique.
In this case, one sports ball of five is "chosen." The "chosen" ball falls off of the card and becomes an actual real ball. For $45.00 you get an instructional DVD, an actual 8 ball, and the necessary cards with pictures (actually stickers) of sports balls on them. Dill teaches a few variations. This is do-able as a strolling effect, but likely would be much better suited for a set performance. This is a fun effect with a theme that most people can relate to (sports). You'll need to supply your own presentation, but everything else is provided for you. Considering all of the props you get and the effect that you're getting, $45.00 is a small price to pay. A half star is lost for using stickers instead of professionally printed cards. 4.5 stars GEM!
