Hi,

A friend of mine had to stop clowning because of health issues and I inherited a lot of her clown stuff ... I'm trying to weed out the things I will use and won't use.

With that background, one of the things I have inherited is new in the box (with a little slit in the side to retrieve the directions) and is called a Telesphere. It has tubes and clear tubes and balls. I've tried and tried to figure out how to use it from the written instructions, but they are so hard to understand ... this could be why it's still in the box. My friend probably bought it and couldn't figure it out either.

Has anyone heard of this and/or does anyone have any SIMPLE easy directions for this? Is it a good trick or something I should pitch? Also, is it a walk around thing or a stand-in-front-of-the-birthday-party-kids-thing?

Which brings me to another question ... at birthday parties, I sort of use the same magic tricks over and over but with parties the next year for the same child, I need some new stuff. I currently use a dove pan, the magic coloring book (with magic paint pallet), and a change bag. Since I will be going to convention in less than a month, I would like some ideas before I go shopping, if you have any.

Thanks!!
