The Effect

With the lights down low, you reach into your pocket and pull out a glowing sphere. Holding the luminescent sphere between your right thumb and forefinger for all to see, you pause for a moment before placing the sphere in your left hand. You reach back into your pocket, pull out another glowing sphere and place it alongside the first sphere in your left hand. You pull a third sphere out of your pocket and place it in your left hand with the others. OK, cool effect but nothing too tricky until you put three spheres in your left ear and pull them out of your mouth, or your other ear... You can make the glowing spheres vanish and re-appear anywhere you like.



Cost

$19.95/pair



Difficulty
(1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)

1-3 depending on your routine
By themselves anyone can use them 1, but some sleight is needed to dump or retrieve them...


Review

I love my D'lite set. I have a pair with red lights that I se alot around the holidays. Plucking lights off of Christmas trees and such. I've also started using them at my theater gig - grabbing lights off of their marquee and neon lighting to begin my routine. Great reactions - $20 well spent.


Overall
5 out of 5. With a little practice, you can do wonders with these things - you could center an entire show around them with some creativity.

The only downsides are:

1.) A while back, you could find these things in Toy Stores across the country- so they have some exposre; and you may get called out on them. I haven't thus far; but like everything - you're selling the show and not the gimmick.

2.) This one falls in line with number 1. The Masked Magician exposed these along with countless other props and gimmicks. Again, not so much a big deal as it is a minor inconvenience.
