Mora Ball Routine
Think you know the classic Mora Balls and Net? John reveals the secrets of making a simple trick into something truly magical. This is very commercial, visual magic, that packs small, and plays big.
Three roulette balls are magically produced, one at a time, in a very clean manner. They then inexplicably disappear from one hand to reappear in the other. One of the balls is placed in the pocket, but still, three remain. This is repeated, each time, stressing the fairness, and yet three always remain. Finally all three balls disappear at once.
As simple as the plot may sound, John’s handling gets a tremendous reaction through his streamlined handling, and his focus on simplicity, naturalness, and application of “changing the moment”. (34:50)

Fixing Fundamentals

Proper technique achieves a consistent outcome by paying attention, “even to trifles,” essential incremental adjustments that separate the experts from the dilettantes. Fix these fundamentals, and everything you do looks more polished and professional.
Tips and touches to improve; Top Change; Glide; Palming; Counts; Double Lift; Crimps; False Shuffle; Force; Side Steal; The Pass … and much more to learn in the process!
