Holy crap! That requires some major skill! Hot damn!

You make me want to go practice magic and some handling techniques more now!

I've been practicing the illusion of it rolling around from the top to the bottom of your hand like in the movie 'The Illusionist'. Still don't have it down yet. How long did it take to master that flourish?

@Ounces-It took about a year to get it smooth and to be able to go both directions. I practiced with a styrofoam ball from the craft store. They are light weight, super grippy, and about 10 cents to buy.

Nice stuff! I bet the girls love it

And is that really a billiard-sized ball or do you just have gigantic hands?

Nice! But I wonder if you are still working on it because I noticed that one way it goes superduper smooth, but from the pinky towards the thumb it goes a bit too much in steps, there where I think that most others actually have more trouble the other way around, funny enough.

Cardini would be proud. I don't think I've seen anyone do it as smooth as him though, but you do have some time to catch up.
