Baffles' Novel Production Ball Fake
By Charles R. Brush

IN THE one to four billiard ball trick at the conclusion of the four ball production in the right hand, the performer suddenly reaches out with his left hand and four balls appear there too.

The fake pictured here is perfect for this effect. The four balls are joined together by three flesh-colored strips. A small hook is soldered on the middle strip, which permits the fake to be hung under your coat.

The fake fits exactly between your fingers so there will be no need for quick adjustment when you reach for it. Your fingers dart under your coat, grasp the fake firmly and pull it instantly into view. This is done under cover of the production of the fourth ball in your right hand. The misdirection is excellent.
