This is based upon one of the all-time classic "apparatus magic" effects, MAK Magic's "Strat-O-Sphere".   It's BIG...it's FLASHY...it's a BAFFLER...and it's EASY TO DO!  What more could you want in a routine?

    The magician draws attention to an opaque tube resting on a black base. There are three balls (red,yellow & green from the top) printed on the front side of the tube. After lifting this opaque tube he reveals that another tube is still resting on the stand. This tube is smaller & transparent containing three plastic balls resembling the color sequence of the outer opaque tube. Then the magician removes the balls from the transparent tube & covers it with the opaque tube.
He then drops the balls one after another into the nested tube according to the sequence printed on the outer tube (first the green ball, then the yellow ball, and finally the red ball). After a magical gesture, he lifts the opaque tube and it is seen that the red ball is at the bottom of the transparent tube instead of being at the top!        

    The magician repeats the same action once more but mysteriously the result is same. Finally, the magician drops the green ball followed by the yellow ball into the nested tube, but he places the red one inside a square box (beautifully colored in bright yellow & having two black doors). He makes another magical gesture, then opens up both the back and the front doors of the box. Presto! The red ball has completely vanished and the box is clearly empty! It's not over yet... He finally lifts the outer opaque tube. It is seen that the red ball has returned and joined the other two balls and has taken the bottom position as usual within the clear tube. The magician shows the opaque tube empty.  This is a time-honored CLASSIC of apparatus and kidshow magic.

          You receive a clear tube with metallic ends, which rests in a decorative base --  a colorful metal tube that covers the clear tube -- a wooden box with a large door on opposite sides -- and finally, the brightly-colored balls in three different color. The Red, Yellow and Green balls, which match the design on the cover of the tube, allow for different presentations (the most obvious being a stop light). Although there is only enough room in the tube for the three balls stacked vertically, the ball placed on top of the first two magically appears on the bottom or in the center of the stack of three.

         Manufactured by the now-defunct MAK Magic for many years as "Stratosphere" or "Strat-O-Spheres", this is the new version with updated updated graphics. You'll be proud to own and use this bright and colorful outfit!  Includes all of the apparatus pictured here, plus illustrated instructions. In addition, I'll include a photocopy of original "Strat-o-sphere" instructions, which also includes Mark Carter's special presentation for the effect.
