I would like to point out that Mr. Dacri's name is misspelled in Penguins listing. His last name is
DACRI, not DARCI.
I was a friend and colleague of Steve back in the 1980's. I worked for and
with Steve and performed his Sponge Ball routine as a means of demonstration (long before the days
of downloads and dvd's), in an effort to sell his routine in his Magic Shop. Mr. Dacri learned
much of his sponge ball magic from Kozak, who also had his routine in book form for sale. I
demonstrated his routine many many times in Dacri's store as well. So, I'm giving Kozak his props
for much of, but certainly not all of Steve's routine. After perchasing Kozak's routine, I adapted
his routine to fit my style and preference and I must say, that performance is something that I
became somewhat known for locally. Dacri was a master at close up magic and sponge ball magic and he
was also quite the comedian. I recommend this routine highly if you are new to sponge balls
particularly. You will learn how to perform a masterful routine. And if you can somehow obtain a
copy of Kozak's routine (which soli for $2.00 and the time, lol), I would recommend it highly as
well.
