A few of the great performers have, from time to time, given the magic community a wonderful gift by
collecting the knowledge and wisdom of past legends and publishing their contributions under one
theme/genre for the benefit of serious students worldwide. Such is Daryl's Master Course Sponge
Balls Set.
Levent, and Pete Biro have given us the equivalent in Linking Rings. Levent's
Miser's Dream, and Multiplying Balls are another example, and Jeb Sherrill on Zombie. Rice, on silk
magic also comes to mind. Many others, too numerous to mention, have contributed as well. I love
it when someone takes the time to amass and compile the wealth of information regarding one aspect
of our craft that saves time, money, and effort for those who want to fully immerse themselves in
learning that one particular effect.
Daryl has borrowed from, and credited, many sources to
provide us with plenty of information to design our own routines with Sponge Balls (not to mention
many other effects under their own headings). Nearly everything one would want to know about sponge
balls is contained in these four volumes for quick and easy reference. Daryl was/is a real
"teacher" and keeps the student relaxed and attentive while delivering a wealth of information on
each subject. You can't go wrong here! The production values are superb, and each volume is
professionally produced and a delight to watch and listen to. The price is practically a give-away
for all that you can glean from this series. If you're interested in learning Sponge Balls, I'd
highly recommend starting here. . .most other sources will become unnecessary.
