The Tiger Woods Magic Trick - 2
The Tiger Woods Magic Trick

Materials:
Six napkin balls
(Simply roll pieces of a napkin into tiny balls. You’ll have to experiment with the size of the napkins and the number that you can place into a spectator’s hand at the end without the size of the napkins giving away the trick.)

Miniature golf club (optional)
You can dress this trick up by waving a golf club over the spectator’s hand as you would a magic wand. While I don’t own such a prop, I imagine that are novelty pens and such that you can use for this.

This trick is far more effective if you own sponge balls (a magic dealer prop - click here to purchase direct). Also, you can cut small balls from foam packing material to make your own - the smaller that the foam compresses, the better and the more balls you can get into the hand of your spectator at the trick’s climax.

Skills Needed
The French Drop (I teach this move using a coin - experienced magicians, use your favorite vanish. )

Preparation:
Separate two napkin balls and place them into your pocket. Place the remaining napkin balls in a place where you can easily grab them. For example, if you’re seated at a table, you can rest the remaining napkin balls in your lap.
