Sponge by Jay Noblezada - DVD
Penguin Magic
Small props. Big reactions.
Sponge balls may look simple—but in the right hands, they create some of the most joyful, interactive magic you can perform. They jump, multiply, vanish, and reappear in your spectator’s hands, which is exactly why working pros rely on them when it really counts.
This DVD course is about more than tricks. It’s about learning how to entertain.
Jay Noblezada takes you step by step from first contact with sponge balls all the way to polished, professional walk-around routines. You’ll start with the fundamentals, build clean technique, and then learn how to turn those moves into moments that feel spontaneous, playful, and unforgettable.
Along the way, you’ll sharpen far more than sponge ball skills. You’ll improve misdirection, timing, audience management, and confidence—tools that carry over into every other part of your magic.
You’ll learn:
- Essential palms and concealments that feel natural and invisible
- Multiple vanishes and productions, from simple to deceptive
- Loads, splits, and transfers that make the magic happen where it matters most
- Complete routines you can perform immediately in real-world settings
And as a special bonus, you’ll step inside Gary Darwin’s legendary museum, where Darwin himself teaches over a dozen additional techniques, insights, and routines. It’s rare access to a true master—and it shows.
Sponge balls are classics for a reason. They’re visual, interactive, and endlessly fun. With the right guidance, they become five minutes of pure magic that audiences remember long after the show is over.
If you’ve ever thought, “I should really learn sponge balls,” this is the place to start—and the place you’ll keep coming back to.
