I loved that one, but the folding Kennedy 50-cent piece I got as a kid remains my all-time favourite magic gimmick. I could fiddle around with either gadget for an hour at a time, my imagination racing.

Eight dollars? Pfft! You can get it in the UK for four quid (not through Amazon.). Why feed Jeff Bezos? He doesn’t need it. Unless of course, you’re getting advertising revenue, and feeding yourselves.

I had one almost identical as a child - I think only the color of the ball differed.
It didn’t get much actual use, as I never once performed the trick for anyone.

I don’t know how much a quid is, could google it, but I have seen these same Ball & vase kits for 1 US dollar here in the states.

A quid is one pound sterling. (I shoulda said so.) You’re welcome. There were cheaper versions in the UK too, and a more expensive one that was entirely wooden. We DO want to cut down on plastic, don’t we?
