THE MATERIALS

The balls must be made from very soft, natural sponge; the artificial rubber sponges are unsuitable, not being sufficiently compressible. Different sizes of balls, from three-fourths of an inch to two inches in diameter are used, according to the requirements of the several routines. Four balls of the twoinch variety and three of the three-quarter-inch size will be found sufficient for most purposes. The best way to make them is to cut a good-quality soft sponge into squares of about the sizes required, then clip off the corners and the angles with sharp scissors to make them spherical. There is no need to have them perfectly round, but all the balls of each set should be about the same size. Sponge balls can also be obtained at the magic stores.
