Ball & Vase

There is nothing new about this conjuring feat, but it is one of the best and most effective, while it is quite simple when you know how. The performer shows a beautiful vase containing a ball, that he takes out of the vase, and places in his pocket, exhibiting the empty vase to the audience. He then places the cover on the vase and commands the ball to pass from his pocket and appear in the vase, and upon raising the cover the ball is found to be there. Again the cover is placed in the vase and the ball is directed to return to the performer's pocket, whereupon the vase on inspection is found to be empty.
