Floating Ball

Effect: A small ball defies gravity and floats in space

Secret: The secret is a long loop of dark thread which is on your table with a ping-pong ball resting on it. Put your thumbs through each end of the loop. Lift your hands with the thread stretched between them and the ball appears to be floating in the air. With practice you can make the ball float from hand to hand (it is really just rolling along the thread). You must wear dark clothing for this trick and be a little distance from your audience so the thread cannot be seen.
