Imaginary Ball
Matthew Mello
In absolute silence, the performer drops an imaginary ball, and the spectator catches it perfectly with their eyes closed!
If you are a fan of 'Lift' by Derren Brown, then you're going to love the eerie yet beautiful visual that 'The Imaginary Ball' creates!
No Invisible Threads
No Stooges or Instant Stooges

The technique used can be applied to Banachek's 'Psychokinetic Touches' routine. You can use it to have a spectator feel the moment a thought is thrown into their mind. It can also be adapted for a variety of extremely clean, open predictions of cards, coins, colors, etc.
Intended primarily for stage, but can be used in certain close-up venues.

This quick trick is an excellent introduction to Matt Mello. His stuff is always clever, well-thought-out and well-presented. Well worth the $5 price tag.
Santa Fe,NM • Dec 18, 2020Wow! Love the effect. Small but plays big. Simple method and easy to perform. Good instructions and I would have paid more for this effect. THANK YOU.
Newport, Wales • May 19, 2016The product is really great. You can have great reactions and if you want you can scare people too. The explanation is very good; you can see photos of the gimmick it takes 0.1 seconds to "build it") and also they teach you how to control your audience. Really great product. I'm very happy. :)
Barcelona • Sep 1, 2015This is too good! The effect is just as good as the method! Trust me!
Canada • Jan 16, 2015This is such an awesome trick that spectators love! The method is so clever, and not hard at all. Simply genius!
France • Jan 1, 2015The idea is very simple but plays BIG. I would have never in my life guessed how this was done simply because of how simple it is and how clean it can be. Some people may be skeptic because of the video edits in the demo, but I promise you nothing sneaky and sketchy was done, and what you see in the demo is what you get. For those of you familiar with 'Lift' by Derren Brown, the method is completely different -- like in the demo, you can be standing. For $5.00, this can easily be added into your stage shows and snowball into a PK touch routine. This is meant to be a stage effect, but you need at least 2 other people (not including yourself) if you want to be doing this close-up.
Florida • Nov 26, 2014Very clever and lends itself to a nice piece of "theater". More than a trick, it messes with the mind!
Durham, NC • Oct 31, 2014This is great trick (or perhaps I should say technique, cause you can do a lot of things with it), very simple method, but devilishly ingenious. For $5 you shouldn't even wonder, you must buy it.
Poland • Oct 8, 2014I bought this as an Ebook a while back and it's a really great trick, worth the $5. A simple and genius method.
West Virginia • Sep 19, 2014An amazing trick to perform on stage. Just a simple idea - but extreme reactions. Hats off, Mr. Mello.
Saudi Arabia • Sep 11, 2014Super simple idea, amazing reactions.
Italy • Sep 10, 2014A very simple idea, but great reactions. Buy it!
East Coast • Sep 7, 2014Used it a couple of times and worked out great! Thank you, Mr. Mello.
Montreal, Qc • Sep 7, 2014I have been a Matt Mello fan ever since I started magic. Pretty much everything he touches is awesome, and this is no exception. This really looks as clean as it does on the demo and i have shown my friends this and it is the freakiest thing pretty much ever. For less than 5 bucks this is a steal and it is amazing.
