Add some pizazz to your closeup sponge ball routine... Here is a set of six sponge stars, that you can do all your standard sponge routines with, but it will set them apart with a stellar flair!

Or change a ball into a star. At the end of the routine, the spectator ends up with a ball in their hand. "I see you are having a BALL!" You open your hand to show the star..."I guess that's why I am the STAR!" (okay, you don't have to use it!)

Another idea that springs to mind: finish by producing a handful of stars -- the balls have vanished!  "Oh your are seeing stars, I see!" (Okay, you don't have to use it, either!)

These great little sponge stars will trigger lots of ideas in the mind of the imaginative magician. They have a lot of charisma!   The stars tend to be a bit out of shape, but definitely look like stars and very different from a sponge ball.  (They will be shipped squashed, so best to soak them in water when you get them -- they will puff up and be good as new when they dry.)

Each star is about 2 inches from tip to tip -- the playing card (not included) is in the photo so you can see the scale of the stars.
