Have you ever tried this with a (hollow) steel ball?
I know the lucite ball is what is normally used in contact juggling, but I've never seen it done with a zombie type ball.


Thanks Dan.
I've tried with a standard zombie ball, but contact manipulation doesn't work well : you need to have weight and inertia...

I am performing at the Magic Castle April 7 to 13 and will present something original with a Zombie (and I don't mean Crow Garret whose big and so quiet it scares me sometime, he is also a close friend). I challenge Tom to do the same.

Rick
It's not a traditional Zombie method, it's black art. I am trying to set the mood before West enters in character. I wrote the poem about the Will O' the Wisp that West reads during the effect in a style similar to the work of James Whitcomb Riley, who wrote in-dialect. The ball is a Christmas ornament with a powerful blue led light inside, cheap and effective,
