Multiplying Balls for the Street By Pop Haydn (Instant Download)

A Captivating Routine to Attract an Audience

Whit “Pop” Haydn created a unique method for performing the Multiplying Billiard Balls in the 1960s while busking in New York City. With the assistance of seasoned performer Presto, he refined his act to suit various challenging angles and settings.

His experiences are documented in the booklet “Street Magic.” This multiplying ball routine is versatile enough for cocktail parties, walk-around performances, and even stage settings. The trick relies solely on pocket management—no body loads or steals are required, making it ideal for trousers, jackets, and sports coats.

While the moves are straightforward, they do require practice. This routine serves as an excellent introduction for beginners, yet advanced practitioners will appreciate its solid framework for an almost impromptu performance. In this instructional video, Pop shares every aspect of his routine, including the psychology behind it and his engaging patter.

The routine can be performed silently or with music, but it particularly shines in walk-around and parlor environments. Pop also reveals strategies for captivating a crowd and adapting to changing situations. The presentation is dynamic and leaves a lasting impression, showcasing skill without appearing boastful.

Additionally, Pop teaches a method for discreetly storing the balls and shell, ensuring they appear natural and normal, while also positioning the magician to restart the routine seamlessly. As with all of Pop Haydn’s instructional videos, this one offers invaluable insights beyond the routine itself, making it a must-have.
