Steel Ball Routine by Lou Serrano

The magician introduces a small, red box and reveals three one-inch, chromed steel ball bearings. The box is set aside for the performance.

One by one, each ball bearing is not merely vanished but rendered invisible. When the three invisible balls touch, a dazzling flash occurs, transporting everyone back to the moment when the balls were visible inside the box. The lid is lifted from the box, which has remained in plain sight, and the three steel balls are revealed once more!
