Penetra-Spheres | Jack Hughes, Davenports

An extremely rare eight ball version of Penetra-Spheres or Hole in One.

Invented around 1937 by Jack Hughes, Penetra-Spheres followed his Coins in Glass effect. Licensed by Abbott’s, it debuted in the U.S. in 1947 as Hole in One, the name most commonly known today.

A spectator freely selects and marks a ball. The small glass is covered by the larger glass, sealing it completely. The remaining balls are arranged around the glasses. The magician covers the setup with a cloth, then immediately hands the tray to the spectator.

With a flourish, the magician pretends to extract the chosen ball invisibly, tossing it through the cloth and into the sealed glass. When the cloth is removed, the selected ball is inside! This baffling effect can be repeated instantly.

Includes gimmicked wood board, eight multi-colored wood balls, and small glass.
