The single greatest sponge ball worker in the world returns to teach not just his personal routines, not just never-before-seen sleights, but exactly how he fooled Penn & Teller with the humble sponge ball. 11 routines. 22 techniques. Theory. Psychology. Philosophy. Just when you thought you knew everything there was to know about sponge balls, Xulio turns your brain inside out with radical new material that elevates sponge balls yet again.

There is so much packed into this video, which clocks in at well over five hours, and all of it is taught in stunning detail. Here are just some of the highlights.

Porous Crystaline: The souls of three sponge balls are introduced, and then the spiritual is made physical as the sponges materialize in a glass. The sponges vanish and reappear in the glass, as if through trick photography. One by one, the sponges vanish as they are placed into the glass that the spectator is holding.

Phantom Balls: This multiphase routine is jam-packed with visual moments. It starts with a sponge ball pushing a selected card out of the deck. Then a ring and ball switch places. The ball is placed inside the ring, where it splits into two, and then one of them changes color for a visual transposition. The finale features the sponges appearing in the spectator's hand and instantly transforming into stars.

Tibetan Bowl: The routine that fooled Penn & Teller, as well as the world, and put Xulio Merino on the map. A Tibetan Singing Bowl aids in balls vanishing, transforming, multiplying, and so much more. Performed in the Penguin Magic Studio in front of a live audience, and then meticulously taught so that you can learn the timing, choreography, and every choice that led to the development of this masterful routine.

In addition to these routines, you’ll learn the Catapult sleight. When you watch the trailer for this video, you are seeing Xulio perform this unbelievable transfer over and over again, but it’s so deceptive that even our camera operators didn’t suspect what was happening until Xulio revealed it. This powerful move will allow you to get ahead of your audience, perform secret transfers, and defy the laws of nature with sponge balls.

The techniques shared in this video include never-before-seen displays, transfers, loads, color changes, vanishes, productions, and methods of holding out that have been adapted from the world of card cheats, coin magicians, manipulators, and then transformed and honed into deadly weapons for anyone daring enough to take their sponge ball magic to the next level.
