This fantastic routine has been taken from one of Wayne Dobson's publications.
Originally called ODD BALL, but due to another trick being called odd ball we changed the name to DETECTABALL to save confusion.


Three balls are placed into a black bag 1 red 2 white they are taken out by the spectator or spectators 1 at a time, that done you place a 50p bet on what you think is the odd ball (the red 1) and you are correct.

The balls are replaced into the bag and this time you say you will up your bet to £2.

The balls are removed as before and you place your bet. When the spectator exposes his ball it is white and the spectator thinks they have won the bet.

You ask for the other 2 balls to be exposed and to the amazement of the spectators they are both RED.


This trick is self working and is ideal for beginners and professionals.
