it's a loop on a ball so your hand can appear empty. there are a lot of great ideas. i think some of the best are when you use it WITH a regular billiard ball routine.
Jeff Mcbride has some great ideas on his "manipulation without tears" DVD. I was fooled bad by his ideas.

I'm going to increase my goal to $2000. I think with a little bit more word-of-mouth I can send them $2000. We've already surpassed the $1000 mark.
I will soon be sending Jim a bank wire for a small amount to make sure the process works properly. Once I hear back that they have received the funds I'll be prepared to send the rest once the sale is over. I'll try to send them a wire today and see how it goes.
From my calculations, to get to $2000, we have to sell approx. 10 more boxes.
Tell your friends!

We only have 4 more boxes and then the fundraiser will have to end.
Dave, I checked the wiring info that you gave me and it is a bit incomplete.
Still need their bank's physical address and their bank account number.
They did provide a larger number which includes the account number but Iwant to be sure before I send money.
Only 4 more boxes boys!!! Now's your chance.

Frank,
Have youthought about putting thme on eBay? I saythins because they are worth a lot more than the priceyou are asking sothey mightraise even more...
I am not sure but I think eBay has the facility to donate to charity so perhaps they have an arrangement with the fees etc?
Just a thought.
