No matter what type of magician you are, you will benefit from something I discovered last week. It is a 'tool' that will help card magicians, coin magicians, sleight of hand artists, and really, anybody who performs with their hands.

A few weeks ago my father had a car accident. He was badly hurt, but survived. They say the strength in his hands and arms helped save him. He had been working out using something called a "Power Ball" and he swears by it. My mother also has some artheritis in her hands and she has also been using this exercise ball with amazing results. I decided to buy one and have started using it. I have to tell you, it is one of the most amazing tools for magicians and musicians (I am both) I have ever seen. If you want to build up super strength in your hands, wrists and arms, you must look at this instrument.

It's strange to describe, other than it's a ball with something like a gyroscope inside. You start it off by pulling a string and an invisible force makes it spin - however it works doesn't matter. The end result is a great exercise that will really help improve strength and agility in your hands.
