MAK Magic Strat-O-Spheresis a classic tabletop illusion where three differently colored balls (red, yellow, and green) magically change places inside a clear tube and eventually vanish from a separate box to reappear in the tube. As of 2026, the original MAK Magic version is considered a highly desirable vintage item and is largely discontinued by major retailers, though it frequently appears in preowned and collectible markets.
Effect and Performance
The routine is widely praised by magicians for its audience participation and ease of performance.
The Routine: A red, yellow, and green ball are placed into a narrow clear tube. They instantly change order.
The Climax: The red ball is placed into a small “Joker” design box or cloth bag, where it vanishes and reappears back in the tube between the other two balls.
Educational Use: The traffic-light colors make it ideal for shows featuring safety messages for children.
Design and Specifications
The MAK Magic Strat-O-Spheres includes high-quality components:
Clear Tube: A tall plastic tube with metallic ends that rests on a wooden base.
Outer Tube: A highly decorated metal cover used to hide the balls during the transposition.
Vanish Box: A wooden box (Gung Ho Box) with swinging doors, often featuring a Joker design, used for the final vanish.
Balls: Three hollow plastic balls, each approximately 3 inches in diameter.
Purchasing Options (Preowned and Collectible)
Because this product is discontinued, availability is limited to specialized magic shops that sell rare & vintage magic tricks or preowned equipment.
Condition
In reviewing the pictures, which are essential to the overall description and what you’ll receive, you’ll find this prop in very usable and collectible condition. As with any rare and vintage aged prop, this one has some imperfections (surface impacts and paint) on the outer tube and Gung Ho box. Overall paint seems reasonable for its age and certainly performance use.
