MAK Magic Strat-O-Spheres is 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 for MAK Magic Strat-O-Spheres

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.

Details

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.

Condition Disclosure for Rare & Vintage Collectible Magic Apparatus

PHOTOS

Please review all listing photos carefully, as they are an important part of the item description. The photos are intended to show the overall visual condition of the apparatus, including possible imperfections, paint quality, decals if applicable, shelf wear, performance wear, and age-related characteristics.

LABELS

MagicTrickCollection.com does not rely on broad condition labels such as “good,” “very good,” “excellent,” or “mint” for vintage and antique magic effects. These terms can be subjective and may mean different things to different collectors. Instead, we believe clear photos from multiple angles provide the most accurate way to evaluate condition without revealing the working secrets of the effect.

OLD VERSUS NEW

Items listed under Rare & Vintage Collectible Magic may range from 10 to 100 years old or more. These are not new magic props. They may show signs of age, handling, storage, repairs, fragility, paint loss, decal wear, or prior performance use.

If your intent is to perform with the item, please understand that some vintage apparatus may require careful handling, adjustment, and practice. This disclosure is provided to help ensure buyers understand they are purchasing a vintage collectible magic item with age, history, and character—not a newly manufactured prop.
