The performer shows a small elegant box which is then opened to reveal a pair
of dice, two metal cylinders and the Atomic Ball, or silver sphere.

The dice and cylinders are removed from the box
and then placed on the table for inspection.

The center block is now removed from the box containing the Atomic Ball,
and it is placed into the hand of an audience member.

The empty block is then placed back inside the box and the lid is closed.

One of the dice with the 1 spot showing is placed on the top of the
box and this is then covered with one of the metal cylinders.

The Atomic Ball is now gently placed on the top of the die and the
second metal cylinder is stacked on top forming a small tube.

The second die is now placed on top of the Atomic Ball and has the 5 spots showing
and protrudes from the top of the tube due to resting on the Atomic Ball.

Of course the combination of numbers, 1 and 5 do not make for a winning outcome and
the performer explains this, as he turns the top die so that the 6 is now showing,
creating a lucky 7 combination, and placing it back on top of the Atomic Ball.

Suddenly the top die sinks down into the tube and everything is now dismantled
clearly showing the dice and cylinders and the Atomic Ball has now gone.

With empty hands the performer unlocks the box and opens its lid to show that the
Atomic Ball has now returned safely to its secure place back within the box.

This is truly the definitive version of the Atomic Ball effect.

The effect comes complete with the highly polished aluminum cylinders designed to nest
perfectly together and form the tube while the box is made from exotic zebra wood.
