I remember when I watched the show I was very excited! Then they ruined the lovely acrylic sphere by putting globe designs all over it! D;

I agree with Nagini.

I have a crystal ball with a pentagram inside. it was awesome for all of five minutes, then the novelty wore off.

I prefer illusion over gimmick.

i think that suspending something inside a ball make the effect of a floating bubble disappear...

even when there's a little scratch on it that effect disappear,

but i've never tried to CJ with a ball that has something inside, so that's just my opinion

It was cool. I have been trying for some time now to find someone that would be able to suspend a rose into a 4 in acrylic sphere. But each try so far the rose was not able to hold up to the heat and pressure. (thats what they said)

And now I know why.

A few months back, I sent in the idea for them to cover it. I wonder if that was why they did it? Nah... probably not.

And I didn't even get to see the episode.

I had ripped that acrylic section onto my PC. its 50meg iirc, I would upload it again, but am on dial up, I did upload it before so perhaps someone else still has it and would re-up it if there is enough interest.

i don't think it showed extrusion though. iirc that is how the rods EL uses to cut balls are made

And that show "how it's made" came on! They showed the acrylic ballmaking process, which I thought was rather cool.
