These are called "Blind Catches."
http://youtu.be/mZyMtRvjh8YRelated to magic: When we make a ball appear, we don't get that sense of 'there is nothing, now something.' Only the spectators get that feeling. We KNOW there is already a ball in the hand waiting to appear (or flower, or wine bottle, or whatever.)
During this trick, it felt truly magical because all I had to do was put my hand in the appropriate area, and a ball appeared. TRULY it was a magical sensation for me. (I'm a selfish magician/juggler.)
