The Cone and Balls is a forgotten treasure of magic. I saw Aldo Columbini do this trick at a magic convention and it amazed the crowd. A old film of Dai Vernon performing the cone and balls is on youtube if you are curious. This is really a pretty routine to do on stage. If you are looking for something from the past that few do today, this is it!

The basic move is fairly easy. You do need a pocket in a suit coat or pants to accommodate a ball or two during the routine. It has several phases and I think you could combine some simple ball manipulation to add even more phases. High recommended.
