What it is
An edgy take on the standard sponge-ball routine, built for a specific job: trade show magicians working cannabis fairs. It was designed with the working professional in mind rather than the hobbyist, which is why the theme carries the routine instead of sitting on top of it as a novelty.
That intent turns up unprompted in the reviews. One is from a trade show performer; others arrive at the same place from the other direction — “niche themed magic to connect with specific audiences”, and simply, “sponge balls for adults!” A themed prop answers the question a generic one cannot: why does this performer have these objects at all?
The teaching material was treated as part of the product rather than an afterthought, which is the thread running through every Vulpine release.

Out in the world
One reviewer saw Adam demonstrate the effect in person at Magifest 2021 in Ohio, bought it, and took it to a smoke shop. The response he reported back: “if we hire you we’d never grow again!”
