wow..have you got any more of Eric & Ernie?

[CannedCarrott]

yes, i've got 5 or so dvds of Eric & Ernie. I'd rather put up something that isn't already on youtube though. (Although I have found that a few of my clips had already been uploaded)

[topliff12345]

i don't want to know how its done !

As far as i'm concerned its an invisible ball and thats that !!

[speedoy2k]

only eric morcombe could make a prop, not even worth a penny, such a classic gag. GENIUS

[DeleteWhoIAm]

Now I know the trick, I can't look at it in the same way anymore ...

[MidgetBuddie]

LMAO! My cats laying on the bed next to me watching this! :)

[MidgetBuddie]

@ThePaudybyrne well, i dont know if its the 'correct' way, but i hold the bag with my writing hand, and put my index and fourth finger inside the bag whilst the middle finger is behind the bag so i can then use my middle finger and thumb to flick the bag whilst holding it in the same hand so it makes the noise..... If that makes any sense :L

[ThePaudybyrne]
