The magician draws attention to an opaque tube resting on a black base.

Three balls (red, yellow, and green from the top) are printed on the front of the tube. After lifting this opaque tube, he reveals that there is another tube resting on the stand. This tube is smaller and transparent and contains three plastic balls that match the color sequence of the outer opaque tube. The magician then removes the balls from the transparent tube and covers it with the opaque tube.

He then drops the balls one by one into the nested tube in the order printed on the outer tube (first the green ball, then the yellow ball, and finally the red ball). After a magical gesture as he lifts the opaque tube, it turns out that the red ball is at the bottom of the transparent tube instead of at the top.

He then repeats the same action once more, but mysteriously, the result is the same. Finally, the magician drops the green ball, followed by the yellow ball, into the nested tube, but he places the red one in a square box (beautifully colored in bright yellow and featuring two black doors). Then he suddenly opens both the back and front doors of the box. Presto, the red ball has completely vanished and the box is clearly empty. It’s not over yet; he finally lifts the outer opaque tube. It can be seen that the red ball has returned and joined the other two balls, taking its usual position at the bottom of the transparent tube. The magician shows that the opaque tube is empty.
