Hi Dave! I'm the Crystal Ball Rabbit from Origins last year.
The ball's actuall acrylic, not crystal, so there's no worry of it
shattering or chipping when you drop it (unless you're dropping it from
several hundred feet onto concrete, I suppose). You can get them from
juggling supply stores: mine came from Brian Dube's online store at
http://www.dube.com/ (check at http://www.dube.comballs/3.html for their
acrylic balls). Mine is a 3" clear ball; for your son you'll probably want
a 2.5".
Incidentally, James Ernest, another noted game designer, literally wrote
the book on the type of juggling I was doing. His book's called _Contact
Juggling_; Dube lists it as being out of print, but you can probably
scrounge up a copy somewhere.
Hope this helps, and I'll see y'all next year!

Hi Dave!
Sorry, I don't remember a Rabbit with a Crystal Ball, nor do I know where
you might find one. But hey, let's ask the rest of the Rabbits!
Hey Rabbits! Is the Origins Crystal Ball Rabbit on this list? Does anyone
know who it might have been? Does anyone have a good source for cool glass
orbs?

Last year at Origins we saw one of your Lab Rabbits playing a large glass
ball that he could roll around in his hands. So, now, 22 days before
Christmas my son says, "hey, I know what I'd like..."
Can you please tell me where I can get a ball like that? Is this
something your online store sells? (I'm afraid to seach the internet for
balls...)
Thanks for any help and Merry Christmas to you and yours.
