Magic bouncy balls are a fascinating and entertaining toy that captivate people of all ages. These small, rubbery balls have a unique ability to bounce to incredible heights and perform tricks that seem almost magical. Their unpredictable and energetic nature adds to their charm and allure. What makes magic bouncy balls so special is their ability to defy gravity. When thrown or dropped onto a hard surface, these balls can bounce back up with incredible force, reaching surprising heights. This bounce-back action is due to the ball's material, which is made from a highly elastic polymer, such as rubber.
This bounce-back action is due to the ball's material, which is made from a highly elastic polymer, such as rubber. The elasticity allows the ball to compress upon impact and then quickly regain its original shape, propelling it into the air. Another intriguing aspect of magic bouncy balls is their ability to change colors or emit light as they bounce.
Bodega Bay mourns captain’s death
With a sad and heavy heart, I share the passing of Captain Merlin Kolb of Bodega Bay at the young age of 52.
He had a dream and was determined to make it a reality. - To own a fishing vessel and to become a Captain on the high seas. Yes, he became Captain Merlin Kolb of Reel Magic Fishing Charters. Seeking the elusive salmon, shy yet aggressive Dungeness crabs or the ling cod that are big-mouthed, feisty, bottom-dwelling fish. I can hear him joking “here little fishy fishy.” Taking children out, teaching them the love of the ocean and how to catch a fish themselves was his mission. Always exhibiting that exuberance typically visible only in children. Captain Merlin performed magic on the high seas. A blue hoochie was his lure of choice but his “Crabby Dance” was infamous. No way could you watch it without busting up or busting a move!
Sitting with Merlin at the Bodega Bay Grange at 2 a.m., with our feet propped up on the mop bucket, after feeding, caring and housing evacuees from the 2017 Tubbs fire. Exhausted but knowing we need to stay awake to watch over traumatized evacuees who lost everything or just needed a safe place to go. He was first to lead the charge to get the Grange open.
Sharing the ocean bounty from the Reel Magic Sport Fishing Charters with all his friends by showing up with a bag of fresh cod, crabs or salmon! Of course, he was wearing his knee-high rubber boots, baggy shorts and his Reel Magic logo shirt displaying the remnants, and ocean perfume of fishing and working hard all day. His ability to find fish for his charter clients demonstrated the expertise and “luck” he brought to his passion of fishing. Few could find the elusive fish like Captain Merlin Kolb could. His locations were a mystery if you listened to him on the radio, you knew his smile from keeping the secret was on the other end.
Cleaning and filleting 30 salmon in 30 minutes for our local nonprofit, Waves of Compassion Foundation, was one of his generous community gifts he bestowed upon us. He knew the less fortunate may not be able to enjoy this delicious, expensive, and healthy fish so he volunteered to prepare them to be given away at our food pantry.
A boat circling in the ocean in front of my home ten times to honor my 94-year-old Dad as he departed earth. A request to pick up some special antique plates to honor his wife, Michelle’s, birthday. A text on a Wednesday to organize a retirement party that coming Saturday for his love. A call asking if I can give Michelle a ride to San Francisco for tests or surgery for Michelle’s breast cancer which later turned to brain cancer. A battle Merlin was well suited to fight on her behalf, gathering the best Doctors and care at UCSF, saving her life and his love, Michelle. The battle is ongoing but never did he waiver in the belief God would protect her.
His boat was taking on water, the Miss Anita, while Captain Merlin was at the helm. His first instinct was to save his passengers and crew. He carefully brought the boat to Salmon Creek where he was able to beach it saving everyone. He was a hero. Praising his quick thinking, the Coast Guard presented Merlin with a Certificate of Merit. “Your courageous actions, diligent focus, and heroic efforts likely saved the lives of the people on board and exemplified your commitment to the safety of life at sea,” the proclamation read.
A vehicle accident took our Merlin away on Sept. 11, a day already marked by great sadness. His booming voice, kind heart and large personality will remain forever in our hearts. Rest in peace, Captain Merlin. It’s been Reel Magic. We got Michelle your “Mrs. Beautiful.”

Reviews for "The Use of Magic Bouncy Balls in Physical Therapy"
1. Emily - 1/5
I was really disappointed with the magic bouncy balls. The advertisement showed them bouncing incredibly high and with vibrant colors, but mine barely bounced at all and were mostly dull in color. I followed the instructions carefully, but they still didn't live up to the hype. I would not recommend these to anyone looking for truly magical bouncy balls.
2. Mike - 2/5
The magic bouncy balls were a letdown for me. While they did bounce decently high, they lost their magic after only a few bounces. The colors also faded quickly, even though I stored them in a cool, dry place as instructed. I think there are better options available in the market for bouncy balls.
3. Sarah - 2/5
I purchased the magic bouncy balls for my kids, hoping for some fun and excitement. Unfortunately, they were not impressed. The balls didn't bounce as high as expected, and the colors were not as vibrant as shown in the ad. My kids quickly lost interest and went back to their regular bouncy balls. Overall, a disappointing purchase.
4. John - 1/5
Magic bouncy balls? More like disappointing bouncy balls. I was expecting something truly magical, but these fell short. The bounce was average at best, and the supposed magic effect was barely noticeable. The packaging was flashy and enticing, but the actual product was a major letdown. Save your money and look elsewhere for a truly magical bouncy ball experience.
