Zombie is a floating ball illusion in which a silver ball floats behind a Foulard.

Zombie was invented by Joe Karson. The inspiration came to him when he was fooling around with the simple impromptu trick where the magician interlocks the fingers of both hands and a lighted match appears to magically suspend in air behind it. He patented the Zombie in 1940.
