Four individual sponges turn into a sponge shaped like the number 4!
Startling ending to this one! Place a sponge hexagon in a spectator's hand. Touch the hand and magically, the spectator opens his hand to find that one sponge has become two sponges! Place two sponges in his hand, and they become three sponges! Finally, place the three sponges in the spectator's hand. Ask, "Do you think the three sponges have become four?" When the spectator opens his hand, the three sponges have turned into a sponge in the shape of a big "4"! The three sponges have literally become "4"!
The name of this trick is a reference to Agatha Christie's most famous mystery novel, And Then There Were None

Of course, your spectators will say "Oh, we know you have a big 4 in your hand". You say "You caught me red-handed!" and produce the Red Handed sponge hand instead. A nice surprise ending to your routine!
