ABSTRACT:
An air activated amusement device having a hollow body member including a cylindrical side wall, and a front wall and a rear wall at opposite sides thereof, with an elongated tubular member connected to the rear wall, and a ball disposed against the front wall. The user blows into the tubular member so that air is transferred from the tubular member through the body member to an outer surface of the ball, where the air causes the ball to rotate against the front wall without falling away when the front wall is in a vertical position. Preferably, the front wall has a concave wall portion matching the outer surface of the ball so that a portion of the ball is received in the concave wall portion to allow the ball to be freely rotatable against an outer surface of the concave wall portion. Openings are provided in the front wall to permit air to enter the body member, with a hole being provided in the side wall of the body member to permit air to exit from the body member, and a further hole is provided in the rear wall to permit additional air to enter the body member, where the hole in the side wall is larger than the hole in the rear wall.
