Interesting concept but overall pretty lackluster.
So here is my issue with magic sometimes.
If you join the secret FB group and talk about where you can get additional music, replacement
Tabs, etc. The creator will ask you to contact them. But if you post about where you can get such
things, your comment and post get deleted.
The trick seems like it would play well. Sadly I
have not had the experience. The music doesn't click right away with people. Some of the songs don't
really sound like the songs. Which makes a lot of the song choices pointless.
The
difference between the standard and premium versions is idiotic. The difference is a box that goes
around the device. Fun fact. You can find nicer versions of the boxed version on amazon for less
than $20. You can buy a massive roll of replacement tabs for less than $10 on amazon and there is an
entire website where you can find almost any songs you want to play on the music box FOR FREE!.
Google is your friend. Don't fall for this turd of a trick. Thankfully I got it off the Open Box
for cheap.
That being said. I'm not 100% giving up on the trick. I've been working on
handling that actually works and allows you to punch out the song without folding the tab up.
All in all. Save your money.
Punching out the songs will destroy your hands, the routines
are terrible, and the music box is hard to use and is poorly made. Again they can be found on
amazon. Just look up the 15note music box. So much more can be done with this concept if you get
away from what is taught and take the idea of a music box p[rediction and then spend some actual
money on a better music box.
You get templates for songs but those templates are single
use. So if you want more you have to order them off their website. (avoid this trick. This is what a
trick would be if owned by EA games. You get a base set, but everything else will cost you, but
don't go talking to people about where they can get the stuff better, cheaper, or even free. Or
you'll be blocked from the FB group.

Sorry for complaining…
One needs to do the holes by himself in the papers (like 100 holes each,
with very accurate location otherwise the melody is wrong)…
So for 10 melody one could spend 2/3
hours making the trick
Once this is done, I al sorry but the melody quality is low, some are
very hard to recognize.
As for the magic effect, it is obvious to the spectator that the
paper is just flipped upside down…
I won’t be able to do any trick with this music box.

This is a great quality trick in both the gimmick and the tutorial. Lots of room for creativity
with the music. The video tutorial is thorough. The quality of the gimmick is well made and works
well. You could build a solid set or performance or this one trick and really make it theatrical.
It’s a little bit of an investment, but I do feel like you get lots of worth. I do recommend if
you’re looking for something different.

Great quality and many ways to use for different routines!Truly a one of a kind prop.
The Music Box is such an amazing effect and has been a crowd pleaser every time! The quality is
excellent. Every magician should have this in their routine.
Nice routine, nice Idee!
Many oportunities in the act where it is only limited by our
imagination.
For the premium, it is a small observation: why you do not give the music box with
30 tons at the place of 15 tons. The song should be better and more realistic than the 15 tons. The
difference with the price of the two models is not so expensive. I thing that the magician is ready
to payed more for a better product.
