The amount of sleight of hand necessary to execute this effect is minimal. However, the better your
sleight of hand, the more that you can do with it.
I gave it 5 stars, but I haven't
received my cap in the mail yet. My rating is based on the video instruction which is more than
adequate.
My question is: After seeing my bottle cap box how will an audience react to my
Ousterling boxes? I'll have to make up a line about doing more explosive magic...or something ;)

This is decent. It has a nice weight and can pass for a bottle cap... except IT IS NOT THREADED.
You may think people will not notice, and they don’t, but three times people have said, it
looks different.
I have another bottle cap trick called rattled, and those caps are
threaded.
The presenter went through pains to show the different versions. It would not
have been a big deal to include threads in the plastic mold.
Also there was another
review regarding providing an un-gimmicked cap. That would have been good as well.
It is
important to go the extra distance to ensure the best product quality and customer experience.

I will reach in the trash as if to retrieve a bottle cap. Or, I set it up with the bartender or
waitress so I can ask them for one. Then I ask my audience for some quarters. This makes everything
so innocent. The cap is never questioned and I typically put the quarters in my pocket after the
performance.lol I love the Okito box but don't always have it with me. This works so well when
performed off the cuff I think I'm going to order a few extra just to have in my glove box and my
undershorts. lol UsuallyAmazingKeith

I love this trick, I would have given it five stars but I really wish it had an ungimmicked cap you
could switch out.

I am glad I bought the P.O. Box as it is well made and has a good balance. I just wish it had a
non-gimmick option as well. Other than that I feel it is a really nice addition to the Okito box
world.

Huge fan of the okito box. This is a modern spin on a classic that presents as an everyday object. I
have been able to work this in almost anywhere and it has been unquestioned. Packs small plays
massive. This is a must buy product.
It looks like a bottle cap and cool little gadget. I just pretend i take the cap of my bottle of
water and then proceed to the Magic!
Nick diffatte was able to create a almost impromptu perfect trick.by using a bottle cap {as a boston
box} producing coins, effects like coins through the table or through the hand, vanishings, and a
wonderful routine with a clear glass and 4 coins{quarters}. you can use quarters or foreigner coins
the size of a quarter. If you already have a routine using quarters, you can extend that routine or
enhance that routine
by incorporating the p.o.box in to. the prop is just a bottle
cap{gimmick].That looks like a normal water bottle cap.
The video/explanation are good and
clear. buy it
The P.O. Box is a great idea to make it look like a water bottle top. Works great and uses quarters
so you can carry it in your pocket as an every day carry. Which I do. The only reason I gave it four
stars is that mine had a little yellowing color, which is OK. I just tell people this is the same
bottle cap I have been carrying for years.
Easy to do. The weight allows a great hands free turn over as shown. Innocent looking.
No,
there are no threads inside the cap - could have been a nice addition. No, there is no ungimmicked
cap.
So What?
It looks innocent enough, you use it, maybe pull it off an empty water bottle,
do the trick, accept the comments about how brilliant you are, and do another trick.
No need to
switch, no need for an examination. Do it, amaze the spectators, and move on.
Blackstone didn't
pass his floating light bulb around and an tell people to examine it, it's an ordinary light bulb!
