Handcrafted Miracles proudly presents:
The Eco-Box
Created by Mark Southworth and Dannicus

As a young man I had the good fortune to meet the legendary Dia Vernon and will never forget a pearl of wisdom he shared with me. "Good magic is like well written comedy" he said, "the audience shouldn't suspect the punchline until you reveal it at the end". The opaque black Eco-Box is identical in appearance to a small department store jewelry box and puts the punchline at the end of the routine leaving the spectators to wonder how the card teleported into the box, instead of watching for a clever switch. I believe both types of effects have situational merits, but when performing for laymen I prefer to not let them get ahead by knowing the contents of the box. There is much satisfaction in seeing the "magic moment" reflected in their faces when the box is opened and the punchline dawns on them. The Eco-Box is designed as the ultimate tool for working close-up or strolling magicians and mentalists. Here are some key features that really set it apart:

Size- incredibly small measuring just 2 x 1.5 x 5/8 inches it takes little more pocket room than a box of matches and when opened the folded card or billet appears to fill the entire box.

Perfect Illusion- you will swear the card or billet tumbles from the box even when you know the secret.

Examinable- may be rubber banded and given to a spectator to hold before the routine, and instantly examined after. (I strongly recommend just leaving it open on the table, where it will most likely never be given a second thought. To laymen it's just a box)

Practical- resets in less than two seconds either between tables or when putting the lid on the box. Full reset instructions for real world situations are included in the instructional video.

Versatile- can quickly be changed between a pre-prepared playing card, billet, bill, lottery ticket, newspaper or magazine clipping, receipt, gum wrapper, the possibilities are endless. The folded items are real 3D objects not just flat corners or pieces.

Quality- each Eco-Box is manufactured and tested in the Handcrafted Miracles workshop and never outsourced, allowing us to ensure quality and consistent performance.

Affordable- we are committed to maintaining affordability for our working peers while raising the bar in quality and performance standards. The Eco-Box demonstrates that commitment.

The included video download is loaded with expert instruction, performance psychology, tips and tricks, live footage, and magic and mentalism routine ideas that will undoubtedly make the Eco-Box a utility workhorse you will really use.

Order yours today and blow some minds without blowing your entire paycheck.

Warm Regards,

The gimmick I received doesn't work. Sometimes it works, other times it does not. There is no way I can use this at a paid gig. Unreliable.

Also the folded card that comes with the box was so poorly constructed that the ink is scratched.

Video directions were fine. The concept is great but the gimmick I received is unusable. Since these are handmade, some may be better than others.

The gimmick does not work at all. It doesn't stay open, and it won't close, either. The hinge is apparently too thick and springy to allow it to work as it should. Very disappointing. Given the fact that others are apparently having the same problems, I would say don't waste your money on this.

Doesn't Work, looks awful Report this review

I bought this on open box and I can definitely see why it was returned. The only reason I am not returning it is that I don't want to risk someone else buying it.

First off the gimmick does not work...at all. Maybe with a utility knife I could make some adjustments but even then my hopes are low due to the poorly made gimmick's quality. I would never attempt this in front of anyone with the gimmick operating the way it does out of the box.

Second, the card in the gimmick is to small and poorly made to pass for a card folded into fourths. I'm not sure it's even a full corner of bridge sized card.

In short, if I could give this product 0 stars I would. Great Idea, terrible execution.

With my unit The "flip" open reveal required was hit or miss.

I see the review above had a sticking problem also.

A dot on the box would also help one know if the right orientation is in place.

First off, other reviews say the card looks fake, which it does not. They also say that the gimmick gets stuck. I agree with that, but it can easily be fixed. I'm not a huge fan of this trick, but I feel that it shouldn't just get a bunch of 1 star reviews.

I like card to impossible as the next magician and own 3sixty and Mint but this one by far has more advantages. Sure, the box is not clear but the spectator can hold on to the box with a rubber band on the lid or have the lid open during performance. The method is super devious and the gimmick is fun to play with. The switch is so clean and fair with the added bonus that the box can be inspected.

Ignore the bad reviews. They are just lazy. Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 28th, 2016
I purchased mine on another site, but I saw these garbage reviews and had to chime in.
If your unit "sticks" it's VERY easy to fix. Just take the little tool they send with the unit and work the gimmick back and forth a few times. It will work fine. I use mine all the time and it was pretty sticky at first, too.

The only excuse for complaining about it sticking is laziness.
