This is easily the best card from box available, it it does come with flaws. My box does not have
good corners, the edges overlap which seems kinda sloppy and the fact that the reset requires
fiddling which is the tradeoff I suppose for being examinable. I'm glad I waited and never bought
any of the others

I picked one of these up at Magic Live and love it. I watched him Joao demonstrate it and didn't
have a clue he'd actually done anything. It just looked like he'd pulled the folded up card out of
the box and unfolded it...it's that clean. Your angles are fairly good (nothing past 3 and 9). The
reset takes a few seconds and can't be done discreetly, but it's a minor flaw. Once you build the
gimmick you are ready to go.
I do wish it came with a way you could swap out the card backs
without having to redo the work. Just the addition of an extra part would have allowed you to
instantly swap this out for a different colored back, money, billet, etc. As it stands, you are
committed to one item per performance.
This is, to me, the most beautiful
card-to-impossible-location out there. Unlike the Clarity Box and others, this can be examined by
the spectators after you pull the card out, so that eliminates the "Why won't they let me look at
the box?" problem. A little pricey, but it will amaze your audience if you can get the moves down.

It's a great product, no doubt about it.
With that being said, it's a little misleading,
in that I thought I could use it to change cards, bills, etc., as per the images on the site. It
turns out that you can only do it for one item, i.e. a red-backed card. If you wanted to use a
different color-backed card, or a different deck, you would need to purchase refills, which, while
they are only 18 bucks, come to $30+ bucks after shipping to the US.
For $75, I would
expect to not have to buy refills right away.

For years I have had great success with a "signed card to impossible location" trick using the
classic wooden box. It's such a strong effect, and so well-received, that I've always used it as my
closer. But now, to be able to perform the same effect with a CLEAR box, with the card visible
during the entire effect, and to let spectators EXAMINE the box afterward... it's like performing
real magic. This is a wonderful tool, and I'm ordering a second one to use for confabulation
effects.

I really love this trick. This trick is simple to follow and easy to do. Worth every penny. I will
use it all the time.

Is expensive and shin lim idea is so unnatural.

I’ve owned most of these type boxes and I put this one at top of my list. I love how you pull it
out and the magic happens. It looks natural and now matter how hard you try you can’t see it
happen. I’m very happy with this.
