I have been wanting to purchase a mirror box for a whole. I felt like it would work good in my childrens shows. I was iffy about this mirror box due to the price of it because of how small it was. As every childrens magician knows, ickle pickle has excellent quality all around. I believe that the way that you can show this box empty is unlike any other mirror box and it plays big! This box has a big load. It can easy hold a 15ft streamer, 36" silk, multiple smaller silks, a little toy gun, and 8 sponge balls. I would give it 4.5 stars just because it is a little pricey, but with any ickle pickle products you are paying for the quality.
