I recently got this on advice from penguin as a substitute for a trick box that is out of stock. I
was surprised that it was so cheap and yet would do what I wanted. I wish I’d done more research on
it before purchase (I hadn’t seen this one before). This trick is super obvious from many angles.
This is OK if the box is out of view before the load, but that kinda defeats the purpose. However,
it is cheap and relatively well built. If this is all you can afford, by all means get it. You
will need to come up with a good routine around it to avoid tipping the audience to the general
method. If you’re experienced but poor, this would be a great little box. If you’re a pro, I’d
give it a miss as there are better boxes out there that do more with less obvious methods. If
you’re creative, get a book or DVD on building these kind of boxes for yourself. This is really a
beginner-priced trick that needs at least intermediate level patter and audience management.
