Visible See-Through Nest of
Boxes
by Professor Spellbinder
Effect: Three
nesting boxes are displayed from all angles, and it is obvious
that all three are empty, because their sides are made of clear
glass. You can begin with all three empty boxes displayed as
shown below on the left and then nest them, or to save time,
start with them all nested together... you decide which.
The magician borrows an object from a spectator-
a ring, a coin, a bill, a wristwatch, a wallet, a cell-phone or
anything else about that size.
The borrowed object is wrapped in a red silk
handkerchief. Suddenly the handkerchief and the borrowed object
vanish from the magician’s hand.
At the same time, a red (for example - actually
the color silk is your choice) handkerchief appears visibly
inside the innermost box of the glass-walled nesting boxes. The
boxes are opened one by one. When the smallest box is opened, the
red silk handkerchief is lifted from the box and is obviously
holding something inside it. That something happens to be the
original borrowed object, which is handed to the spectator for
confirmation of ownership. Visible vanish, visible reappearance
in see-through nesting boxes!
The glass walled nesting boxes will cost you
less than $15.00 from the source we provide (and that includes
shipping). Another $5.00 will take care of the gimmicks needed.
If you prefer, you can make the boxes yourself from scratch
following our plans. As a convenience, we
now sell the unfinished, unvarnished, ungimmicked boxes HERE.
We plan to also sell the boxes all varnished and gimmicked and
ready to perform... but that will take some time to get ready.
Included with the e-Book are instructions for
converting the boxes for a mental prediction routine. The
prediction paper can be seen inside the innermost box from the
moment it is brought out, or even before, if you want to put it
on display in a store window or display case in the lobby.
