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.
