THE BLURB:
Finally, the ULTIMATE Billet Box is here! Imagine you can
show the interior of the box completely EMPTY before
starting. Here is just one of many routines you can do:
The Magician /Mentalist show a wooden box which has a base
and lid. Open the lid and show both base and lid are EMPTY.
Put the lid back and give it to a spectator to hold.
Then several slips of paper are handed out to some
spectators and each is asked to write any number they wish
and fold it up.
Ask the spectator who hold the box to collect the folded
papers and put them inside the box thru the slit on the lid.
The Spectator brings back the box on stage The
magician/mentalist open the box and ask the spectator to
choose any slip from many inside at random.
There is a prediction envelope which prior to show already
given to another spectator. Amazingly when the slip is
unfolded the number exactly MATCH with the prediction inside
the envelope.
This is really your ULTIMATE Billet box, made from beautiful
wood. It's dimension 12.5 x 12.5 x 15 cm. You can do many
other mental effects with this ingenious box , you can use
playing card, currency...the possibilities are only limited
by your imagination.
MY COMMENTS:
This is a very elegant, wooden billet box. What's nice
about this is that can be shown completely empty and
ordinary before the billets are collected, yet the performer
is in complete control over what will be taken from the box
after the lid is removed.
Another feature is that the gimmick is completely under your
control. By that, I mean that the lid can be lifted off and
the box can be shown empty, or to be ordinary, as many times
as one likes, until the performer does what's necessary to
use the main feature of the box.
This does not work like Larry Becker's Chameleon Chest. It
does not have to be handled by the performer while the
billets are inserted. In fact, someone else can collect the
billets and then the billets can be shown. The lid is
replaced and the box's secret can be put into play. The
performer does, however, have to lift off the lid and,
unlike Becker's version, the box cannot be examined
afterwards, which the Chameleon Chest can.
There are no moving parts or electronics. Everything is
self-contained. And, like most billet boxes, controlling
billets is but one possibility. The box is 5" x 5" x 6"
with 4 pages (double-sided, stapled) of instructions.
I already have Max Krause's wonderful Mentalist's Dream Box,
a completely hands-off and examinable billet box. But I
know the now four-figure price for that may put it out of
the price range for most. If you can't afford that, or
Larry Becker's Chameleon Chest (from Viking), this is a very
nice alternative that will serve you well.
