I bought this item last week for around £250 from
www.elmwoodmagic.com and because it is such a lot of money I thought I'd give you an opinion on it in case anyone was considering shelling out their money.
Firstly, it is a beautifully engineered prop made from some exotic aircraft-quality metal and then anodised. It is surprisingly heavy (around 11oz) but I don't think it would be an issue carrying it around whilst performing close-up.
The one thing to consider here is the effect itself. At the end of the day, it is a card box and most people are going to suspect the obvious so a good routine is essential if you're going to get the most out of it. What I would say though is that the "secret" is diabolical and does not use the standard method of other cheap card boxes. A spectator will
not be able to prove anything !
I do feel that the quality is such that it would provide a lifetime of use. It seems bulletproof !
