Effect: In this ultimate version of the legendary Gozinta Boxes, a red box fits inside a black box - but the black box also fits inside the red box. Sponge Balls materialise out of thin air and even change size and form. Is it a paradox? No, its Tenyo's new PARABOX

Personal Comments: Very enjoyable little effect, after showing that both the boxes fit inside one another you can produce two sponge balls then make one of the balls grow to around 5 times the size it was before. You can get a good 5 mins out of this effect if you work on your patter and the final transformation is superb. It all comes complete which I like as well. The boxes are in Tenyo trademark plastic but the sponge balls part of the routine lifts the whole effect.
Can be used very effectively for adults and kids shows, it amazes both.

Overall Judgement: If you like Tenyo and are wanting to take your sponge balls routine to the next level then try this.This is a must buy item!
