Postby Chris » Jul 1st, '10, 13:56

If you can't find a metal one and are stuck Chris, I have a black plastic one you are welcome to. It's from a kids set, but works pretty well.

EDIT It's not a locking one, but with a bit of ingenuity, you could potentially drill a hole and use a small padlock on it. I think Max Maven did this with duct tape on one of his DVD's.

I have a plastic one bought from Mike Danata. You can have a card returned to the top of the deck" in the box and make the single selection appear before showing that the deck has disappeared. Goes down well table hopping

Yes this is the one i have....what Ive done is...you take a couple of cards out the top of the box to show its "Real" and then you push it in to the holder....but the reveal is this....you have teh omni deck under the gaff so the deck not only vanishes but it goes see through....this also means you can hand them the box and when they hold it, it feels like theres a box of cards still there as its solid....hence I want a locking one so if they take the omni back out they cant then pull the gaff box out also.

Ahh, right I'm with you. That's a pretty good use of one of those boxes! Does yours have the little grips (like a purse clip) on the side for opening it? I can't remember whether they overlap enough to drill for a padlock. I'm not at home, so can't remember.

I wouldn't know where to look for a metal one or that they even make them. If you find one, will you let me know Chris? I'd be quite interested in buying one.
