I used to borrow an object, it would vanish then make the box infront of the spectator, then give the box a shake and low and behold something is rattling inside. Hand the box to the spectator who then pulls it apart and the borrowed object is inside. I would then put the box back together and leave it with the spectator.

Wow that's the same box I build, but I never thought about the object appearing angle, that's awesome. Thanks

This sounds a great idea to do with old cards. Where did you guys learn this skill from?

Back in the day some one of my customers showed me how to make the box. I ended up making quite a few just because, then I used some as little display stands around the magic shop. Then another magician told me about putting something in the box. I started out making a sponge ball appear in the box because making something appear in the box, for me was not all that easy. But with time and practice I was able to put other objects in the box without being caught.

I'll hunt around and see if I can find a video of the construction of the box. If I find it I'll post it here.

I like this idea the best and from now on will always have random cards hidden around my flat!

Okay here is a video of the card cube that I make, and no it is not me making this one.

Grrrrr, curse you; I've just gone through two packs of cards turning them into cubes. It's so much fun, and looks really cool.
