Illusion Card Box (Appearing Card In Box) by Magic Makers

The ultimate card illusion of making a signed card magically appear inside a closed box is now possible! Included is the specially designed wooden box by Magic Makers and easy to follow step-by-step instructions.

The box measures 2.38 x 1.94 x 1.50 inches (6 x 4.9 x 3.8 cm).

HISTORY
Experienced magicians associate this trick to the late great Fred Kapps, who used a ring box into which a folded duplicate card was glued. This was one of the highlights of his lecture! Fred Kapps made it clear that the method used had been shown to him by a German magician named Bruno Hennig. Mr. Kapps had shown it to his good friend Scotty York who had modified the prop to allow a rattle of the card in a box before revealing it.

It was Scotty York who later developed some of the best handlings and presentations of his prop. Later variations were put out by Jamy Ian Swiss, John Kennedy, Italian magician Bruno Canaldi, and in 1985 an 8-page section by Tommy Wonder in his excellent Books of Wonder, Volume 1 as the Card in the Ring Box.

Many artists have made a series of these boxes...some for cards, some for money, some for billets. Models have appeared from England, France, Germany, and various manufacturers here in the States.
