I am looking at these two effects: sucker die box and Stratosphere(sometimes known as Joker Tube). The vanishing box looks similar in each effect. Is it the same? Are these 2 effects too similar to perform in the same presentation. Info or suggestions anyone?

No they are not the same, I have used both together and separately for a long time, probably about 30 years. The Die Box is a sucker trick, a vanish, and reproduction. Stratosphere is a transposition, vanish, and reproduction. But the methods are not the same.
The great trouble with magicians is the fact that they believe when they have bought a certain trick or piece of apparatus, and know the method or procedure, that they are full-fledged mystifiers. -- Harry Houdini

I have both, and have never given a second thought about performing both in the same show. They are both great tricks.
Dice Box is one of my all time favorite pieces of magic. I have one that I really like, but one day if I have extra money, I would love to start a collection. To me, Stratosphere is unique enough it won't compete or clash with any other tricks in your show. (exception of course being ABC Blocks ) Dice Box is a great trick... but you may not want to use it if you already have enough (whatever enough means to you) sucker type tricks in the show. |

The die box kills especially with kids. I had several and I love the one that you can show it inside and is the one I use most. You can really get the kids riled up with this and hippity hop rabbits, run rabbit run etc. I love sucker effects with killer endings.
