Hi folks,
There are coin boxes out there which are decorated an some which have clever mechanical features - but this is about basic handling. Which coin box have you found easiest or most reliable for the basic trick? Including the drop into your other hand at the end? Thanks in advance, JonT

Buddha Boxes. All of them. My favorite of the boxes I own.

I picked up my first set of coin boxes just a few months ago, so still working to get the knack of things down perfectly. I got an older Jim Zee Okito box from this forum first then a set from Airship a little later. Both Okito boxes are similar and seem easy to me to make the "move". Airship's boxes are well made and seem to be reasonably priced.

I like Jim Zee boxes quite a bit but I do like Craig Ousterling boxes better because they have rings around the box at the edge of the lid. Hides any wear discrepancies. And they're beautiful.

I have eight sets and prefer the Buddha for coins, but have a wooden one I use with a ring by choice.

Another vote for the Ousterling boxes. Good weight and easy to handle.

@Chuck Finley, that's a sleek looking coin box. Where is it from?
@magojose|, Craig is making beautiful boxes. Do you have a non-gaffed box (or slot) of his and if so how are the tabled and drop turnovers? There are some details about weight and how the lid fits on the box that effect those one-handed turnovers.

Excellent custom boxes if you have specific requirements. |

IMHO there's nothing weird with the weight of the box regards the turnovers...if I understand your question If you want I can record you a little video with it, just PM me! |

Thanks for offering a video. +1 for Craig's boxes.
Ah the things you find out when looking to match up a Bobby Bernard box or a Sawa box...

Just wondering...since Okito got his original idea from a pill box...have we checked if there are pill boxes out there today that would be useful to us? I got this idea when I learned that the Linking Finger Ring(s) was actually an item designed for people with arthritis and found already in medical supply houses and adapted to a magic trick. Anyway.

P.s. I actually like my Roy Keuppers set. A little tight for English pennies; I had to steel wool the inside and also the edges of my English pennies, but after that I like the action.
