Hi Folks!
I just saw the ads in Both Recent Issues of Genii & MAGIC Magazine for the New El Duco Trick: "The Black Box" Looks really good in print, but does ANYONE out there have a Real Review for it? =Frank=
The Early Bird may get the Worm, but it's the SECOND Mouse that gets the CHEESE!!!

click on close-up magic heading Appears to be an improved version of the box that he sold many years ago. I had the old one and it was pretty clever but this new one seems to work differently and sounds better. I'm curious myself now. Matt |

Interesting tidbit: Stevens' told me there was a bit of a controversy surrounding this effect. Apparently, two manufactuers are claiming responsibility for the creation of the box used. After this batch, Stevens' doesn't intend to order any more.Did say it was a great (and easy) effect, tho...

It does sound good! Anyone out there have it to review?
The Magical stage parallels that of the Stage of Life. We can step off, re-direct, and Create new Miracles as easily, and as naturally as taking in a breath...

I have ordered the Black Box directly from El Duco (we both live in Sweden), and will post a review as soon I have got the box, and have been playing around with it a bit.

I got TBB today, and I like it. Simple method, but plays great.
What you get is a beautiful made special box (manufactured by Viking Mfg,Co), a ribbon, and a ring. I never had to read the instructions, I just looked at the pictures and understod how everyting worked. I you are like me and prefear simple methods, and want to work on the presentations instead, this is an effect for you. I give it an 8 out of 10 Peo

Peo,
Can you describe the effect? The ad wasn't really clear. Eric |

Ask a spectator to place a solid steel ring into the box and close the lid.
Show a ribbon. Place it on top of the box and hold it in place with your fingers. Show the box from ALL sides. Ask the spectator to take hold of the ends of of the ribbon and pull ... Instantly the ring appears linked to the ribbon. Open the box and show it empty. Peo

Is this item available in the U.S. anywhere?

I wouldn't be surprised if Hank Lee soon will have it, as he have most of El Duco's effects.
