Hi!

I have a mini zag from Internationalmagic(RonMcMillan) in England. It was bought for a TV-show(never became used) in Sweden around 1993. Now I´m the owner. Its very nice built. I love it! But both the tubes goes in from front side. I haven´t seen this version so often. Most of the mini zags the cubes goes in from front and side.

Which is the Original?

The version with the tubes going in from the front and side is the original.
Gunther Puchinger from Germany created it and the one you have is unfortunately a copy and it is not as deceptive as the original! (it misses some important details....)

Thanks for the answer.

In my opinion this copy is more deceptive than the original. It looks more impossible. Which important details do you think it misses?

The front and side tubes add an extra layer of deception to the illusion and remove, in the audience's minds, any possibility that the assistant can be hiding anywhere in the illusion.
