This sounds very interesting.
It's An Illusion Unless I Can't Fix It Then It's A Reality.

I think it is too big. Parabox is the perfect size, plus you have the sponge ball routine.

Agree. Would be nice if there was some sort of kicker at the end.

Paul Harris is a big fan of organic moments which can be used as a lead-in to a different effect.
Pieces of strange which can be used as conversation starters... I am guessing this is the direction he is pushing for this use of the Gozinta Boxes principle. It is hard to capture such moments on a magic trailer. I imagine you would place the trick you want to perform inside the box - and have the Gozinta Box effect as a casual one which you hope spectators notice, as you open the boxes to remove the trick. Before going into the effect you wanted to show them. A trick within a trick - so to speak... |

I like that idea Bob. Great way to use this otherwise empty box.

This is the perfect version of the effect. Lubor's original Gozinta Boxes were slightly larger than these. The effect looks better with larger boxes, and the design used here for both boxes is really interesting and deceptive.

Great to see Lubor's classic in a fully authorized version manufactured with care and to his vision of what it should look like.

I like these boxes - ideal for this effect. But indeed, they are bigger, which has its (dis)advantages.
I won't buy these however and for one reason only: I find the price to be way too high! |

It does seem a tad expensive. Not sure about this one.

These boxes are of Lubor's design, and they're what he used when he lectured at MAGIC Live! last summer. It makes a lot more sense to have a box that looks like it has just come through the mail with a gift box inside it than a huge die (which looks like nothing other than a magician's prop).

The Die had a decent story.

I have always thought when presenting the Gozinta Boxes, one should never completely close up the outer box before putting it into the inner box but it should be closed AS it is put into the inner box. It needs to be seen at maximum expanded size up until the very last moment possible.

TOTALLY Agree with Angelo. The effect never really fooled me so when I used to demo the Driebeck Die at Hank Lee's I would hold one box in each hand so it wasn't a complete cube but rather the lower part of the box would protrude a 1/2 inch or so.

I'll third what Angelo said. It's the same way I've performed it and advised others to do it that way as well. It's important to practice in a mirror and then you'll understand why leaving the bottom half protruding is important to retain the original shape and dimensions. The protrusion is evident when it's the outer box so to reassemble it in its compressed form is to create a pretty glaring discrepancy while tipping the method. If you practice the right orientation of the boxes during performance, then they need never see the discrepancy.

It appears that that the design of these boxes, particularly the inside one (stripes) helps disquise that discrepancy. I do agree with you and Angelo that it is an important part of enhancing the illusion.
