I was wondering which coin box you guys would recommend, Okito or Boston? Thanks

Since one is a gaffed box, it depends on if you want people to examine the thing.

I would recommend buying the set, either a Boston / Okito, or a Slotbox / Okito set, or all three boxes. The Okito box allows you to perform the box effects, and allows for examination of all props. Switch boxes, and you have a whole new assortment of effects to do.

Best,

Mike

Both.

Should get the set David Roth sells. Very nice set with a booklet. Just seen him on Sat. in P.A. did some great coin box routines,ball routine,wild coin,coins across. It was a great lecture.Sorry for the rambling.

Where can I get Roth's set? Thanks for the replies, also is there a difference between a buddah box and a non buddah box?

The Buddha coin box series has a curve body design. Roth's set has a straight body. Therefore, the difference is in the design of the box.

Hey cardman, I would suggest getting a Slotbox actually. Its sort of a small upgrade to the Okito box and with the right routining...

David Roth has a great routine called "Out with Five" that you can use with it

Check out Magic Warehouse and their coins section for sets of Okito Boxes.

Also, might I suggest the Beyond Okito box as well? Dan Watkin's site http://www.coinvanish.com has a review on it.

As much as I respect Roth, I feel is coin boxes are pricey. I would suggest going to Roy Kueppers and purchasing the same set for about half of the price. It is also custom made to your specs.

Another solution is the Duvivier Coin Box.

An Okito or Boston box without switching.
Climax as a solid box, with no switches.

I quite like the Swadling coin box, anyone else use it.
