I just personally feel it looks more normal and less proppy but that’s probably just me Gaz 🙂

I owned the blue box but sold it ages ago. I always felt like the black one looked like it could conceal or hide their ring, or possibly arouse more suspicion. Probably silly I know.
I just didn’t really care for the way the box worked. It seemed very noisy to me if I recall. Seemed like it was almost there but not quite. If they re-release it it would be great if they tweaked a couple of things on it. |

Well I think it’s great and I suppose black is the most standard of these in the UK in a jewellers shop so it doesn’t stand out like a sore thumb . I like it to be used as less conspicuously as possible Gaz 🙂

This box has been on my wish list for so long. I’m too nervous about buying direct, I’ve only just got comfortable with ordering online. This dinosaur is happy to wait to see if dealers have it in stock at some point.

Vanishing Ring Box seems to be available for pre-order here: https://www.theonlinemagicstore.com/prod......ng-ring/
However they charge $125 for international shipping (no... that's not a typo...)... |

According to prop dog they won’t be selling via Murphy’s
So only place you can get it is direct from them While I am not a big fan of sandsminds I would say this Is the one and only product that is worth buying ( except for the Red version which is not worth the extra) |

It does not say "pre-order" anywhere. I went through the process and just ordered.
I wonder if these are in stock now? |

Why would anyone order directly from Sansminds with all of their sordid history of not sending out products as promised (e.g., Armando Lucero's"exclusive DVDs" that were later offered at other shops, Vapr watch orders that were never filled after launch, CD Prediction for $600 that was supposed to be an exclusive product that Will later released as a DIY solution for $40 [after that particular DVD player was discontinued). I understand wanting a Vanishing Ring Box. I really do. It is brilliant. I bought one used (a blue one), and it is a dream to use before COVID-19 ruined live performances. I love it and will never part with mine. However, I bought it from a reputable magic shop that had it in stock, not Sansminds. Keep us posted to see if you receive one from Sansminds. Will Tsai is brilliant in many ways as a creator, that is not debatable. What I question is Sansminds long history of questionable business ethics. |

The list of Sansminds' unethical practice is as long as my and your Xmas' magic wishlist (translation...very long)... Good luck. When (if) you get your magical hands on one, it is a joy to practice with. I love it; however, the routine ideas on the Sansminds download are not the best. One of the ideas is vanishing a ring and having it appear in a tomato or other fruit. I have performed my share of Bill in Lemon, Card in Orange, and other :vanish an object and have it appear in an impossible location" effects. I thought the whole idea of someone's expensive ring appearing in a fruit full of pulp is absolutely awful, even when one has performer's insurance. I guarantee that if you are a professional, your client will not be impressed as her family heirloom is covered in seeds, pulp, and tomato juice! |

I love this effect and was wondering do most of you who use this do the vanish with the hand holding the box ( ie one handed ) before you take the box with the other hand for someone to hold . Or do you do the necessary for the vanish with the hand you are taking the box away with ? I hope that makes sense Gaz 🙂

Not sure why Propdog would say Murphy's won't get it. On their site now as coming soon.

Then I hand the other volunteer (usually a friend or significant other of the volunteer) another item to hold where the ring appears. For me , it's Tom Yurasits' Lock Nest of Boxes. I wanted to do this with Joao Miranda's Timeless, but it wasn't the right solution for me. Timeless broke on me in the first 10 minutes of practice. With Tom Yurasits' Lock Nest of Boxes, it will last of lifetime and has the same effect on spectators. |
