THE BOXXED:

By: Larry Becker

Product manufactured by: SS Magic Shop

“The Boxded”, from the brilliant mind of World famous memntalist Mr. Larry Becker, is one of the finest pieces of mentalism effects now available only at SS Magic Shop. Effects performed using this product look so impossible, seeing this  most of the knowledgeable Magicians / Mentalists have asked us whether it is operated by some Electronic gadgets. Our answer was simply “NO” to them. Even all these props can be examined thoroughly by them before and after the performance.

This hard to obtain fine mentalism piece can be yours. SS Magic has manufactured few pieces for serious Mentalists. Read the effects first.

EFFECT #1

The performer asks the spectator to name his favorite four of a kind playing cards. For example, the spectator responds, “Fives.” Removing the four fives from the deck, the performer places them in his right hand jacket pocket. The spectator is instructed to reach into the performer’s pocket and to remove and remember the suit of any one of the four cards while the performer looks away. The spectator is asked to examine drawer box sitting on the table.

The performer asks the spectator to quarter-fold his selection with the face of the card on the inside, for example, the Five of Clubs. The spectator is then requested to staple the card closed, using a small hand stapler. The folded, stapled card is placed inside the smaller box and returned to its sleeve. Four stout rubber bands are placed around the box, two in either direction, completely securing the box. The performer shows the box to several spectators, turning it in all directions, asking them to confirm that the box is completely secured and totally opaque. It appears absolutely impossible for anyone to see the contents of the inner box. Even if they could, the suit of the spectator’s freely selected card would be completely hidden from view since the card was folded and then stapled.

Without ever approaching the box, the performer picks up a pad and quickly sketches something. Holding the pad with its back to the audience, the spectator is asked to reveal, for the first time, the suit of his freely selected card.

When the performer turns the pad towards the audience, everyone sees he’s drawn a Five of Clubs.

EFFECT #2

The performer displays a drawer box. Each is totally opaque and quite solid. The performer shows a small die and demonstrates how he wants the spectator to place the die in the drawer box, remembering the number showing uppermost on the die. Then, the performer explains, the spectator is to bind the box shut using four stout rubber bands. All of this takes place while the performer’s facing the other way. There’s no possibility of the performer seeing which number is showing uppermost on the sealed die. The performer now turns and has several spectators verify the fact the box is totally solid and impossible to see through. Without a doubt, the performer would have to possess X-ray vision to be able to see what’s inside the box.

Picking up a sheet of cardboard, the performer proceeds to draw something. Without showing what he has drawn, the performer asks the spectator to reveal for the first time, the number showing uppermost on the die sealed inside the drawer box, for example, as soon as the spectator states, “Four,” the performer shows that he has drawn a picture of a die with four spots showing uppermost.
