Rattle Box

Go Ahead - I dare you!
Vanish her expensive diamond ring - in HER hands.

The magician asks a woman spectator to loan him her finger ring. (Trust me, the more expensive the ring, the better the effect!) For safe keeping, the magician has her place the ring into a small hardwood box herself. The lid is closed and when the box is shaken, the ring can be heard rattling around inside. The box is then given to the spectator to hold. The box is shaken a few moments later and no rattle is heard. Could it be? When she opens the box, she finds the ring has completely vanished. Her expansive ring may be found in a ball of yarn, nest of boxes, etc.

Remember:

The rattle is heard until the last second
The magician's hands are shown empty just before and after the ring vanishes
The box may be actually held by the spectator
Versatile - Uses rings, coins, poker chips, etc.

Note: We highly recommend the Quarter-Go box (sold separately below) as a companion piece to produce the vanished item.

The Rattle Box is manufactured by the craftsmen at Viking Manufacturing from select walnut wood and measures 2 3/8 inches wide by 3 1/2 inches deep by 1 1/2 inches high. You receive the Rattle Box and complete instructions.

Quarter - Go
a.k.a. Lippencott Box

This box is so cleverly constructed,
it may even fool many experienced magicians!

A quarter is borrowed and marked. It is placed into a handkerchief and given to a spectator to hold in one hand. Next, a small padlocked chest is displayed and placed on the palm of the spectator's other hand. The magician asks the spectator to take the quarter from the handkerchief. But, to his surprise, the coin has vanished. The spectator uses a key to unlock the padlock on the small chest. Unbelievable as it may seem, when the lid of the chest is opened, the marked coin is found inside.

This routine is equally effective when performed with a borrowed finger ring, poker chip folder dollar bill, etc. The Quarter-Go box may also be used with the Rattle Box (sold separately above) to vanish the selected item. Once you examine this unique box, your mind will flood with ideas for its use.

This beautiful box is so deceptively designed, it can actually be handled by the spectator without fear of detection. Quarter-Go measures 2 inches wide by 1 3/4 inches deep by 1 1/4 inches high and features a felt lined bottom surface inside for silent operation. It is hand-crafted from select walnut woods and brass hardware by Viking Manufacturing. You receive the Quarter-Go box, lock, keys and complete instructions detailing three methods for presenting this effect.

Penetration Frame

Simple, Effective and Thought Provoking

The Penetration Frame is a perfect choice for walk around or platform entertainers. It requires no skill and may even be performed surrounded if you choose. A solid plastic glass in a frame is given for examination. Nothing unusual can be detected. A randomly chosen playing card or business card is placed on each side of the frame, underneath the thin strip, so that the center of the glass is covered on both sides. The performer now pierces both cards and the glass with a borrowed pencil. This can be followed by a silk handkerchief or a ribbon. The cards are then removed by the performer and to everyone's amazement, the glass is in perfect condition and the frame can again be passed for examination.

You receive the Penetration Frame and illustrated instructions. You add your own favorite silk handkerchief, pencil and cards.
