What's old is new again... I really mean it this time!
Some things we take for granted... thumb tips, egg bags, shell coins... they've always been there and consequently we never think to really explore them. give them the time they deserve.
Over the years I've attacked various tricks this way, the Egg Bag, the Wonder Box etc
Now it's time for THE DIE BOX!
Yep. The Die Box.
It's really a wonderful trick and has historically been referred to as a great kids trick, but as you'll see in this video, it's so much more, and the one man who made it truly famous back in the day, did it mostly... for adults.
We discuss it all, and I'll also teach you a new handling that magnifies the magical aspects of the routine 100%
Note that I shot this while on tour with The Illusionists in 2023. In fact, I shot this on our final night... this routine was with me for entire 2 month run as my extra - emergency - routine. It's that good :)
And now I'm tipping my handling and all my thoughts on the sucker aspects and how to really maximize the entertainment of it all.. to you.

The method is cool and visual and I think wouldn’t be too h...

I love vintage magic, but sadly so much of it has been lost to time. So I'm often thrilled when I uncover something good, or that has promise and deserves to be resurrected. This effect is by the British magic dealer Edward Bagshawe(1902-1940).
Edward Bagshawe was a professional dealer during t...
