Effect

The Classico XO Game is a dual-purpose magic prop that serves as both a prediction device and a production box. To the audience, it appears as a beautifully crafted wooden box with X and O game pieces. The magician invites a spectator to play a game of tic-tac-toe (noughts and crosses), allowing them to make free choices. At the end, the magician reveals that they predicted the exact outcome of the game by turning the box over, displaying a pre-drawn solution.

Alternatively, the box can be used as a draw box, where objects like coins or cards magically appear inside after being shown empty.
