Steal Box

Steal Box is a close-up magic trick where a small box is shown empty, then a borrowed object (like a coin, ring, or small item) is placed inside. The magician closes the box, makes a magical gesture, and when opened, the object has vanished—only to be found in an impossible location, such as the spectator's pocket or another sealed container. This trick combines elements of sleight of hand and clever gimmickry, making it ideal for impromptu performances. Buyers should note that it requires some practice to master the handling and may involve a gimmicked box that needs resetting between performances.
