The Non Box by Orange Tree Magic

Effect

The Non Box creates the illusion of coins disappearing, reappearing, and passing through solid surfaces. Spectators see coins vanish from their hands, penetrate the box, and even watch the box itself transform from solid to hollow. The trick is interactive, allowing spectators to examine the props, which adds to its credibility and impact.

Full details

The Non Box is a versatile coin magic prop that combines features of the Okito and Boston boxes. It uses a magnetic sliding section to transform between different types of coin boxes, enabling multiple routines with a single tool. The design allows for examination, making it more convincing to audiences. Magicians can perform effects like coin teleportation, penetration, and vanishes, all with this one device.

Who should consider the trick

The Non Box is ideal for magicians who specialize in coin magic or want to expand their repertoire with a high-impact, versatile prop. It suits performers who value interactive routines and enjoy engaging their audience with examinable props. However, its high price may make it less accessible for beginners or those on a tight budget.

Information on how difficult it is to perform

The Non Box requires practice to master the sleight of hand and misdirection needed for its routines. While the prop itself is straightforward to use, the techniques involved demand skill and precision. Magicians with experience in coin magic will find it easier to adapt, but beginners may need more time to learn and perform it effectively.
