Magic Review - Out of the Box by Mario Lopez

David from Magic Orthodoxy delivers a detailed review of 'Out of the Box' by Mario Lopez, a coin magic effect utilizing an aito box. He received a review copy from stevensmagic.com and aims to provide potential buyers with a comprehensive understanding of the trick and its construction. The effect involves three coins – copper, silver, and a Chinese coin – seemingly vanishing and reappearing from the box, creating a visually engaging routine. The package includes a brass aito box, gaffed coins (including a Chinese coin, a Kennedy half dollar, and a brass okito box coin), and an hour-long tutorial. While the trick utilizes gaffed coins and a gimmicked box, it's relatively accessible, not requiring advanced sleight of hand. The tutorial also covers a second trick performed without the box. Lopez's approach is relaxed and conversational, sharing the story of the trick's accidental discovery. David highlights the importance of pocket management and angles, noting that the effect is largely covered. While most aspects are inspectable, one gaff coin cannot be examined. David found the video entertaining, praising Lopez's humor and the production quality, but felt the hour-long tutorial was excessive. Ultimately, he believes the $165 price tag is a personal decision. He also mentions his other YouTube channel, 'The Magic Channel Card Tricks,' where he teaches beginner-level card magic and reviews magic kits.
