Nick Diffatte's P.O. Box
Get 200 VI Points for this purchase.
Nick Diffatte introduces a wonderfully original and organic new take on the classic German Coin Box.
The biggest complaint many modern magicians have about coin boxes is that they look like a magic prop. With "P.O. Box" ("Plastic Organic Box"), you get a powerful coin box disguised as an ordinary-looking white bottle cap.
The naturalness of this prop allows you easily introduce it into any close-up magic or street magic situation without any suspicion. As it's also crafted from heavy duty plastic, it is built to be easily carried in your pocket and last you countless performances.
"P.O. Box" comes with video instructions featuring a variety of NIck's favorite handlings and all of the details you'll need to get started on creating your own routines.
"I usually don't like coin boxes, but I could actually see myself using this!" John Lovick
I love the idea behind this, and I love quarter-size okito work, so this seemed like a match made in heaven. It's a fair price and a terrific effect. Nick's effects are fun, easy to handle, leave room for your own creativity, and are perfectly paced visual punches. The gimmick itself is well made and passes for what it looks like, my only real issue is that it doesn't end clean. You stay dirty, they should really include a second benign one to switch out or something to conceal the dirty bits after the fact. I would have gladly paid extra for that option because I actually love this gimmick and will get a ton of use out of it! Highly recommend it if you like Okito stuff, quarter magic, or want something interesting to perform walk around.

Gene asks: The obvious question: What coin denomination does the box hold? The description does not provide an answer. From the sample video, it seems that Nick is working with quarters. Is this correct?
Craig asks: Is this coin box injection molded or 3D printed?
Nick asks: Will this work for UK 10p?
Bruce asks: I recently purchased this gimmick. It provides the password to access the handling but the web site is not active. Can you help me. Be glad to send a picture of the gimmick and postcard that arrived with it. Bruce Shields bkshields@aol.com
