Joe Porper's "Strong Box" is absolutely the best kind of close-up locked box on the market, bar none!

          Effect: A borrowed and marked coin (a ring or borrowed bill may also be used) vanishes only to appear in a small padlocked box all while in full view.

          This type of  prop and routine have been referred to as a "classic" for good reason... it has stood the test of time, having been performed literally thousands of times by generations of magicians all over the world. It's a small prop, but packs a HUGE punch and and will play for close-up / walk-around groups up to parlor / platform shows.

          A spectator marks a borrowed quarter for identification. This is placed within the folds of a handkerchief and held by spectator. Next, a small-padlocked strong box made of heavy brushed steel (2-1/4" x 2" x 1-1/2") is shown and placed on the spectator’s open palm. A magical pass and the hank is whisked away revealing that the coin has vanished. Attention is drawn to the locked strong box, which has been sitting on top of the spectator’s open hand throughout. A small key is given to the spectator, then he himself opens the chest and finds the marked coin inside!

          Remember: The chest is in full view before the coin vanishes! The coin found in the chest is the actual marked coin.  Will easily hold up to an Eisenhower or Morgan dollar sized coin. May also be used with most any finger ring, except perhaps a man's large college ring (and even then, it would have to be a truly massive ring!).

          You receive the silver strong box (with gold accents), lock, key, suede drawstring bag for transport/performance, and full-color printed instructions. You also receive a wonderful close-up / parlor / platform routine by legendary French magician Gaetan Bloom that utilizes this box... it's called "The Poor Man's Safe".

          Joe Porper has literally revolutionized the standard Lippincott box to create a baffling yet practical box, which allows you to load a solid metal box with anything that will fit inside... while it is locked with an ordinary padlock! Perfect for magicians, mentalists and even puzzle box enthusiasts.

          NOTE: I do not know if this is an actual Joe Porper Strong Box or not.  it certainly appears  to be...it is well made with high precision craftsmanship. Some models I have seen had assembly screws on the sides.  This one does not, but I also know Joe continually updated his designs and production pieces. Because I am not certain of the origin, I'm offering it at a special price.

          This is New/Old stock and I have ONE ONLY...so it's in my "Used/Collectible" section. When it sells, I do not know when or even IF I will ever have another.  If you're interested in it, please don't hesitate!

          Original retail was $250.00. Own this one for only...
