    Talk About Breathtaking Magic!

    Wow! Just when you think you know all about those amazing guys over at Magic Wagon, they come out with something even more beautiful and even more amazing than before!

    This has to be their most breathtaking box so far, and the effect and method is also one of their strongest. It is a perfect illusion which is easy to do but leaves no clue as to the method.

    The basic effect is as follows: you show a beautiful box and place it down in front of the spectators. You now borrow a coin and have it signed. The coin vanishes using your favourite method, and then you open up the box … inside is filled with coffee beans. Out of the beans is hanging a single red ribbon – the spectator can pull this and their coin is found attached to a clip at the botton – buried deep in the beans. The beans can now be tipped out and inside the box is as clean as a whistle.

    This is an amazing effect that works consistently every time, without any tricky moves.

    Breathtaking Beauty, Amazing Effect and Easy To Do! What more could you ask for? Nothing. This is a real winner for sure.

    Most Highly Recommended for anyone who loves beautiful magic.

    Outstanding and Exquisite

    This chest is absolutely perfectly finished and precision made like a fine jewelry box. It is so beautiful that one would never suspect it is uniquely designed to accomplish a magic trick. The effect involves the appearance of a marked half dollar previously vanished and now found buried in coffee beans and visible only with a ribbon sticking out of the beans when the chest is opened. The coin is held in a clip inside the beans. I love finely finished boxes, and this chest is as beautifully finished and perfectly crafted as any you will ever find.

    This is a prize to my collection and will be to yours if you choose to get it. Highly recommended.

    Instant Classic

    Maybe I’m going out on a limb here, but it seems to me that we are seeing Magic Wagon become one of the classic magic manufacturers of our age. They don’t seem to miss a beat when it comes to creating timeless, first-rate effects in both quality and concept.

    The Chao Phraya Chest is another release from Magic Wagon that defies description regarding the effort that went into creating this piece. The effect is a simple coin to impossible location, but the method is seamless and flawless, and the chest is a work of art. Your audience will feel special just looking at the wonderful workmanship and finish. I shouldn’t go on too much about the craftsmanship for fear of overshadowing the effect…which is excellent. Because you don’t need to concentrate on loading the signed coin since the operation is so easy, you can put your energy where it should be…into your performance. And the beauty of the box lends itself to creating a story about its history and how you acquired it. It is just too beautiful not to talk about.

    Buy this effect. Use this effect. Enjoy this effect…your audience definitely will.
