Lock-Nest Boxes by Tom Yurasits

A much overlooked and highly practical Nest of Boxes. This is another very nice set of practical nesting boxes. The boxes are small and the mechanism is clever and easy to operate. The mechanism is very similar to the Porper Strong Box but Joe Porper’s box was released years later.

What is particularly nice about this set is that even with the key locked you can get back into the boxes anytime. There are certainly more beautiful boxes, but this set is small and practical and much more likely to be used.

Effect: Place a paper bag on the table. Borrow a spectators ring and vanish it. Open the paper bag to reveal a small intricately hand carved wooden box that is padlocked with a small brass padlock. Give the box and keys to the spectator to open. Spectator opens the box and inside finds another carved box. Inside that box is another box. And inside that box is the borrowed ring. Keep in mind that the box is actually locked. No slides or gimmicks to get rid of. Comes with a set of three beautifully carved and stained hardwood boxes that nest perfectly together. The boxes can be passed out for examination.
