Douglas-Wayne Illusioneering was started by George Richbark and Dave Dorsett in the early 1990’s. They created some beautiful and intricate collector’s pieces specializing in wood. They also produced some faithful reproductions from the works of Professor Hoffman. Today George Richbark continues to make beautiful magic.
On page 202 of Modern Magic Professor Hoffman described The Miraculous Casket. In 1991 Douglas-Wayne Illusioneering, founded by George Richbark and Dave Dorsett, created this beautiful reproduction staying true to Professor Hoffman’s description. And what a beauty it is.
Effect: A locking hardwood box 3″ x 2″ x 2-1/2″ is shown. The box looks like a small treasure chest. The interior is velvet lined with slots to accept four coins. After borrowing four coins and locking them inside the box, they vanish, one at a time! And, the most amazing part is that they vanish while the spectator is holding the box! The workmanship on this prop is outstanding. Made of Mahogany and brass with a mechanism nothing short of brilliant!

Show a velvet lined, hardwood box with slots for four coins. After borrowing coins from your audience and locking them inside the box, the coins vanish one at a time WHILE THE SPECTATOR HOLDS THE CASKET! A beautiful, unusual item that you can be proud to perform.
