The Chest of Nostradamus (Syned Soy Box) by Collectors’ Workshop, Syned Soy
(c. 2008) (Submit Review) (Submit Update)This box was invented by Syned Soy (aka Jos Denys) and was originally called the Syned Soy Box and was distributed by Select Magic of Belgium c. 1996.
What a beauty from George Robinson! The box looks amazing and intriguing with the chain. The effect is as clean as a whistle and there is absolutely nothing to find.
Effect: In effect you dangle the box from the chain in front of a spectator and inform him there is a deck of cards with a prediction inside the box. You ask him to mimic cutting a deck and count how many cards they have cut to and to look at the card at that position. This is all done in their mind. Next they reveal where they cut to and open the box and they take out the cards and prediction – the cards are not touched by the performer. They now count down to the number and show the card, it matches the prediction.
This is an clever idea which has a number of possibilities. The amazing thing is that the box and deck of cards are 100% ungimmicked and nothing is added or taken away. And yet you can always predict the card they will count too. When George puts his mind to something you can always be assured of the highest quality, and this is one of those items that surely will keep everyone guessing.
Highly Recommended for Collector’s and Performers everywhere!

Rarely does a prop, including of course the entire performance, surprise and delight me as positively as this Nostradamus chest. Technically, the box is built very nicely and everything can be inspected. The effect is excellent and there are no funny or suspicious movements. This is simply a very intelligently thought out trick and it is not difficult to show it, you just need to study it well and do everything the way George Robinson made a good effort to explain on many pages of the text, because there are more possibilities of execution.
I would recommend this to anyone who likes something clever.
