The Orange Cabinet (The Ring And The Orange) by Milson-Worth

Although this classic item (inspired by Thayer’s Baffo, or more likely U.F. Grant’s Potato Box or Appealing Orange Box) from Milson-Worth is beautifully made and really looks convincing I’d love to know how many people have actually performed it as designed.

The instructions and items you are provided with work perfectly and they clearly thought through the whole routine, but who wants to be cutting up juicy oranges on a regular basis?

For these photos I did run through the whole routine and it all goes smoothly.  Attaching the ring takes a few minutes to get the knack but should only be a few seconds live (unfortunately my video was more delayed than I would like, I’m sure you can do better) and otherwise there are no tricky moves.

The video is not perfect, but it is close enough 🙂

Includes:

• Beautiful Orange Cabinet
• Two duplicate cords with stiffened ends
• Wire gimmick for threading one cord through orange
• Sharp knife (bonus).
• Good quality and perfectly sized  Devil’s Handkerchief

Bowl and Oranges NOT included – they are not gimmicked so you can easily find them lying around the home 🙂

Effect: If you’re looking for the impact of a major illusion in a small package with a price to match – this is for you! The magician displays a small cabinet with doors front and top. The front door is opened and the brightly striped interior of the cabinet shown to be unmistakably empty. The cabinet is then piaced on a table, the top door opened and a length of heavy cord placed in the box. The ends of the cord are threaded through holes in the sides of the box and tied together in front. The cabinet may be given to a spectator to hold or left on the table in full view of the audience.

An orange is now selected from a tray of oranges, offered for examination, and then made to disappear. A ring is borrowed from a member of the audience and it, too, is made to disappear. Attention is now called to the ends of the cord which are still knotted together in front of the cabinet. The top door is opened and the orange revealed insiide the cabinet threaded on the cord. After untying the ends of the cord, the orange and cord are pulled free of the cabinet.

The orange is cut open and, in the center, knotted to the cord, is found the borrowed ring which may be removed and identified by the spectator. Everything is supplied except the orange and borrowed ring. Imagine – all this in traditional Milson-Worth style with full, illustrated instructions for only $99.50, including postage and insurance.
