Nest of Boxes (Himber) by Viking Mfg.
(c. 1997) (Submit Review) (Submit Update)In my opinion, this is still the best single person nest of boxes on the market today! The gimmick is perfect and it works every time with no issues or awkward moves. Of all the nest of boxes I’ve owned this is the one I actually use in performance.
Effect: Load right in front of your audience; no special tables, gimmicks etc. Imagine a beautiful mahogany treasure chest trimmed in brass and secured with a brass padlock. The performer borrows a wrist watch which he causes to vanish. The chest is brought forward to the footlights to allow a spectator to open it. Inside is a walnut box which the spectator removes and opens. This exposes another beautiful box locked with a padlock. The spectator unlocks this box and lo and behold, the missing watch is found resting safely within!
Remember this: The chest is always in full view. Once the spectator touches the chest, the performer’s work is done. There are no special tables or outside gimmicks. Nothing is added or taken away. All padlocks are genuine. The handcrafted mahogany chest, trimmed in solid brass measures 10 V2″ x 7″ x V I”. Both inner boxes are also made of select hardwoods with brass hardware.

Scott Snider –
These boxes are a reputation maker.
The boxes are very well made from select hard woods. They are made so they can be handled by the magician alone. No assistant needed. I cannot say enough about this Viking product. They are becoming harder to find so if you have ever thought of adding a nested box routine to your show this is the one to own. The handling is remarkabley easy and this one will keep them at the ultimate WOW factor. Andy’s pictures really don’t do the justice to the beauty of these fine pieces or craftsmanship.
