Tele Vision Box

The props are simple. Four numbered wooden blocks and two wooden boxes. A spectator is asked to arrange the numbered blocks inside asmall wooden box. He closes and locks the box and places it inside another box. This is done while your back is turned. You turn around and pick up the box. Instantly, you are able to divine the exact order of the blocks. Beautifully hand crafted in oak.

This is a very nice trick wich I have used a lot in close up situtations. No electronics involved. Practice in front of a mirror and see to it that you are not surrounded. The fact that it is the spectator who puts the first box into the second box makes him feel the boxes cannot be gimmicked. You will need good eyes in low lighting though. There is one little detail where the prop could be improved. I would prefer red and white or black and white used instead of bare metal and red. Bare polished metal takes on the colour it reflects and is thus sometimes difficult to distiguish. If it were not for these small points of criticism I would give the trick 5 stars. Recommended.
