My Mind & your Mind Boxes Today!
This is a very commercial presentation with loads of other possibilites! The prop is the classic Lubor Fiedler's "Gozinta" boxes. These boxes however are black with silver printing on them.
One box says "My Mind" and the other box "Your Mind". When the performer takes the nested boxes apart, he looks inside the "Your Mind" box and finds the spectator's chosen card. But now the fun begins... The performer pushes a card out face down from the deck. He peeks at the card. He puts the spectator's "Your Mind" box inside his "My Mind" box. "Now that your mind is inside my mind, you should be able to name the card I have in mind" the performer says to the spectator.
Sure enough, now that the spectator's "mind box" is inside the performer's "mind box" she can read his mind! She correctly names the face down card.
There are so many entertaining possibilties with this "Your Mind" and "My Mind" set of Gozinta or "In and Outer" boxes. This is commercial stuff for mentalists, and magicians will no doubt enjoy this too.
The plot of the nesting boxes; the outer one being able to go inside the inner box and vice-versa is always a novelty. But now there is a reason for the boxes to behave this way, and ends with a stunning climax to boot!
An entertianing bit to carry in your pocket to use with cards, or even billets, center tears and serial number effects. Kenton gives you his complete routine with the specially made boxes, and you are bound to come up with more of your own.
Boxes are black with silver lettering and artwork. A great price for a very commercial prop and routine as designed and performed by Kenton himself.
Reviews
(Top ▲)
The Gozinta box, invented by Lubor Fiedler is a tremendous prop. Kenton Knepper has done something clever by labeling each box “My Mind” and “Your Mind”. There is now a clear distinction between the two boxes, drawing attention to the seeming impossibility of the Gozinta Boxes paradox.
CONS
Aside from labeling the boxes “My Mind” and “Your Mind”, Kenton didn’t really do anything creative for the routine. The routine is a thought of playing card is in the inner box. Not so creative.
VERDICT
Nice concept for labeling the boxes “My Mind” and “Your Mind”, but other than that, not a lot of creativity. You can probably purchase Gozinta Boxes less expensively.
