Does anyone know where I can get the ‘Butterfly’ cards that are shown in the video? Are they available from Kelvin Chow? Or at least a download of a template/photos of them or similar. The box is beautiful (I own one and may get a second). I don’t plan to produce a life butterfly but I want to have appear an origami butterfly than I made earlier, animated, and vanished earlier. The duplicate can then be given away.

If I am lucky enough to get a box, fingers crossed! I plan on using it in conjunction with Ondrej Psenicka butterfly deck! Also available from Vanishingincmagic.com to do a switch with the chosen card to an origami butterfly with wings labeled with chosen card! I am seeing a huge list of possibilities with this box! Hope I get one!

It appears the starting point for the effect is an open box with a deck of cards in it. That seems unnatural to me. Based on what I see is the box could also be used without the gaff. In a full performance it seems to me starting clean. Performing with the deck and on an off beat switch to the gaff. I’m leaning towards getting two for this purpose. Does this seem feasible?

It is feasible, and you receive an extra base in the package, just for this purpose.

Following on from David’s question - could you find out and tell us where we can purchase the five butterfly backed cards shown in the demo and / or provide a pdf image of the back of the cards so we can make our own. With calling the box the Butterfly Box I am disappointed not to be getting these cards. I plan to use a paper butterfly. Thank you in advance.

These are not provided but you can easily make your own with a sticker or by going to a custom card printer.

Hi, can the five butterfly backed cards shown in the demo be purchased from you? Thanks, David

Unfortunately, we do not sell those cards

Is the butterfly box big enough to hold a card box full of cards (not just a deck) before the gimmick is brought into play?

Sorry, the box would not fit—it is precision made for the six of the deck.

I understand just one change. But can that one change be (for instance): FROM coins TO full deck? OR... FROM empty container TO full deck? Or do you always have to start with a deck vanish?

The effect is designed to go from a full deck to another object.

Timothy asked, "Does the box work both ways? Can I use it to produce a deck and then vanish it?" This may have sounded like 2 productions (produce the deck from an empty box, and then vanish the deck to show the box empty once again -- or with something else inside. Just to be clear... Can you start with, let's say coins the box, then close it and when you open it again, there is a deck of cards?Thank you.

No - you can only make one change (unless you changed it to say, a nested shell coin, and then picked up both coins and changed stole the shell away).

Sorry if this has been asked but I couldn't see a definite answer. The 'deck'is a gimmick. Is the gimmicked deck included or is it a separate item? Thanks

You will need to supply your own cards.

Can I carry around a real working deck of cards in the box (without doing the trick) ((At first))

The box does fit a full deck. but to move on to the butterfly effect, you would need to switch in the gimmick. In the tutorial, we have offer a practical handling to switch in the gimmick halfway along the performance, and we also supplied the part needed for the switch.

Pure. Elegance. That's what this is. If you're looking for a poetic, stunning way to end or begin a close-up performance, this polished wooden box is what you're searching for.

This elegant little box, handmade of real polished, finished wood, allows you to change what appears to be a loose deck of playing cards into ANYTHING of similar size. You can, for example, show the cards in the box, remove four Aces, and then change all the other cards into four silver dollars, so you can perform a version of Matrix.

You can change a deck of cards into grains of sand or sugar.

You can change a deck of Butterfly cards into a real butterfly.

The possibilities are endless, and it always works the same way. Absolutely no technique required to master. The apparatus does everything for you. This is a beautiful package, and one you can insert into your set to make a beautiful transition, or simply add on an unbelievable closer.

The Butterfly Box is a Vanishing Inc. exclusive and will not be available elsewhere.

Customer reviews for Butterfly Box

Mark

I love using the Butterfly Box with the Polish Poker packet effect. No sleight of hand is involved and it doesn't look like a packet effect!

Rodolfo

This is a wonderful device and I am very pleased with this purchase. I do a lot of cold deck work and Butterfly Box is a great addition. Standalone this is a deck vanish. Properly handled it can be used to discard a warm deck, go into a packet trick phase and/or as seen in the demo vanish the deck leaving behind the Matrix cards and coins or something else - magicians choice. The gaff cannot produce a cold deck, but it can be used to dispense with the suspicion of conjuring up one or reaching for a replacement.

Michael

I’m so glad I bought this before it sold out the Craftsmanship is incredible, I use this with a live butterfly and everyone can’t believe what just happened.

Sammy

Very good! I love the extra trick explanations, so many possibilities and ideas! Thank you!

Jason

Well made trick. Will last many years. A must for close-up Magicians.

Tony

I use this box regularly all over the world. I have a 3 stage routine, the final part is the amazing butterfly box I have made a very slight adjustment to the box, to fall in line with my routine. The final reaction by using the butterfly box is absolutely incredible, for lay audiences and Magicians that haven’t seen the butterfly box. In my opinion this is a fantastic prop that can be used to produce almost anything smaller than a pack of cards, so good I bought 2 of them.

TADAHISA asks: With the box, is it possible to change a set of several cards (7-8 cards) to a different set of several cards (7-8 cards)? I mean, can you do a "packet change" with it? Thank you.
