ProKito
The first batch of ProKito sold out within three hours of launch. A new batch is coming soon.
An elegant, contemporary Okito Box built exclusively for the modern performer. “ProKito Box” by Brian Watson is a pocket-sized miracle-maker that allows you to perform a variety of truly stunning coin magic tricks.
Our head craftsman Brian Watson is a wildly-talented creator and performer that has been obsessed with the Okito Box since he was a kid. The problem is, he always struggled with the fact that the Okito Box looks like…well, a magic prop. So, he created “ProKito Box”, the Professional Okito Box he’s always wanted and we’re proud to offer it as a Vanishing Inc. exclusive product.
For more than 30 years, Brian has dedicated his life to creating magic props that are both practical AND elegant. He obsesses over the detail and refuses to sacrifice quality. The props he attaches his name to, like his beloved Cups and Balls set, must handle as good as they look.
You can experience this commitment to quality yourself with “Prokito.” There is no cheap looking brass here. “ProKito” is handmade to perfection out of fine pewter. Even the design itself was obsessed over for years as Brian wanted a ornate pattern that was stylish and modern, without being overbearing.
Most importantly though, “ProKito” handles like a dream. Coin magicians will fall in love from the first time it touches their hands. It offers the perfect weight, allowing standard Okito moves like turnovers and loads to flow seemingly effortlessly in motion.
“ProKito” has also been carefully crafted to be just slightly wider than your standard Okito Box. So, while it holds standard half dollar coins, it also allows you to incorporate an expanded shell. This opens up a whole new world of coin magic possibilities.
While it might look like a collector’s item, “ProKito” is designed to be used. That’s why each set also comes with an exclusive download featuring some of the most modern and visual coin box magic we’ve ever seen. This includes five complete routines from Okito Box and coin magic expert Smayfer Martinez.
Magicians deserve the perfect tools to help them achieve the perfect performance. That’s why we are proud to present “Prokito Box”.

You don’t just get the box. The teaching around the routine and moves found within helps raise the value of this product.

I do agree with another comment made about the video. It is a nice demonstration, but I wish there would have been voice or text to accompany the routine.
Some very beautiful moves that now I definitely am going to have to do some practicing.
The box itself is very nice looking and even though it is an Okito Box it has a look of elegance that is different from your usual brass box. While still a magic prop it looks to compliment the coins and not just look like a magic prop.
This all changed with Prokito!
FINALLY an okitk box that looks like something ornamental that a person may collect and have around the house.
Not just a plan brass box but a stunning celtic design you will be proud to use.
It also handles like an absolute dream!
Prokito is now my go to coin box and is what I will use at every gig.
Like I wrote above this one is a cool box for the design. It is light and can do all the standard Okito moves really well.
It will generate interesting comments based on the design. A great one to add to your coin box collection.

Unfortunately, mine had some minor defects that kept it from working smoothly. Vanishing Inc’s support team was great and provided a replacement immediately. Unfortunately this one two had some imperfections that made the lid to get stuck in certain position.
After two more replacements I finally requested a refund.
I really wanted this prop and applaud Vanishing Inc’s team for trying hard to fulfill the order but I guess these are some of the challenges when ordering hand made props.
Hopefully some of these defects can be removed in a future batch and I’ll finally be able to add the ProKito box to my magic bag
( Swiss Victorinox multi- tool ). The box is perfect now with absolutely no visible marks beyond a very tiny ding mark on the lid which is to me completely acceptable. I took away a star because I had to put in an hour to an hour and a half of work. I can understand asking for a refund or replacement because if by trying to fix the box and it became damaged a refund or replacement might be rejected by the seller however I gave it four stars because it does look great and now is in perfect working condition. Regardless of the work it took, I am very happy with this box.
Aside from the unique appearance which would make the box fit in well in Ren or Celtic Fair environments, the box holds five half dollars or pre-decimal half-crowns. which means you can use it for routines that require more than four coins in the box. (E.g., several in Blenkinsopp's "Coin & Box" book.) It holds an expanded half-dollar shell even with five halves, (but not a half-crown shell), which is another big plus.
What prevents this from being excellent for me is two things: no slot, and the heft is a bit less than you get with brass. I like the sturdy feel of brass Okito boxes.
I can't comment on the video as I haven't watched it yet, but I have heard it is excellent.
