Customer reviews for Crystal Billet Box

Bill
Ok...I have never spent this much money on a trick as this. That being said I am floored by the quality of this box. And it's simplicity.
The magnitude of what this innocent clear box can do is staggering.
It could easily cost twice as much. Well done David !
Steve
It's pretty much what I thought it would be but very nicely made. I like it, super easy to use and mine is very silent so no issues at all there. It's one of those reworking of an old method and one where you go "oh why didn't I think of that". In answer to someone's question earlier "Can the audience handle it"...I would say No. There's really no reason for them to or to want to really. You get a decent amount of ideas from David in this package. Like I said, very nicely made, silent, solid and should last a lifetime. Only downside is the cost but for a good quality product, I'm willing to pay the price. I would recommend.
Peter
Simple yet elegantly effective. The design and the quality leave nothing but admiration for David. I am sure that with practice a more direct approach to utilizing this can be found. In saying that I am sure that you can make this a multi-phase routine combining billets and at the same time cards. I have a few ideas but am yet to audience test this as I only received this a few days ago. Still, David STOP making these....everybody wants one...thanks again.
Thomas
This is a great switching device.
The fact that it is clear makes it so much more deceiving than other switching boxes on the market.
Angles will need to be considered for certain stages etc, but with a bit of stage management this shouldn't be a problem.
The box looks nice and good quality and switches the paper/billets etc with ease.
Matt
LOVE THIS! i got to see it last year at the TRICS convention in NC, and WOW! finally came up with a routine for it so i got the smaller one, it looks and feels SO innocent! it works with billet, bills, business cards, book pages, polaroids, literally any small flat object, and it is so clean and inconspicuous looking! Honestly can’t say enough about this, and the fast that it’s made by one of the greatest guys doesn’t hurt! Love that it comes with 2 different lids for different applications, and he sourced good quality rubber bands and a great bag for it, all top notch! Great Utility and some good ideas in the tutorial to get you started

I'm absolutely thrilled with the crystal billet box. To start with, the method is ingeniously simple yet clever. It's so straightforward that you can start performing with it immediately. The box comes with a variety of routines and ideas, as part of the instructional guide. The craftsmanship of the crystal billet box is flawless, making it an essential element for all my shows. I've already brainstormed several ways to integrate it into my performances.

For instance, at a recent corporate event, I asked the audience to write down their favorite leadership book and place their slips into the billet box. I invited someone on stage to pick a slip, and it was 'As A Man Thinketh'. Interestingly, I had a prediction on stage the whole time. When the spectator opened the envelope, it initially seemed to contain five predictions. The first sheet revealed 'As A Man Thinketh'. The next four sheets instructed everyone to look under their seats. To their surprise, each person found a copy of 'As A Man Thinketh' taped under their seat to take home. The entire act was a tremendous success.
Moshe
Highly recommend this. I was nervous when I paid the price as I have seen similar products that did not deliver as advertised but, as I have found so far consistently, the Vanishing guys are good at sorting the quality products from the junk. Works great as a stand-alone bit or a piece of a larger routine (I use it to force a card with a spirit slate for the final prediction/reveal). There is one aspect that I would not call an "issue" but it is something you have to learn to be careful with and watch out for. It is superbly made but especially if using thin playing cards, you have to be careful when handling it that none of the cards or billets that are not supposed to be seen are visible right up along the edge. If you see this happen, usually a slight "jog" of the box will slide the card/billet back out of view but it is something that can be a giveaway if you are not careful and you have a really keen-eyed spectator. Other than that though this fantastic and works exactly as advertised.

Parlor magicians, this is for you. Such a versatile prop with so much application. It's also beautiful and it will have a place in any of your shows.

  • Zachary asks: I see in the questions that the depth of the larger box is 3.5". The regular (smaller) box appears to be thinner but I don't see anything specifying the thickness. I'm curious to know what the OD thickness (not ID depth) of the smaller box is. I'm curious to know if it will fit in the last remaining space in my parlor case. The space I have is about 6" × 9" × 2.75" deep.

  • Gerard asks: In the video(s), what size box is David holding? Regular or Large? Thanks.

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:Regular

  • Jeffrey S asks: How robust is the Crystal Billet Box? Will it withstand being packed for travel? Is it collapsible for packing / traveling?

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:Absolutely! As long as you pad it, it will travel very well. Although it doesn’t collapse, you can fit objects inside it during travel.

  • John asks: Are there any videos with a full routine. Bought this almost 2 years ago and haven't used it yet. The video explains what it is and what it does but I can't find anything with a full routine and tutorial. Thanks.

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:Sadly, there are not. This is a tool to use with your own routines or the ones provided by David.

  • Greg asks: Can this stand size switch out a jumbo playing card laying flat in the box?

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:This would be to large for the box to switch

  • Matt asks: In the video David says the spectator can take the box out of the bag and retrieve what's inside (ie pegasus page) I assume they cannot freely handle the box from the very beginning but after the "magic" happens they can open and retrieve what is in the box no problem?

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:That is correct. Once the switch is done, the spectator can handle the box.

  • Maurie asks: Can it switch a standard A10 business envelope (4.2x9.5)?

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:Those might be a little bit big for the box. You might want to fold them in half or cut them down.

  • Tim asks: I'd like to switch in a photo prediction - would that be possible?

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:Yes it would!

  • Craig asks: What are the actual dimensions of the box?

    • 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds: 7.0 x 10.0 x 3.5

  • Brian asks: Can you load this easily during a performance? Say you wrote some things down during the performance, can you load it quickly before the switch?

    • 1. Alan responds:Loading should be pretty easy.
