Prime Box

Michael asks: Can it be done surrounded as part of a street show or trade show act?

• 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:Yes this can be performed surrounded

Eoin asks: What size is the chamber on each of the three sizes? How big are the items you can make appear?

• 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:small: 8in x 7in x 4.7in | large: 11.8in x 7.9in x 5.9in | super big: 13.8in x 9.8in x 9.8in

Erica asks: How big is the small size?

• 1. Don responds:Considering the raised flaps.I cannot mention other dealers,but the nesting coke cans ,also appearing teddy bear which self inflates could really blow the minds of every one.Even magicians.Sponge cupcakes or donuts which I believe this store carries.Fill the table full.Put stuff in a basket to take to the car after the show so people assume it doesn't collapse.
• 2. Don responds:Okay.Load size.I can't explain the methods.But say the small box is about 8 inches square and slightly over 4 inches tall.Believe it or not,the "gimmick" is just a 1 inch below the top but the flaps are cut differently than any other box.So you could lay coke cans inside and produce a 6 pack.But if you want to hand the box out,you must produce one more small flat item.The gimmick is removed in front of every one.You may want to empty the cans except one or it will be too heavy.Or use multiplying cans.That gives more load space.Multipling melons are thick and will push up the gimmick so they should be rolled up and maybe an empty fruit cocktail can could hold it closed.Avoid large nesting items like multiplying bottles.Too common and hard to separate horizontal.Load size is basically size of box minus 1 or 1 1/2 inch when laid on size.

Bruce asks: How quick is the reset for the Prime Box?

• 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:The reset is quite quick however you wouldn’t be able to do this in sight of anybody

Patrick asks: Presumably it's just normal cardboard in terms of materials. Can anyone comment on how durable it is over multiple uses (especially if re-packing flat during transport). I'm a bit worried that after a few uses it'll look like the delivery driver threw it over the fence.

• 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:While it is made of cardboard, the box will last a while. It is recommended to keep it in a bag or case when not in use and to never use any dirty or wet items in the chamber. But with these things in mind, your box will last you hundreds of performances.

Treven asks: Once we see and purchase the effect, is this something easily made at home with our own supplies?

• 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:You are supplied with everything you need.

John asks: How easy is this to tear down for travel? (Thinking of the Amaze Kraft Box)…

• 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:Once set up with tape it will be like a normal box to pack down

Jeffrey asks: How examinable is the box after?

• 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:It’s okay to have a look inside but I wouldn’t hand this out

Jorge asks: I would like to use this effect in a talk or conference about books and literature (and of course making some books to appear). Would it work in that way? ¿is it possible to make appear several books?

• 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:Depending on the size of the books, you could probably make 2-3 books appear.

Marlin asks: Does Prime Box have some of the same types of angle issue problems as props like Tip-Over boxes? I work in settings where I commonly have people at very wide angles, (often about 180 degrees) and as close as 4 or 5 feet in front of me. Promo videos of items like this always show the effect only from perfectly straight-on/perfect viewing condition. I love the effect, but if this shares similar issues as Tip Over boxes, it would be unusable for me. Thanks!

• 1. Marlin responds:Never mind! As soon as I posted question, a similar previous question popped up which had not shown before when I looked. Unfortunately, there is no option to delete question once posted.
