"Boom Box" is a switching device that hides in plain sight and allows you to switch cards, business cards, billets, and even coins in plain sight. Plus, it comes with ten routines from Craig Petty.
Boom Box is built into what appears to be an ordinary Bicycle Rider Back card box. This mechanical switching device is as easy to use as putting a deck of cards on the table. Each Boom Box is manufactured in the United States by a magician and ready to go right out of the box.
In addition to the precision-made gimmick, you’ll also receive an in-depth tutorial on how to use Boom Box, as well as ten fantastic routines from Craig Petty. Craig has hands-on this for months before anyone else and has been developing routines with transpositions, predictions, ink reforming itself on business cards, drawing duplications, and an ACAAN that might be the best one he’s ever created. Craig will also set your mind ablaze with new concepts and ideas that you’ll want to explore so you can add Boom Box to your existing routines.
I rarely, and I mean really rarely, give a product a "rave" review, but this is the coolest idea I've seen in a very long time. I buy a LOT of magic and seldomly see something that is so good as a "utility" that it will get your creative juices flowing immediately.At first I was a bit concerned about the tuck box and the duplicative sides, but after hundreds of performances, I have never once been called out.AND...if that's not enough, the tutorial video includes Craig Petty as an instructor/teacher. He is one of the most creative guys in magic and he doesn't disappoint here. His routines are crisp, visual and very smooth. Honestly, they could have released the box with a standard tutorial and then offered Craig's input on a DVD or download for an extra cost.Trust me, just watching the tutorial is riveting and if you choose only one or two of the routines Craig teaches to perform in your gig, you will get huge responses.'Nuff said!
Upon first inspection I thought that the construction was poor and wouldn't last a few goes around. Surprisingly it really does hold up well. Its functional and does what it's supposed to do. As its a card box you'll need to treat it as such.
It’s exactly what I expected it was. Very well made and a great switching device. Probably would have been much cheaper had the packaging not been so elaborate. LOL.
At first I had my doubts on the construction of the device/ gimmick. But after putting it to the test this thing is amazing and now has a place along side my other switching devices. The more I use it the more I love it.

Ben asks: This looks identical to Romero Box. Is there sufficient difference to warrant this as a separate release?
Roberto asks: I have similarly-functioning box from Mikael Chatelain. How is this different? Thank you?
Claire asks: When will this be sent out?
Matthew asks: is this available in a blue bicycle box?
Philip asks: How durable is this box expected to be?
Nate asks: Big question, I use a Carat EDC plastic sleeve/case on my tuck box so I can safely carry it around in my pocket. Will this work with that? Also, can it be used to hold extra cards to add in? Say for Chicago opener, or Juan Capilla’s 52-stunner? Basically to have some cards that I can quickly add on to a deck - currently I usually keep these cards in between the tuck box and the Carat sleeve (almost like keeping the cellophane on). Thanks!
Muhammad asks: Can this be done with any box/deck?
