Split Die Box
Get 450 VI Points for this purchase.
A classic of children's magic. Super easy to perform.
The performer introduces an empty hat and then places a solid die inside. They then display an empty double compartment box featuring cut out windows on front with loose sliding shutters and hinged doors at top (actually there are two boxes side by side on a common base).
The die is taken from the hat and placed in one of the boxes and the doors are closed. The audience is asked to remember where the die is. The set of boxes is tilted, and the front and top doors to that box are opened. The die is seen to have vanished. The audience is not impressed, because they have heard the die slide to the opposite box. They ask the magician to open the doors to the other box. The magician closes the door to the first box then tilts the box (the audience can hear the die sliding over), then opens the doors to the adjacent box to show that it is empty.
This business of sliding die from one compartment to the other is repeated, till the audience is howling for all the doors of both boxes to be opened. The performer then takes one closed box from the base and places at a distance. Shows that the die is in that box by opening the front door. He makes a throwing motion and instantly shows that the die has vanished. He opens the other box and the die is there.
He repeats the move for a few times. Finally, the Magician opens all doors of both boxes, and proves the die has in fact vanished.
The solid die is then found in the hat.
Great product and a great price! Much better than the conventional die box routines. The split die box takes the trick to a new level.Advice: Please treat product with care as the tops of the individual boxes are quite vulnerable to damage. So always carry product in a box. Never just throw into a bag as the boxes may get easily damaged. However I love the product and offers great value for money. I have two !
looks good from a distance but if you look at it closely you'll see small chips that was taken out of the wood when it went through the saw but for the price compared to others I've looked at, I like it even though it was broken when I got it but a simple repair with some glue and a clamp ready to go now. Glad I got it .

Mark asks: The price is half the price of other split die box's is this because the size is smaller?
Mark asks: There has been an issue with bubbles on the paint covering the box. Was this just an isolated problem or was this a quality issue with the product. Is this still and issue or do these products have a good appearance on their paint job.
Christopher asks: What are dimensions of this item?
David asks: I think in the question above when Christopher asked : "What are the dimensions?" he probably did not mean what are the dimensions of the packaging , but rather what are the dimensions of the die (for example, is it 2" x 2" x 2" or 3" x 3" x 3" or 4" x 4" x 4") and what are the dimensions of the box length x height x width . I have the same question. What are the dimensions of the die and the box ?
