AmazeBox Kraft (Gimmick and Online Instructions) by Mark Shortland and Vanishing Inc./theory11 - Trick

Let a spectator open a plain-looking cardboard box and choose a folded paper at random, even after the audience has filled it while you stay away. AmazeBox Kraft by Mark Shortland, from Vanishing Inc. and theory11, brings this stage and parlor routine to life with a box made to look like regular cardboard.

Invite guests to write down thoughts, ideas, or questions and drop them into the box. For a show, that could mean collecting favorite films during intermission, then having a spectator retrieve a paper onstage.

Key Features

• Switches up to 200 papers: Replace small, folded audience papers with your pre-written papers in less than a second, without touching the box.
• Spectator-openable design: A spectator can open the box and take out a paper at random.
• Kraft-cardboard appearance: Thick brown Kraft card gives the box the look of an ordinary cardboard container.
• Travel-friendly build: Stronger card packs flat and is designed to resist buckling or damage during travel.
• Quick setup: The magnetic locking system and metal reinforcements are installed; assembly takes four seconds.
• Gimmick and online instructions: Learn how to use the box and explore routines in the instructional video.

It packs smaller than previous models and comes with a carrying envelope printed on an old-style press. Add it to a parlor or stage set when you want audience-written choices to become the focus of a direct, participatory moment.
