Display a cube, a transparent box, an empty cup and a handkerchief to your audience. Have a spectator reach under the handkerchief, place the cube into the box, and place the box on top of the cup. Upon removing the handkerchief, the cube has disappeared! It has magically materialized inside of the cup.
There are no words to describe the shock your audience will feel when the cube that they placed into the box themselves has disappeared! This is truly tangible magic, since your audience can feel the cube up until the last moment. The reappearance of the cube under the cup is extremely unexpected, since they had carefully examined the cup as well. A real double whammy for your audience!

MYSTERY CHINA BOX
T-201
There is a hole on top of the black box. You drop balls through this hole, and display that they always fall into the large tube. Have your spectator select one of the balls. You close the lid, and drop the balls into the case in any order. When you open the lid, only the selected ball has jumped into the short tube!
This trick requires no practice. Whatever happens in the dark interior of this box is truly a mystery. This is precision-made apparatus that can be demonstrated over and over again. Before learning the secret, try to figure it out on your own. Good luck!

PRISON BOX
T-202
Allow your spectator to completely examine a case that is divided into three rooms, and have him screw three metal nuts and bolts into the case. Your spectator locks his own finger ring onto one of the end bolts. A transparent cover is slid onto the case so that the ring is impossible to remove. However, when you cover the box briefly with a handkerchief, the ring has magically jumped onto the middle bolt.
This trick requires no practice. There are three rooms inside of the case, and the ring is really locked into one room by a metal bolt. Despite these impossible conditions, the ring instantaneously jumps into the middle room. Even after examining the props, there is absolutely no way for your spectator to figure out this diabolical secret.
SALT CUPS
T-200
Show two cups to be empty. Suddenly, one cup becomes full of salt. You display the salt by pouring it from cup to cup. All of the salt vanishes without a trace, and changes into a white silk handkerchief.
Real salt magically appears from an empty cup. The salt then vanishes completely and transforms into a bright white handkerchief, making this the perfect trick to perform at a party or for large groups.
