This is one of best effects that Paul Richards has ever created! The gimmick is based upon Michael Pizzolla’s Synchronicity III c. 1987.  Though the gimmick that Michael uses was originally invented by Richard Himber and released as Thought Control c. 1957.  Luckily, Paul revamps the gimmick and takes the routine into quite a different place and creates a very unique and entertaining routine.

It looks different, has many uses and the cards can be freely examined if you desire at the end. The selection process could not be cleaner and you can make up your own stories to suit your performance.

I found that taking real book covers and altering the titles to match the words worked very well for me and I heard some gasps in the audience on the final reveals – “no way!”

Although Okito almost certainly didn’t invent this type of production tube he did feature it in his act and Michael based his beautiful version on Okito’s versions featured in Dr. Albo’s books: The Oriental Magic of The Bambergs and The Ultimate Okito.

It makes for a wonderful production device because it can be used anytime during the act, is self-contained, easy to do and has a large load capacity.

This is an Haenchen Die Box made in Honduras Mahogany. It has a single door gimmick and a fairly unique feature that of: controllable sliding sound. This means you can control when the sound is made or not as you tip the box from side to side. I have not seen this feature on any other Die Box I’ve owned and really like it 🙂

The locking single door gimmick allows you to show a die on the box or not.  Haenchen produced boxes with no gimick, a single door gimmick (like this one), and a double door gimmick.

This is a nicely made box that will last for many years.  These are not as exotic as some of the Mel Babcock beauties, but still a fine prop.
