    This effect originally called Bloxo, was invented by John Rice and sold by Harry Stanley c. 1960.  Eddy Taytelbaum created an exquisite version c. 1968 which many of the modern day versions emulate because they use a rod instead of a ribbon to secure the blocks.

    This was my third Alan Warner effect when I was a teenager and really what began my love affair with beautiful and clever magic props. As a teenager I used to perform this all the time. 

    There is no reset and everything can be examined and yet you are able to amaze them with magic in their very own hands.  You should see the look on their faces when they lift the miniature pagoda up and out drop their two freely chosen blocks and yet the metal spike is still securely held in their fingers.
