Andy Martin –
This wonderful and quite rare effect was created by Fred Haenchen. The first release (c. 1932) used a pedestal and a tube and this improved version (c. 1945) used a clever wine cabinet and the name changed in the adverts to the Sliding Wine Box (though the instructions continued to call it “The Wine Box” and added “Improved Model”).
From an effect perspective it has similarities to the Classic Die Box, however the method is quite different and unique.
It is easy enough to perform, unfortunately my fingers are apparently quite fat and I found doing the most important move almost impossible to do seamlessly. This means it is unlikely I’ll be able to do a Speed Demo, which is very disappointing as I love it when I feature these cool items that you will never see elsewhere. I will try, but think it unlikely at this point 🙁
I think for someone with normal sized fingers it will be quite easy to do and you’ll have a wonderful effect that you are unlikely to see elsewhere.
