Andy Martin –
What a amazing idea from the talented German Craftsman and Inventor!
This is the rare original box invented by Herbert Martin Paufler c. 1977 and subsequently published as the article “Die Augen links – die Augen rechts” (Zauberkunst, February, 1980). Paufler’s box is finished in natural wood and the unique idea is very clever. The routine supplied in the original article is fairly brief, but the genius in this item is the method, not the published routine. Once you have the box you could create quite a few routines – the principle is very flexible.
This box was re-released by Eckhard Boettcher c. 1993 and manufactured by Uli Kigele as Diabolus-Kassette with more routines and a very distinctive black and red look. But the method was exactly the same.
I am just scratching the surface of what this box can do. It is a utility box that permits two specific events. But with some thought you can do even more. The reset is quick and you can show the box cleanly. You can make things appear, vanish or change and there are no flaps to deal with.
