The performer displays some unique and unusual brass boxes. Each is adorned with a colored stone on the lid.
The performer asks for the loan of a dollar bill. He turns his back and tosses the balled up bill over his head. The person catching the bill is asked to select one of the boxes and without saying a word, he places the bill into the selected box, sealing it. The three boxes are now moved about on the table. The performer turns around and removes a small genuine crystal from his pocket. He holds this over the boxes and then announces the box which contains the bill...He is right on the money! Now, he seems to get an impression and asks the spectator to jot down some numbers... they seems to be the serial number of a bill. The spectator opens the brass box and removes the bill. He verifies that the serial number is correct and the bill is returned to it's owner. All this is accomplished without the aid of secret peeks, confederates and no questions are asked by the performer. Now listen to this: You can name the selected box BEFORE your turn around. This is diabolical and will be in your Magic arsenal the moment you receive it. Three boxes make this everso more difficult to detect the secret. Finest quality as can only be produced by Viking Mfg. Co.
