Frame of destruction

My take on the frame of destruction,made from card and wooden tapers,just need to make the envelope :D

This looks really cool Pete, I made my own clear surprise last year, you'd be hard pushed to tell the difference actually. Ever thought of making videos of your tricks?

I see, how's the dexterity in your hands? Clear surprise is a good one have you seen it? It'll be a fun Sunday project. Stage one work it out. Stage two make the sucker ;)
If you ever invent something cool but aren't comfortable videoing it you can always post it over to essex and ill film it for you then post it back

Ooh if you don't have billscape I'd snap up one of robs versions, it works just the same and it's really well made, plus it all comes in a handy box. I was really pleased with mine 0. It's only $25 too which is a steal compared to what billscape is going for. It's a great trick

Looks beautifull Pete, even better than the original :) One suggestion is maybe make it a litle bit more narrow so the bill just fits in, that would enhance the illusion.

Very nicely made Pete, I just happened to watch Roberto's video of Frame of Destruction yesterday and wondered how it worked, and now I see you can make one yourself! :)

That's clever of you to find out how Frame of destruction works, I know that somehow the bill slips out partly but I just wonder how it comes back neatly into the frame? But must admit my mind is a bit lazy today, Lazy Sunday! :)

I found as you tip the whole thing up a slight bit of pressure on the bill and the frame will just slide down,just have to get the length of the envelope right mine is about 230mm depends on the bill used :D

That looks very professional Pete, it's more beautifull then the Tenyo version in my opinion. I suppose what you show is the part that goes into the envelope?

I don't own FOD but am I right in thinking it has a bit in common with billscape?

It is made from 300gsm card and craft matchsticks,i made up a paper envelope for it but a felt one would be better,the FOD would be better in acrylic bit more weight to it,but dont have the tools,could be made in wood with some cut outs to show the bill :D
