MENTAL NUMERO
The performer displays a beautiful wood box along with ten wooden blocks, and numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 & 0. While the performer’s back is turned, a spectator is invited to select four blocks and then place them inside the box in any order and close the lid. The performer now turns around, holds the box in full view and announces the exact four digit number selected!
The effect is completely self-contained and nothing is added or taken away!
There is absolutely no force of any kind and the effect can be immediately repeated with a different outcome!
The method is absolutely ingenious and everything can be casually examined by the spectator!
The box measures approximately 12.5cms wide, 5.2cms high and 5.8cms deep and has been completely handcrafted from natural aged teak wood with a lightly distressed oil finish and slightly tarnished brass hardware. Each of the numbered blocks are approximately 2.4cms wide, 0.8cms high and 3cms deep and come complete with a custom designed display tray.

I must say that it looks interesting... Even 10 numbers to choose from...
Looks pretty slick, I like the number design...

I suspect the number design is critical to the working. Haven't had much time to think it over, but potentially a partial p***k with the bottom of the numbers?

I really like the looks of this one (as always with Magic Wagon). The font MW used on the numbers is a non issue to me. The reason I'm passing is budget (sigh) and the fact I already own tricks that more or less do the same, although the choice between 10 numbers does make this one pretty unique.

I ordered a copy despite being not that fond of mentalism tricks. On the other hand, I like the look of this prop and the fact that the spectator can choose between ten numbers. Furthermore I think that the bold type font of the numbers could add to the story: you could tell that the numbers look so special because they are a mixture of figures and a kind of ESP symbols which facilitates reading the mind of the spectator
And then I am curious about the method...

Ralf, you have made a good decision and you will not be disappointed
This little magic box is very well crafted and cleverly constructed

I think it is safe to say Olaf likes his magic box.
Nice to see it in action sometime.

It's sold out...seems to be more successful than their previous product.
