Robert Gunther Dice Box by Mel Babcock: Not your regular Die Box: Special order signed by Mel: both dice appear and vanish!

Effect: A box with two doors hinging outward is shown.  The doors are opened to reveal a PAIR of large dice. One of the dice is removed and placed in a hat.  Now the performer states that the die in the hat has returned to the box. He opens first one door and then another revealing a die in each compartment.  The audience begins shouting to open both doors. When the magician does the box is shown to be empty. Going to the hat he removes TWO dice.  It is more logical to have two dice at the start and a better effect is obtained at the finish when the second die is also revealed in the hat.

Mel made a “few of these over the years” via special order. He signed the box itself and also the letter accompanying it.  When Mel signed the item it was usually special order.

This one is gorgeous with beautiful inlay and exotic woods.  It is8x4.75×4 inches with 3 inch dice.  Only one we have listed.  It is new removed from the packing box to photograph.
