A $10.00 or $100.00 bill is put in the treasure box (it can be replaced with any other valuable item such as a ring or gold coin, etc.). The magician gives the treasure box to a spectator and asks him to try to remove the precious item from the box. After failing to open the treasure box and having made every effort to do so, the spectator gives the box back to the magician, who only after a few seconds, opens the box and removes the item and shows it to the audience. The trick can also be done in a comical way by asking a spectator to give him a dollar, which he places in the box. He hands the box to the spectator, telling him that he has three minutes to get the dollar out without breaking the box. It is explained that if this can't be done in three minutes the dollar goes to a designated child in the audience or the magi himself if you think you can get away with that. The box measures 3" x 2" x about 1 1/2" high. It is entirely made of clear Lucite plastic. It is modeled after wooden boxes, which cost much more. We know that you will enjoy this whether you perform it as a stand-up, close-up, magician or clown.
