    Description:

    "MY THOUGHTS: Ray’s original DVD called The Impossible Box was well received in the magic community when it was released a few years back. Since then Ray has been diligently working on taking the concept steps further, and created a very practical and well structured no-gimmick chop cup style routine using a box. I had the pleasure of seeing Ray perform this, along with other magicians, and nobody knew the method. The reason we didn’t know the method was because it had never been done before. It is all in the way Ray constructs the box that turns it in to an instant chop cup, and everything is examinable or can actually be given to the spectator as a souvenir. This book is available as an e-book or hard copy. Both have colored photos showing all the necessary steps and moves.You don’t need the original DVD to learn how to make the box as there are step by step photos in the book. If you’ve ever wondered what to do with your left over playing cards this could very well be the thing to make. Once you have mastered making the actual box, you can put it together in seconds making it a good restaurant routine or walk-about. The loads are such that it is pretty practical and the appearance of the eggs is extremely clever. The actual appearance of the lemon and eggs at the end is a real surprise and Ray has worked out how to load them at times in the routine when there is no heat on your or the box. He has spent the better part of the past few years working out every aspect of the routine and with the help of his magic friends has constructed a practical routine for the working magician. Without giving the method away I would say that the actual chop cup method is brand new and deviously clever. I know when I saw it nobody has any idea how it worked, especially when he just gave us the box. This is what makes this routine so unique. I love the fact you can use the box as a give away. You can easily adapt this to other productions if you wanted to produce chocolates, candy or even a glass of liquid. As Ray himself says in the book, “It is not for the feint of heart. It will take diligence and many hours of practice to attain proficiency. “ If you like to spend some time working on an effect that not everybody is going to do, this would be a great choice. Once mastered you will have something very unique and I’m sure add to your regular working repertoire. There is so much you can do with this presentation wise. Ray has even had cards made up so when the box is made it looks like a large die.

    Really "Outside of the Box!"

    Roch's thinking is really "Outside of the Box" when it comes to something so innocent as a little origami box built in front of you in a matter of seconds out of just six playing cards.

    Ray teaches how to quickly build, and gives away his in depth secrets, which turns his Impossible Box into a diabolical magical device for producing, vanishing and switching. The moves which Ray showed us could have only be honed through years of performance, but Ray is able to teach us the artifice which makes the Impossible possible to master, and completely adaptable to one's own routine and patter. Not only does Roch give you a very magical and entertaining routine which even fools magicians, but he also gives you the ability to easily create an instant cost-nothing working prop anytime for yourself or a unique souvenir for your volunteer which that person will value and keep forever.

    About the author:
    Long time Magician, Ray Roch is the originator of a DVD called "The Impossible Box", a chronicle showing how to build and load an origami card box utilizing 6 playing cards. There are multiple methods of loading items shown during its construction, including a bonus effect where the completed box mysteriously moves and levitates. These effects, along with a routine where a chosen card is found folded in a box are all included in "The Impossible Box". However since the DVD was made, Ray made significant improvements to his original concept and reveals them in his "No Gimmick" Chop-Box book.
