    We've been dreaming. The Mystery Box.

    Then actually do it! I'm sure if T11 inspired a handful of people to give to a cause they believed in, they would say mission accomplished! The problem is most wont do what you just said. They are all talk. But if you like the product, you get both! If you don't like the product and don't want...

    We've been dreaming. The Mystery Box.

    For those who are having trouble understanding the value of a project like this, read my other post. This is not about you. It's bigger than you. If you like the cause but the deck or box isn't your thing, then by all means write a check. But take some action and do something rather than...

    We've been dreaming. The Mystery Box.

    I suppose you wouldn't know unless you opened the box. Reminds me slightly of Schrodingers cat....

    Playing cards pop up and down?

    Temperature will also affect the humidity. Right now it is -26C/-14.8 F here and super dry. Have you ever seen someone come in from the cold outside and watched their glasses fog up instantly? A deck of cards in your pants pocket in cold weather will do the same. I keep my decks away from my...

    We've been dreaming. The Mystery Box.

    This goes back to the history of when they started. It was the ultimate Cerca Trova hunt. Many of the clues were in binary, and this is a reference to that original epic mystery.

    We've been dreaming. The Mystery Box.

    I see what you mean about the lack of mystery/not opening the box. As for the let down, this should be an inspiration. It is not about you. It's not about me. This project (like charity water) is about how we look towards those who we can inspire. In fact isn't all of our art truly about that...

    Always glad to see companies giving back to a bigger cause.

    We've been dreaming. The Mystery Box.

    So a new deck of cards is one of the items in the box. But I wonder what the bigger box and envelope are about...

    We've been dreaming. The Mystery Box.

    Fair enough, but I doubt they made hundreds or thousands of boxes out of 100 year old reclaimed wood to sell magic tricks in. But I agree that it would be a treat!

    We've been dreaming. The Mystery Box.

    I don't think this is about people buying boxes as much as the items inside. Perhaps it represents the mystery of what's inside

    That last picture appears to be a paperweight, so I'm glad it's not what it seems. ;-p

    Why yes. Yes it does...

    We've been dreaming. The Mystery Box.

    That's what I said earlier too. Sort of a trick of the month type thing. Like Real Secrets was supposed to be, but with good magic instead of junk.

    Just A Thought

    The idea had been brought up before, but I believe that the consensus was to remain a focused magic community. Good thought though.

    Impossible Bottle

    There are lots of places to learn a deck in bottle. Jamie's bottles are exquisite and flawless. No one is going to get that level by doing their own. Not to mention, they won't get the intact cellophane as well.

    Suitable tricks for children?

    I used to do a nice little flower production (I don't remember who gave me the idea!). I used little daises from the dollar store (the stem about as long as my pinky and the flower was about the size of my nail). I would do a simple silk vanish to a TT and sleight a flower into the fist. It was...
