Need Help - What To Produce From A Compact Mirror Box

[JODO]

Hi all, I am looking for some help as to what I can produce from a compact mirror box for kids shows. I have had this box for a while now but am stumped. Any suggestions please.

Thank you

How compact is it. I have seen them as small as 2 1/2 in.
A silk would fit. To make it interesting vanish the silk using another prop, maybe a dye box, a little earlier. There could even be another trick in between. Sort of a lost and found thing.

My first inclination would be a spring snake.

Sponge balls - you could probably squeeze two or three in there.

The key is the size. Just how compact is it Jodo?

I just had a thought for a hobo version of a mirror box.
*** Take the mirror out before you perform.***
Show the box is empty as you start the performance. Flip the box around and set it on the table so one lip is on top facing the audience and the other is facing you. Open both doors and reach into and through the box and grab something from the back of the table. Then reach in again and grab something else. Make sure the kids catch you. (((You could just add a third door to a regular mirror box and after they catch you still produce something even though you had a child hold the box that time.)))

The compact mirror box is about 8" x8" round about anyway. I like the idea of hiding sponge balls and stuff but I wanted something that could lead into another trick or maybe run into a gag.

That's a really funny idea Fitz, I like it. Someone should do that at moosecamp for Hobo Night.

Jodo, you could produce a long silk streamer out of it, or a couple of mouth coils, or if you have a small furry animal (a small rabbit, or a hamster) or a stuffed animal. Really, you can produce anything that will fit inside of the top compartment.
