Best production boxes?
So guys,here is the story:
I want to add to my "show" an amazing ending trick.
I think that one of the most buffling tricks is a rabbit or dove production. ( Name others if you like... )
So,do you own a box?Which production box do you think is the best for parlor performance ( like in a birthday party etc ) ? Is sleight of hand technique required?
Help is gratefully appreciated.

Give this place a try. If nothing else, it will give you ideas. If you click on the descriptions, it will tell you the effect.
This magic shop is located about sixteen miles from my home and is one of the most famous in the world of magic.
Good Luck,

So you suggest to build one on my own,don't you?
As I have said before, I can't afford to have one shipped from a USA magic shop due to imprort taxes.
You are a lucky guy having a good magic supplier near you.
Thanks for the ideas!

Klenanthis, it's been a while, but I used to get magic magazines like "Magic" (love that creativity) and Genii. They would often have plans for building tricks. Try looking into something like that.

Really depends on your style of magic....
They range from simple screened boxes (sometimes with decoration - I like the "Circus Wagon" Production box) - to the flamboyent with sparks and flames and gadgets... Look to spend a couple hundred bucks on something with flare... around ninety for something like the Circus Wagon that looks nice...
If you're just looking for a simple dove production, have you considered a Dove Bag? An ok effect, and it will save you around $80...

If I could, I would build you one and send it to Greece. However, I can't at this time. however, I am looking fo plans and when I find one, I will send it.

I have the crystal cylinder. just to give you an idea, I have the 4 sided sucker prop and if I know it's ok to give out candy I preload my cylinder with suckers
I show the differents suckers I have in my bag one at a time, and on the last one I keep that one for me and give the bag to one kid to pass out [of course it's emply]
then I use 3 colored silks to match my suckers and have them put them in my cylinder, then I produce suckers to give out, at the end, I do this mainly for group functions like a small church class etc.

The lollipop trick is a cheap way to make productions. You can buy the trick at just about any magic shop for a few bucks - shows you how to turn a paper bag into a production bag that produces lollipops. Good kids magic with a small price tag...

Thank you all for your great ideas!
Personally I like most the circus wagon but I don't think I afford buying it.
Maybe ,I ll try to make one on my own.
