Hi! Sorry... these are not the plans for MY original magic boxes....
however, here are some easy to follow (i hope) plans to create your own magic box! this is NOT an original idea of mine, the concept has been around for ages, but they're easy to make and still fun for those who have not seen them! it's mainly for kids, as most adults figure it out rather quickly. for added fun, put a coin inside for kids to get a prize when they figure it out! needed: table saw 1x4 pine screws glue use the table saw to make 6 exact 4" squares. then tilt blade to 45* as shown below and 45 all 4 sides exact as well....

Then glue edges together with weighted clamps and wood glue for an hour.
then predrill and sink long screws (2") into the edges to strengthen the glue joints. people will tug and twist a lot on these. Click here to view attached image. |

When finished, stain/varnish/paint/decorate to taste.
if stained, be sure to seal it with clear coat before passing it around. your finished box should look similar to this. *enjoy* MS Click here to view attached image. |

A reader sent me this picture of her completed 'free plans' box.
I like how she changed it a bit. Feel free to post pics here if YOU decide to make one! Mickey Soumé Click here to view attached image. |
