One look at the magazine ad photos should answer your question: NO. Regards, Thomas Wayne MOST magicians: "Here's a quarter, it's gone, you're an idiot, it's back, you're a jerk, show's over."

While it looks like the answer to a illusionists dreams the flaw is that you have 7 or 8 box tricks in one unit. It combines a thin model base with several other well known box tricks as well as internal fog blowers. In the right context it could be useful but it still leaves you with a box ,nothing else. In all fairness I must say it's well built and the Asrah portion of the unit is very well thought out and enginerred. At it's current price of over $5000.00 I would make sure that the routines you have would fit the applications before you make the investment.

[...] It combines a thin model base with several other well known box tricks [...] Well I've only seen the magazine ads, but I have to assume the base you saw in New York was a different base than the one in the ad photos, because the one in the ad photos had NO business calling itself "deceptive" and it certainly wasn't thin. More importantly - presuming you could overcome the obvious base unit with a great presentation - a whole bunch of box tricks plus one levitation/vanish is hardly what I would call an illusion show... at least not a very GOOD illusion show.
