Circus Match Boxes

AKA The Acrobatic Matchbox

When the first matchbox is pushed inside its cover, the second drawer pops out of the other matchbox. The drawers magically pop in and out even when the two boxes are separated by a card in between.

Basic Effect: Two separate match boxes are shown. When the first drawer is pushed inside its cover, the second drawer pops out of the other cover. The drawers magically pop in and out even when the two boxes are separated by a card in between. One goes in, the other jumps out!  Repeat as often as you like. Then place the boxes side by side, and repeat the same effect. You could even place one box at right angles to the other, and they still behave in their uncanny manner.

The Acrobatic Matchbox is an old effect, but this model from Wonder, with specially made plastic matchboxes makes for a long lasting prop, easier in working than models made from regular board matchboxes.

​Skill Level: Intermediate. Suitable for ages 17 to adult.
