In 1911, Okito was in partnership with Joe Klein in a magic shop on Broadway, New York. Joe suffered from indigestion and kept his boxes of pills in a drawer in the shop. Okito often handled the pill boxes and noticed that the lid would fit on both bottom and top and in each case, the box looked the same. He had some made up in metal instead of cardboard, of such a size as to take coins and so the "Okito Coin Box" was born. Since they were first marketed by the Bamberg Magic and Novelty Company, dealers all over the world have manufactured and sold these boxes. Different ideas have been incorporated,...

What a lovely, simple, but hugely effective coin routine this is. Although an Okito Box is used, none of the regular Okito Box moves are employed .... there are virtually NO SLEIGHTS involved in this effect! Lewis also gives credit to BOB SWADLING for his subtle idea which is incorporated and which makes the effect possible .... and what an effect! A close-up masterpiece!

A small piece of plastic the size of a playing-card is shown and placed across the mouth of a tumbler. A 2p piece (or USA 5 cent piece) is placed on top of the plastic and covered by the lid of a small brass box. On tapping...

Michael Gallo has developed some of the most memorable coin and close-up routines available. This download video proves it. This is mind-melting close-up, performed before an impromptu audience then taught by Mike Gallo in detail.

First up is Presto Change-o Mike-o. This is Mike's handling of Thomas H. Bearden's Presto Chango from Bobo's Modern Coin Magic, with superb Gallo additions.

Sherlock Mike's "Case of the Mysterious Penetration": This routine uses three silver coins, a card box, and a glass. Mike places the card box on top of the glass, proceeds to place a coin into one hand, which then penetrates through...
