Gravity Box
Hocus Pocus
(Based on 2 reviews)
The spectators are now instructed to try to lift the box. They can't! The spectator strains and sweats but is unable to budge the box! How is this possible? After all, you aren't standing on any false floors or using any superconductor magnets or even using a stooge! It must either be hypnosis or... magic! The box is opened the silk is removed and guess what -- the chest is now lifted easily!
This version of the Light & Heavy Chest is new and improved, made of polished black walnut and manufactured by master craftsman Doug Malloy exclusively for Hocus Pocus! It's furniture quality is only enhanced by gleaming brass hardware, a beautifully finished interior, and a heavy duty gimmick that would require the Incredible Hulk to lift the box! The box can be shown freely, at all angles, before being set down. The simple act of either reaching in for an object or pulling out an object sets the gimmick in a second; it's always ready!
No electricity, wires, magnets or magnetic concepts of any kind, electronics, and nothing is attached to you at all! There are no trays, false floors, or heavy tables used. The gravity Box is entirely self-contained and features a brand new and ingenious principle! Its simplicity in operation is incredibly effective, and you will marvel at the method itself once you lay eyes upon it! Not only is it a gorgeous piece of art, it will rapidly become the highlight of your shows whether you perform serious mind-control or stand-up comedy or even children's shows! It's the perfect prop at the perfect price!

I bought the Gravity Box in spite of the high price. It is beautiful but the mechanism limits its use to very few surfaces. From a glass table you can't get it off even when it has once more become light, and on a normal table it does not get heavy for more than a few moments. Worse, at least the one I have got can be lifted 1/4 of an inch even when it is supposedly heavy. Maybe I have got a substand unit, but at the price there should not be any substandard units.

Although slightly over priced it is a beautifully made, limited edition effect!
The effect is 'The Light & Heavy chest' but the principle is completely different than others!
The down side to this trick apart from the price is you although you can perform it at most places there will be times where you can't! It has nothing to do with angles or lightling but certain conditions.
The gimmick is easy and quick to operate. It takes only a second or two to do it.
This may not go down as the worlds most bafferling trick but it is one of the funniest tricks if done well.
I have to say I love this trick and I'm glad that I spent the money on it!
