so guys right here I'll show you
this is how you construct the box I will not go through this whole paper crane
moment I will just show you briefly how the gimmick works and how you build it
and what to be aware of so the first thing is you can see you have a box
I took a name file I shoved it in here whether glue is now ran it across a
couple of times I do this on both sides the box will this is the second box the
second box it works pretty well I guess you can use a normal box the normal
design should work as well you clean off if there's any paper left any paper
sticking out you clean yourself the next thing is you have to cut off your Spade
as you can see here you cut this Spade off in a very special way you do not you
do not this is very important you do not cut it straight you set your plate in an
angle inwards so you do not cut it straight you set it in words I'll show
this in words so the top of the blade always points towards the middle of the
Spade here here and here as well now
this is the border of your box so imagine this is this one is the border
of your box now you do not cut in a straight line you
cut in an angle like maybe 45 degrees
the result will be two interlocking pieces now this is the box and this is
your Spade these two pieces will interlock as you can see here this is
the box this is the Spade the Spade will interlock from inside the box you will
get a very smooth surface on the outside of the box the Spade will not fly out of
the other side it will not like dangle around it will not they will they will
no there will be no border here there will be no border scene it will very it
will fit very nicely ok if you if you're done put the Box aside next you have to
build a cover this cover this cover will go on top here as you can see you can
use well if if your if you want to use the exact same box color just use
another box I took a piece of another box of some some other box but it really
doesn't matter as long as it's basically the same stiffness you have to cut this
in a special way as well it's pretty easy you measure out maybe about maybe
about so the piece will end maybe about here you have to leave some room for the
magnet so maybe about here not too far down because otherwise the coin will not
slide in so just leave enough room for the magnet by the way the magnet goes
on top of this the the steel shim it will glue on here so you just have to
keep track just have to creep sure you just have to keep a very small area here
so my piece is for example this long this is enough good if you get this you
have to measure exactly from from one edge to the other so this is 6.5
centimeters you measure it as you can see here you measure it I hope you can
see this there is a little fold there is little bump but partly fold you have to
measure from the outside of the bumpy fold as well as here you have to measure
from the outside not from the inside but from the outside so you get a nice snug
fit so without without know there's s no room as you can see here and here there
will be no space that's not the case on the bottom because this piece have to
move freely so you have to cut the sides that go straight down you have to cut
them in an angle very very lightly I'll show you this here this is the piece
this is the piece here okay you have to cut from top to the bottom so from top
to the bottom in a ving a very very this is way exaggerated this red marking here
fair fraction of a millimeter very very little 1 millimeter is Jesus I guess
it's too much half a meter half a millimeter maybe you have to cut this in
an angle you have an exacto knife ruler put in
ruler exactly knife and you're done so people able to move freely so it will
not get stuck on the sides this is the paperwork now you have to assemble all
the part or by the way you have to get some magnets but I will show you this in
a second a quick but important note about the Spade do not forget to color
in the edges that you've cut out in all the angled edges there will be white so
you have to use a very fine tipped pen this for example assists the beetle
point 88 it has a very fine tip so you can color in the edges very precisely
without leaking the ink on top of the Spade if you've got a red Spade of
course use a red pen but a violet use a violet pen and so on according to the
box that were using
the next step is you will add a piece of small a piece of thin shim I took a
razor blade you will take this piece of razor blade here just below the Spade
you also need a magnet little teeny tiny magnet as you can see here my other
prototypes did have no magnet at all it worked pretty very well the the flap
will shut pretty neat but just to be sure so you can handle the Box freely
you can add a magnet it does not have to be very strong because it just have to
hold the flap in place if you do not use the box but it has to be weak enough so
the flap will open easily good no you take your cover paper and I will read so
because the magnet will end up on top here as you can see I will use a piece
of paper to cover all this up so the magnet will be covered and will
basically be the inside because this is a little bit more yellowish than the
inside I will cover this up I will glue it on but I will leave maybe maybe this
this wood I will glue it on all the way here but I will not glue it on to the
bottom because I have to add the magnet later on so I will shove the magnet
basically I will I will shove the magnet under this piece and then I will move it
shot if this is done
you will let a piece of double-sided tape the double-sided tape has to be at
least the width of this Halfmoon so it goes just below the Halfmoon so there
will be glue everywhere so this other half will not come off I
could have done this a little little wider actually but I think there should
be okay now you have your magnet you have your white piece on here you add
this piece you line it with the top and the sides and glue it shut
so next step is you peel off your piece of paper you will add the magnet here as
you can see it will apply glue with a glue stick and press this shot as you
can see the Spade is not added yet I will add this Spade just at the end
basically the next step is to add the Spade and we are going to do this now
now it's time to assemble all the pieces I'm not going to do this in front of the
camera because it has to be very precise I'll show you what to do first
take your piece you laid with a glue so with a double side double sticky side
down and you align it as best as you can on top and on the sides get some masking
tape put some masking tape here so this piece will stay in place now you are
going to trace the Spade shape onto your glued in piece with a pencil to not use
biro do not use felt pen or something because the ink will bleed onto the case
you do not want this to happen trace the shape around so we end up with basically
like something like this this is a rough outline I have to duplicate I have to do
it again but just so you get the idea because you will apply glue into the
shape just into the shape not on the outside because otherwise this piece
would stick to the case you do not want this to happen you want to glue your
Spade onto this piece
first well you tape the flap on to the box as you would do anyways so you align
it perfectly on this edges and left and right
get some masking tape and apply the masking tapes you can see here and here
so you get a flap trace around the Spade and lay on the cutouts page so it is
flush with the edges get some more masking tape little pieces of masking
tape and apply them left right and center so the Spade will stay in place
so now you can apply as you would do anyways you can apply glue onto your
trace now it's made and well I guess you could add glue you can try it out if you
want I'm using double sided tape I guess that should work as well anyway since
you've got this hinge here it's a simple matter of just flipping the piece over
pressing it down and you're done so you do not have to align the piece once
again then you've got your the well of course shove in your magnet here on the
bottom glue this down assemble a box and you are done
you may be thinking now well I'm so smart I'm gonna reinforce the edges with
some scotch tape well do not do this here's the reason why if you apply
another layer of tape this piece because you've cut it in an angle this piece
will not fit perfectly anymore there will be it's it's a slight it's a
slight step of course on the outside but there will be a slight step you will
recognize this there will be a little shadow you shouldn't you shouldn't
really be worried because I the spectator will not see it but well if
you're building this case try to be perfect so why mess things up so do not
apply any tape on the edges
and when you're done reassemble a box so put a little piece of glue here on the
side the small flap goes on top and then the big printed piece goes on top of
everything press it press it firmly down press press with your fingers you can
use a knife or like a pencil to press onto the box so everything gets moving
well and you do the same thing on the other side the glue flap flap
press press and you're done this is your final box
now here's how the box actually works or the technique the basic basic throwing
technique this is the basic throwing technique pretty easy you have to yeah
throw the coin onto the state note that there are a few points that you have to
keep in mind do not throw the coin vertically horizontally sorry
horizontally because there is no space for the coin to get in it will just
bounce off do not throw the coin in an angle because otherwise it would also
just bounce off this about this is the right distance from coin to box this is
absolutely ridiculous because you have no control over where you hit the Spade
this is a little bit too obvious if you do this Specter I know you do something
sneaky so this would be the right angle you throw the coin like it like a
basketball in like a basketball so it's a little arc that you throw the coin in
the coin has to hit the Spade in anything like in a 45 degree angle
because when you throw the coin you throw the coin not not in the 45 degree
angle it's unnecessary you can you can vary like from here to here just do not
throw the coin vertically you can you can throw the coin actually vertically
but it has eight blocks in an angle so you can vary you can test out different
angles if you want yeah the coin has to hit the Spade in an angle because the
coin if you if if you throw it the coin gets propelled through the box it would
fly through the box so this this is the same angle of the coin of the Spade and
even if it gets if it if it would propel through the box it would fly through box
now it has a natural tendency to slide down and it slides down easily
whereas this is absolutely nonsense this wouldn't work another thing you have to
consider is you have to be careful where you throw the coin because if you hit at
a wrong angle like maybe this or this
these two wings here you know these two white wings will get warped by the time
so it will not have this sim with a look from the outside anymore
now as you here you can use the box as a whole lot
so the cards would be inside can carry this around pay it onto the table and
anytime you want like you want to switch in a paper just grab this and you are
ready to switch in get into your mental routine like for example simply pellets
which so the basics behind this is you can show your hands really empty and
retrieve the paper play around with the study
another idea for box is you can tear off the concern of
the corner of a playing card or business card you can have it signed when you
ship any anywhere you like and of course you keep it hidden in your
hand and you love this piece you load it into the flap so this gets loaded so now
you can show your hands very empty do some misdirection you can find the
spectators card with a ripped off corner now all you have to do you can show the
box of course beforehand empty you can even show it in this condition empty if
you just lay down the fun open it you know open the box you can do this so the
piece gets in from you you can do this just show the box empty close it and all
you have to do to produce this little paper is this goes for every variation
whatever you tuck in here into this flap press very lightly on top of the Spade
so the flap will open end the piece will slide in and you got your piece produced
so you can use this box as a production box as well either with a piece that you
know you will produce or with a piece that or with air anything like a piece
of paper that the spectators unaware of so you show the Box empty you do not
tell in something to appear in this box show the Box empty load this piece or
already have it tucked in and produce the paper
you can to a mental routine if you get a nail
writer a boom writer keep the piece of paper behind you can have it tucked in
and at the appropriate moment slide it out but the piece of paper has to be
bigger because it has to stick like for example this one it has to be a bit
bigger because you have to slide it out and slide it on the bottom of the box or
on top where ever you wanna ride with your boom so you have the piece of paper
the spectator has to name let let him name any number between like one and a
hundred or a car value like four of clubs you write it down with a boon you
slide it back and the production is the same as in the other version so this
would be you write the value or the number the piece start in you can show
your hands empty press down and show your prediction prediction paper piece
of paper
this could also be a piece of flesh paper so if you want to produce a card
take out a card the flesh paper gets along with the right and from here you
can I don't know do it do anything you want burn the piece of paper I don't
know this is just an idea that just came into my mind so this is another
variation you can have a piece of paper like there's paper or anything else
waiting to get along with a card or a miniature card for example or whatever
