While The effect is dramatic you may "spice it up" with comedy jokes used for the head chopper as well as: "This is the new cure for Carpel Tunnel Syndrome." "I think I lost a quarter in there, can you reach inside and feel around?" "This is a test of nerves and bravery, If you have the nerve to put your hand inside I guess I have the bravery to put all these blades through it!"

"I got this on a 5 finger discount, now it's your turn." "Let's give them a hand." "The only problem is... now that all the blades are in... I don't know how to get them out, so you'll have to go home like this". Make the Box Of Baghdad work for you, using with variety of themes.

Office Parities - Use with a secretary who types data entry all day - "If this doesn't work you can the rest of the day off". (If they manufacture electronics, they can have the rest of the minute off.)

Science Teachers - Demonstrate how two objects can not be in the same place at the same time, or equate how space/time has an effect. "If you weren't here, in this space, this wouldn't be happening to you at this time!"

Motivational Speeches / Sales meetings (raw raw meetings)- Impress on the audience the need to try the impossible. "As long as there are supportive people, who will help and guide you, what can you lose... right?" (That's a joke, sales people are usually competitive)

Medical Conventions - This is the new method for treating Carpel Tunnel Syndrome - with pin point accuracy. You won't need those old fashion Ultrasound machines anymore once you see how this works. Can we induce someone to try a complementary treatment? And the best part is you won't need to bill the insurance companies any more, just go direct. As the patients hands are undergoing treatment you can empty their pockets as a safety precaution.

Birthday Parties - Either play Sci-Fi music or patter throughout. The Box Of Baghdad isn't scary, like a head chopper, so you won't hear any objections from the parents. There's plenty of drama that builds with each dagger being pushed home. The daggers are easy to transport and easy to keep away from inquisitive viewers, unlike the Sword Thru Neck.

Safety Programs - By following directions and commands the participants will be safe & sound. "You always follow directions, right?... Then why do we have a video tape of you fill in the blank"
Teachers & professors, Question acceptable practices to advance the art - "Let's poke some holes in this theory and see if we come up with new ideas". "This is a space contingency. Do you feel anything continging in your space?" (Pull one of the daggers out. Look at it for signs of blood. Wipe it off. Shrug your shoulders, replace it, then continue.)

The Box Of Baghdad comes with 22 specially made daggers. These are not cheep wood dowel rods but are computer designed and have separately applied handle decorations. The box is a one size fits all that's a little larger then the original. It's made with eye popping, layered graphics, that look good close up and great from the stage. This is a brand new design of a great old effect that's been off the market for many years. When Jay Leslie re-engineers magic you know it looks and works great. This one is very time consuming to make because of all the little angles and swirls. $249.00
