Brass Coin Safe (India)......$17.50
A brass box is displayed . This has a hole In the cover, and inside the
box are a number of coins. A spectator Is asked to remove the coins,
but Is unable to do so. The cover revolves freely on the box, but cannot
be removed, unless you know the clever secret.
The box will hold coins of any size Including the Indian Five Rupee
coin, old English Penny, or U.S. half dollar coin. If you do not wish to
have the coins preloaded into the box, you could borrow a coin from a
spectator, have them mark it with a marker and then introduce it Into
the box.
You could also use any other object, such as a finger ring, earring, die,
folded bill, etc, or any Item small enough to fit Into the box, but not so
tiny that It can be introduced or removed through the hole in the cover.
The box is designed by Sam Dalal, working on the principle of the
ZULU Puzzle Box described by Professor Hoffman In his book
PUZZLES OLD AND NEW ( originally published In 1893 and
republished In 1988 by Martin Breese). The precision machined brass
box supplied Is a superbly constructed long lasting and durable prop.
You'll marvel at the ingenious method employed to open the box.
They'll never figure it out.
