    What is the difference between mint box and toibox

    Hey Da'Mon, I've been interested in making my own videos in a similar format you have, but the subject matter being comics. What camera set-up and software are you using?

      I mainly use my phone (Galaxy S9+) but also use a Canon T5i. I just built a custom rig for a better overhead since my tripod had issues with showing the feet sometimes. For editing software I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro, running on an iMac. Hope this helps!

    I bought one and doesn't stay set up. As soon I open the box it goes back to the default position.

      I’ve been using toibox for a couple years now since I watched your instructions on it. Seriously, best $20 download I have ever purchased, I use it every time I have any sort of a close-up gig. I don’t get why people would buy the same effect but gimmicked and fragile and less practical and offers less freedom/utility and triple the cost. To each their own I suppose. But toibox is the best casual “mystery box” effect out there in my opinion, with no competition.

      kammagic if i find these metal tins around here i will consider buying toibox. But i wonder what exactly is the effect?
      What does the spectator see? Could you describe in like 4 or 5 sentences?

    I felt hoodwinked, but it is my review. Had someone on Penguin get angry, but I was being honest as to why I regret buying it. I felt the video was dishonest as it shows the creating magician going in the store to buy a "normal" Altoids mint box. Not true. Despite its price and it's gimmick, it does require a hefty bit of card sleight. Think Mercury. Personally, and this is my fought, but I don't like card destruction tricks. For obvious reasons. Not worth it my opinion.

      @@micahsinclair5782 ...so you're criticizing my criticizing of those criticizing my initial criticizing of the trick in question. There are different levels of magicians Michal Sinclair and I left my review and will continue to do so, whether negative or positive despite dickheads like you. Many of these tricks are very expensive Micah Sinclair (I must look that name up) and if I can help save a few bucks to someone like myself, I'll continue to do so.

      @@Bringadingus It's been a year, move on. The trick is not worth it, which is why many that bought it, don't use it. I'll repeat why I didn't like it. For one, it was dishonest for him to show himself buying a real Altoids box. Two, for a gimmick trick it does require a decent sleight. Three, It's not repeatable and four, not examinable. He probably made good money on the trick. Good for him. Not my first time being disappointed with a trick. I assume you've experienced the same thing at one time. That's what the comments and rating systems are for. I imagine I saved a few people a few bucks.

    I've never seen Altoids here in Canada, so I couldn't justify spending USD$60 on a trick that I would have to (re)build from the ground up anyway. However, I love the effect (and the reaction), so I'm certainly interested in it. Help anyone?

    Actually if you know the secret you could built your own other brand of mint boxes for a lower price , to fix the gimmick it is super easy , you need to buy the secret gimmick that cost about 16$ on Amazon that it should last long time and could be used to built lot of gimmicked mintboxes.

      H-Sun street magician can u give a hint as to where u might find the tools to make your own...I own toibox and think the effect is much more practical ($60 is alot to spend) but a different approach to toibox could be nice.

      Hi I also just purchased toibox as an alternative because I’m broke and can’t afford the gimmick but I found the slights in toibox quite difficult for me and I am able to do some. I would love the alternative method so could you provide hints as to where to look. It’s fine if you can’t toibox has many applications anyway

    I don't know what Daniel was thinking when he put out this effect. There's already a trick exactly like this one, toibox. If the box breaks you can buy another one for a couple of bucks, the routines are fantastic, there's so many different routines you can do. With cards, with Bill's, with coins, and it's only $20. This was a bad decision to bring out this trick for $60.

    60$ is fairly pricey. But I’d pay 60$ for an effect I will use rather than a $5 effect I’ll never use.

    • @YouFoundTheWorstAlive

      I can stand behind this one. Sometimes it's not what you spend but the value you get for it.

    • @mgdiaz2158
      @mgdiaz2158 6 лет назад

      When the box breaks, which it will, you have a decision to make, stop doing the trick or spend another $60 to get another one.
