Today I started prototyping for a magic effect involving a nice box like the one you see on the left there. The inspiration for the effect comes from one I saw performed on Sunday at a social for my S.A.M. assembly. Without going into how it works, I was able to work in an extra effect that the original would not be able to do. Without factoring in the cost of tools I used to alter the box, my entire cost was under $7. I will have to start with a new box for my finished piece because I made a couple mistakes, but this one is still functional. I decided to flame distress the box to give it a more interesting look than the plain wood it started as. I do NOT suggest you try this at home, kids! Maybe not even some of you adults. Basically, I took a torch to the thing to make it look more rugged. I am pretty happy with the results.
