Okay, I didn't say there were no holes or slits. I said there were no holes or slits in any of the sides. And no, there's nothing at the top. I don't know if you can figure out the method from that, but it really works well to a spectator.

I think the point is that many of us are mighty skeptical that this would even remotely go over for real lay people, let alone amaze them.  You didn't show more than about 120 degrees of freedom in the angles, and there aren't any spectators.  Film a couple genuine performances for lay people in a few different settings without any editing and we'll get a better idea of its potential.

i would say that is a very decptive pitch, setting up for a let down once the method is learned

That's a very deceptive condition. Technically, a side can mean any flat surface of the box, so that was very misleading.

First off all, nothing was misleading, as the effect was transparent.

You put the coin in the BACK.  You don't show the BACK.  You STARE at the back THROUGHOUT the video.

I wonder...

could it be that there's no back?  A hole in the back?  

Common...

For frugs sake- why are you guys posting videos?  WHY?

It does seem rather pointless to post most magic videos... like you've told me before, why put up videos for people to watch over and over and piece together the possible method? That's why I do not post anymore.
