Boston Box
Jump to navigation
Jump to search
Boston Box (not invented by George Boston) is an Okito Coin Box that has a recessed bottom which allows it to appear full after a steal is made.
George has been erroneously linked to the Boston Box, a variation of the Okito Coin Box, by J.B. Bobo in his book Modern Coin Magic. Most believe now that it just originated in the city of Boston. [1] In fact, this kind of box has already been explained chapter 31, in The Discovery of Witchcraft by Reginald Scot, published in 1584.
