Have you ever performed a trick that literally made everyone jump out of their skin? Would you like to? João Miranda answers both questions with this diabolical Haunted Box, a clever illusion guaranteed to amaze your audience.

Imagine the following: your participants are seated around a table. The magician tells a story about a deck of cards he found. The deck exhibits strange and inexplicable behavior: it suddenly starts rumbling in the middle of the night. Could it be the ghost of Houdini or a notorious gambler? The magician opens the box and takes out a deck of cards and a Sharpie marker, then has a participant sign a random card and place it back in a random spot in the deck. Now it gets fun!

The volunteer may now place the cards one by one into the box, while the magician has turned his back or even left the room. And then, without warning, BAM! The box snaps shut. When the next card is examined, it is the signed card! The box has refused to accept the selected card.

But now comes the real surprise: this is a 100% self-working effect. Haunted Box works without wires, remote controls, cables, or special assistants. Focus on your presentation and let the box do the rest of the work! Although the Haunted Box is incredibly powerful in close-up magic, it’s also large enough to perform in front of a full room! It’s a true show-stopper!
