I have two questions:
1. I bought this thing called a Loonie Bin from my magic shop, which was a Okito box and a boston box and instructions for a penetration routine. However, I have heard that Okito boxes are gimmicked, and mine isn't. Is it really an okito box? 2. Where can I learn effects for it?
For those who believe, no explanation is necessary. For those who do not, none will suffice.
A magician is an actor playing the part of a magician. Don't run when no-one's chasing you. |

Have a look in Bobo's (revised edition) for a detailed discussion of the Okito box.
...to all the coins I've dropped here

Okito boxes aren't gimmicked beyond their natural symmetry.
There are numerous gimmicked boxes that look like Okito boxes, the boston box is just one example. As Jonathan mentioned, Bobo's revised edition talks about numerous types of gimmicked boxes. Also, David Roth's book, Expert Coin Magic is a great resource for more information. Also, David Neighbors has some really good ideas on how to use a boston box in his booklet "the professional coin box magic of david neighbors". At $25 it's reasonably priced as well. Dave |

David Roth has a great set of Okito boxes. It includes a regular Okito box, the Boston Box, and a box with a "slit" that allows you to retain a coin as you apparently empty the box of its coins. David Roth is an excellent source for Okito routines. Good luck.

I would go with David Roth Coin Magic Made Easy Okito Box DVD. or get his book.There is a huge section just on Okito box moves.
I just put this one up on MVD. This is one of the routines on the DVD. But that's not why you should get it. its mainly for the moves he teaches. http://www.magicvideodepot.com/view.php?a=v&t=10395 I hope that helps Tim
Mean people SUCK!!!!!!!

For the record, some older "plain" Okito Boxes were made with a weighted bottom to facilitate "the move".

Good resources for learning about the Okito box are:
Bobo's book. Also, David Roth's book, Expert Coin Magic and Roth's Coin Magic Made Easy Okito Box DVD. Of course the magic club you belong to is there to help you, all you have to do is ask. |

Looking forward to that! RevJohn |

Oh, and on the DVD/VHS section, someone had Chad Long's Magic Video for sale, which has a great routine for the Okito Box/Boston Box. Good stuff.

...think not that all wisdom is in your school. You may have studied other paths,but, it is important to remember that no matter who you are or where you come from, there is always more to learn.

Hi Kingstardog,
It Magnetic! Myself I like that better! That way I can use a shimmed coin! And I think Thay sound more like A real coin! ( Todd do anyway !)
That way it's easy to comb. them with sight of hand! But you could use any of the routines with A Shimmed box and a Magnetic coin! and thanks Revjohn. Also If you want the DVD to come out Quicker You mite E-Mail Chazpro and ask about it! |

Is it necessary to have good coin sleight skills to use the Okito box?
Thanks Keith |

I would have to say yes you do need good sliight skills because the box is not gimmicked, and even the gimmicked boxes are not really gimmicked in a way that would aid you if you aren't good with slight of hand. It's when you combine slight of hand WITH the boxes that produce amazing effects. Even better if you hand the box out and it us just a brass cylinder. The nice things about the box is they can make slight of hand easier due to the fact that you can hold out coins, and load coins without the spectators knowing and having your hand completely empty.
