You have an idea but have not given enough details. Is this to be done visibly or under cover? How large will it grow from what size of box? Will the small box show on stage or is this to be a closeup effect.
Have you ever heard of Dekolta's expanding die? Very complex but similar effect. Richard

Hi hugmagic
I plan to have the boxes on a table, and to have a cloth lying on the table next to them. I can produce from under the cloth, and I intend it to be close up expanding die sounds great d |

I remember seeing a shrinking matchbox ages ago... Very similar in construction to shrinking card boxes. Perhaps a spring or invisible elastic could be used to expand the gaffed box for you. Displaying the boxes while holding them tight enough to prevent premature expansion (I hate when that happens).
Or perhaps an I.T. with a sort of reverse of the self-folding dollar bill method. |
