Daffydoug has added a tweak to the construction that will make creating the gimmick much easier. He just shared this great idea with me and I really appreciate the help. Off to build another!

I've also figured out how to conquer the "thickness issue" that some are experiencing. Some have had trouble with the drawer sliding easily in and out of the sleeve after you construct it, because the gimmick is too thick.
It's not a problem if you take a certain step when constructing it.
The difficult must become easy, the easy beautiful and the beautiful magical.

Also, if anyone would like to see a photo or brief video of my final result (I'm so dog-gone proud!) just shoot me a line.

Congrats Rick - again excellent piece of magic !
Is it only me or I have just this creative day today and think that Vuja De would be great opener for Inferno ? Just need to put that paper clipped card underneath the matches and there you go. Shock therapy in a matchbox |

I just have to say that Doug really came up with an EXCELLENT tweak to the gimmick.
You really should contact him if you have this (and you probably should have this!).
Jack Straw from Wichita, cut his buddy down
And dug for him a shallow grave, and laid his body down Half a mile from Tucson, by the morning light One man gone and another to go, my old buddy you're moving much too slow We can share the women, we can share the wine |

Hey Gang!
1) Wow. So happy you guys are all digging the trick so much! 2) As for thickness issue, what I do is...I put a ton of matches in the box (more than it will comfortably hold), and then I squeeze the sleeve over it and let it sit there for an hour or so. That naturally expands the sleeve a bit. Then for performance I just use fewer matches. But Doug, please do PM me with your idea. Curious to hear what ya got. Thanks again gang! |

Holy cow! My pm box is inundated with inquiries! This is incredible, and it's not even my effect. It's RICKS!
I've already answered probably a couple dozen pm's yesterday, but they just kept coming in! Here's what I'll do. I need to get ready for church, but after church I'll go through my pm box and try to answer each request with individual care. Please be patient with me fellas! Daff

Does anyone have a way to make the shaking with the gimmick 'heavier'?. Mine sounds too soft. I tried to use a dime instead but doesn't sound right.

I'm not trying to be presumptuous nor bumptious, but I'll bet b b's would be your best bet, bud.

Rick has put out a lot of good stuff lately. I am so glad he decided not to be a lawyer.

Lawyer? Rick studied law ?
I had no idea. But I agree that Rick is da' man!
