NEW ITEM! STANDARD DOUBLE SURPRISE BOX! ANOTHER PETER AUSTIN ORIGINAL

NEW STANDARD EDITION!
(NOT THE COLLECTOR'S SERIES)
NOW YOU CAN AFFORD TO OWN A PETER AUSTIN ORIGINAL!

BONUS! BONUS! BONUS!
NO MORE HORRIBLY WRITTEN DIRECTIONS! FULL INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO INCLUDED!

Hello my fellow Magicians!
After turning down almost 100 offers for my Collector's Edition "Double Dragon Double Surprise Box" I decided to make an Standard version of the Double Surprise Box. This was so everyone could have a chance to purchase this amazing illusion for a more "affordable" price of the Original "Double Dragon" Collectors Item I have been selling over the last year (currently selling here on Ebay for $599.00). ONLY 4 LEFT IN THE SERIES!

This item will function EXACTLY as the collector's item with the only real differences in finishing to keep the production time down as well as the cost down. Although they will not have the same exact "hand finished" details as my collector's series, they are built with the same exact construction materials, hardware and precision. You can expect the same Peter Austin Quality and it will be well worth the price and will still be a centerpiece in your show!

One of the major differences between the standard and collector's editions, is the Graphics. Instead of hand cut stenciled graphics, we use computerized cut vinyl which saves Peter over 25 hours of work and 12 days of paint curing time. A few other very painstaking details like hand antiqued hardware, flocked interior, and powder coated screws are also not included in the standard version. The standard version is also not a "limited" series and therefore will be signed and dated by Peter but will not be numbered.

Due to popular demand, we will be offering this new Oriental design as part of the Standard Series. We will soon have 2 other different designs (Clown & Egyptian) to choose from and will always consider custom jobs for NO EXTRA CHARGE provided they are not too complex. Things like color and theme/graphics could be made to match your show for no additional cost.

Thank you all for making Peter Austin Magic the true definition of the word "MAGIC!" We will always strive to make the best magic possible!

Sincerely,
Peter Austin

NOTE: The Double Dragon Design of the Colletor's Series is not available with this series as it is part of a limited series and after the next 4 are sold, it will never be made again. The new oriental design (pictured above) is for those of you who just LOVED the Oriental design and the Dragons.

HERE ARE SOME TESTIMONIALS ON THIS ILLUSION:

Dear Peter,

The double dragon box arrived safely today...

...and I am absolutely THRILLED with it! It surpasses my wildest expectations! It is beautifully constructed--timeless and classical in its appearance. The craftsmanship is almost unbelievably superb; your attention to detail is commanding. The finishes-- the paintwork, antiquing of the fixtures, exquisite stenciling, sumptuous flocking and all the rest--astonishes me every time I touch it and look at it.

Peter, I haven't had time yet to view the video but I'll watch it tomorrow. I have, however, put it through its paces, and it performs wonderfully. The mechanisms work flawlessly, smoothly and mysteriously. It is a marvel of magical engineering. Congratulations; I am very, very proud to have it in my working magic collection.

I will provide a MORE glowing testimonial soon, after I have performed with it on the 23rd, and will try and video a performance with it for you.

Thank you, and for the excellent and speedy service. I am truly grateful for your wonderful and inspired work.

Will write again soon; meantime, best and warmest wishes,

Geoffrey

I also recently sold one of these great magic illusions to the WELL KNOWN Magic builder Rodney Goodman of Goodman Magic. What an HONOR it is to have other magic builders buying my items. Here is what Mr. Goodman recently wrote about my items:

"Peter Austin is destined to become a legend in the Magic building business. 

         His extreme attention to detail and perfection makes his items highly

         collectible. Each item he creates has many labor-intensive hours put 

         into them and it shows in their professional quality and beauty. Peter’s 

         unique principles that are incorporated into his items make them a joy 

         to perform .A Magical creation from Peter Austin Is

         an item to cherish throughout the years."

This auction is for a Peter Austin ORIGINAL. This is one of his UNIQUE creations and as far as we know the ONLY one of its kind in existence! He has guarded this Magic for the last 10 years and now he is ready to let this one out of his private collection…

EFFECT:
The magician brings out a beautifully painted Oriental box with two doors (front and back) and two big holes on the opposite sides. He explains how this mysterious magical box has been handed down through hundreds of years of magician generations. He opens both doors and the audience can clearly see through the box and the big holes on the sides. The magician puts his hand through the box and his fingers through the holes to assure no tricky stuff like wires or mirrors are being used… He then closes the doors and with a wave of the magic wand, he reaches inside one of the holes on the side and seems to grab something. Suddenly you see a RED silk… he keeps pulling and then you see that it is tied to a white silk! He keeps pulling and now its tied to a yellow, a blue, an orange, pink, black, purple, all tied together! SEVEN more silks come out tied to each other, the audience is dumbfounded!

With a look of total disbelief, the magician opens the doors (front and back) to again check inside. Again he shows it to be totally empty and runs his hand through the opening and then closes the doors. He then reaches into his left pocket and pulls a large red sponge ball. Then he reaches into his right pocket and pulls out a large Yellow Sponge ball. “This is a pair of magical sponge balls, a momma and papa… I keep them in separate pockets so they don’t have babies, they multiply faster than rabbits! Watch…” He inserts each ball into one of the holes on the side of the box. A wave of the magic wand, and he again opens the door. “Is that amazing or what kids” but the kids go wild saying “Mama is gone!” “Oh, I forgot, mama is very shy…” He reaches in his pocket and sure enough there is mama… “OK Mama, don’t be shy…” The door is once again closed and both mama and papa are put back into the box through one of the holes on the side of the box. A wave of the wand and the doors are opened again…. “AND NOW, INTRODUCING THE SPONGE BALL FAMILY, MAMA, PAPA, AND BABIES!” The kids start screaming “THEY’RE GONE, THEY’RE GONE!” The magician looks only to find that it’s true, mama and papa are really gone! He checks his pockets but this time neither momma nor papa are there!

At this point the kids are going wild… “OK Kids, I need your magical powers to help bring back mama and papa, you have to help me, I need them for my next show! At the count of three I want you all to say ABRACADABRA! Ready? OK… One… two… three! The magician takes his wand and passes it over the box but this time fire and sparks come out of the wand! The magician picks up the box and opens the door and this time its FILLED TO THE TOP WITH SMALL RED AND YELLOW BABY SPONGE BALLS! As the balls spill out onto the floor the magician gets a huge round of applause!

The routine you just read is just one way of using this awesome piece of magic. It can be used with many different items and props (even small live stock) that fits the same confinements as silks and sponge balls. This is Peter’s routine and basic patter and he has given his permission to anyone who would like to use it.

Now, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, You have a rare opportunity to own a Double Surprise Box! NO ONE ELSE HAS THIS ITEM. GO AHEAD, CHECK THE INTERNET! YOU CAN ONLY GET IT HERE AND ONLY FOR A LIMITED TIME.
