Description

Of all the various Pill Boxes I have had the occasion to handle and work with this is the finest. Made of pure hard maple this vase stands 7 3/4 inches high with the ball size being a 1 3/4 inch diameter.

For a Pill Box to work properly all the surfaces have to be perfectly mated which this is in the precision turning. This vase also has a brass set pin to keep the lower half shell in registration so the top half shell which is locked into the top half of the vase by merely a friction fit will join perfectly once the spring loaded finial top is depressed.

It is in this way that the performer may remove the solid ball from the vase and cause its disappearance and upon returning to the the vase and removing the lid a complete ball is taken from the vase.

This is an effect that any familiar with the standard Ball and Vase Trick will be left scratching their head upon seeing this performed.

The style of this vase is like none other and one to be appreciated for its small body size in appearance for maximum deception.

The finish of the wood is silky smooth showing the extra care by a master and his finished product. A vase of this type takes many days of a mans life to complete.
