The Elements Prediction Box - Retro Rocketeers - Nassif Estate
From the Estate of Nathan Nassif... This is a great story showing how a lover of the art of magic stayed with it all the way. Nate starting out as a master close-up performer (with a signature coin matrix effect). He then traversed into parlor and stage venues including a wonderfully remembered Chinese Linking Ring routine by his family & friends. As Nate aged he accepted something difficult - loosing his dexterity due to arthritis and neuropathy. Give up his love for magic - FORGETABOUT! Nate zig-zaged into collecting. Nate was the epitome of class and someone we at Stevens Magic along with his friends like Jon Wilson and family won't forget. In fact our relationship with Nathan transcended the art of magic...

“The Elements” is a beautiful prediction box effect that could be used with many different story lines. The circular box featuring mystical Celtic designs includes a drawer which hold inside four tablets with each representing one of the four elements (water, fire, air and earth). You show each of the elemental tablets to the spectator before staring into their eyes to concentrate, after which you choose one of the tablets as a prediction and place it into the empty drawer of the box and close the drawer. Nobody knows what stone is inside the drawer. It is a mystery to all.
Then you take the top lid off the box to show four larger totems again representing each of the four elements. You now ask the spectator to take one of these elements from the box at random (this is 100% a free choice) and place the lid back on it (although this does not have to be done). This process can be done while you are watching or with your back turned to the spectators, fully up to you.
After the spectator has chosen his stone (for example AIR) you can now open the drawer to show the tablet (prediction) you placed in it beforehand. As you take out the tablet and turn it over to reveal to the spectator all can clearly see your prediction (AIR) matches perfectly with their chosen element!
The trick is completely self-contained, the prediction always matches the chosen element. The outcome can be different every time and there is a completely free choice. After you have placed the prediction in the drawer, you do not have to touch the box anymore.
Each box is completely hand-painted to give the appearance of a valuable and mysterious old-looking box.
