Albo Nest of Boxes. 1990s. A beautifully crafted Nest of Boxes in which a borrowed, previously vanished item reappears locked within the inner most of four nested wooden boxes. Hardwood construction with no assistant required for loading. Largest box 11 ½ x 9 ½ x 9”. Very minor scuffing to exterior, else very good. This finely crafted set of boxes – of a quality rivaling or, arguably, surpassing that of Floyd Thayer – was custom made for the famed magic collector and author Dr. Robert Albo. The vanished object can be loaded into the innermost box while the set is in full view, and without any assistance. The gimmick locks, and each box may be examined after the effect concludes. A spectator is allowed to open each box and discover the missing object inside the innermost chest.
