Li Chang’s Boxes. Middlesex: Alan Warner, ca. 1990s. The two boxes are on the performer’s table along with six mini playing-cards which are lying face down. A spectator selects one of these cards and is instructed to remember it. The spectator is then asked into which box they would like their chosen card to be placed. The chosen card is placed in the selected box and the lid is closed. The spectator is then asked to name their card. The remaining cards are then turned over to show that they are all different. The spectator’s box is then placed on their hand. The performer holds the other box. The spectator is asked to open their box to reveal the absence of the original card. The performer opens their box with the spectator’s card inside. Box width 3”. Near fine.
