Gravity Box by Doug Malloy: Rare Handcrafted Light & Heavy Chest (#061/100) Made exclusively as a Limited Edition effect for Hocus Pocus Magic.
The "Light and Heavy Chest" remains one of the most iconic illusions in magic, yet finding a version that is both practical for professional performance and beautiful enough for a parlor stage is a challenge.
Enter the Gravity Box by Doug Malloy. This is not just a prop; it is a masterwork of craftsmanship. With only 100 units ever produced, this is your rare opportunity to own a piece of magic history that bridges the gap between reliable utility and elegant furniture-grade design.
Why the Gravity Box Stands Out
While many versions of the Light and Heavy Chest exist—including the famous Gimpy’s Magic iterations—Doug Malloy’s Gravity Box elevates the Bill Tresslar method to a new standard. It is designed for the working performer who needs a prop that is immediately ready, visually stunning, and entirely self-contained.
The Effect
Invite a spectator to assist in an experiment involving mind control and hypnosis. You place a standard-looking, high-quality wooden chest on the floor and place a silk inside. After a playful bit of hypnotic suggestion, the spectator attempts to lift the box, only to find it immovable.
The weight is instantaneous and impossible, yet the moment you remove the silk, the box is lifted with ease. It is the perfect centerpiece for mentalism, stand-up comedy, or children’s magic.
Technical Specifications & Features
Crafted from polished black walnut and accented with gleaming brass hardware, this box is built to last a lifetime of performances.
Premium Materials: Handcrafted furniture-quality construction.
Fully Self-Contained: No external triggers or hidden devices.
Versatile Design: Measures 7 3/4″ square—the perfect size for stage or parlor.

Own a Piece of Magic History
This isn't just a magic trick; it’s an investment in a unique, limited-edition prop. Whether you are a professional mentalist looking to add a highlight to your act or a collector seeking high-end magic apparatus, the Gravity Box by Doug Malloy delivers the perfect balance of performance impact and aesthetic beauty.
