The Gozinta Box is one of the most innovative magic tricks by Lubor Fiedler. He had the idea for his trick when he was cleaning his house and thought about the most efficient way to store a bunch of empty boxes by placing them inside each other.

These boxes can be tricky to make and are relatively expensive props. The Gozinta Box Construction Kit helps you to create the props for the cost of two sheets of paper.
