The drawer box is an old and clever principle for production. The box is normally rectangular, containing a drawer with a knob. The drawer is opened and shown to be empty. Upon closing the drawer and making incantations, the drawer is opened to be full of handkerchiefs, coins or an animal. The drawer box is commonly used as a pocket-sized prop to produce candy or money and can be constructed using household items. The main advantage of a drawer box is that it instantly resets, allowing the drawer to be shown empty or full as often as desired.
The mirror production box is a square box with a mirror that is not apparent to the audience and flaps on the front and top. Both flaps are opened, showing the box to be empty, and subsequently a production is made from the top of the box. This type of box is typically used on stage as a production for larger items like a rabbit or numerous props. The principle used allows it to also be used for vanishes, though this is not common.
The "square circle" is a production set often used on stage. It consists of a tube (the circle) and a box with no top or bottom (the square). The magician presents the square circle, and removes the square and circle separately, showing them each to be empty. When the circle is placed within the square, a large quantity of items may be produced from within. The square and circle may be shown empty multiple times and productions made sporadically throughout the show.
