Once upon a time, in a land far away, there was a small town where music was the heart and soul of its people. Every house had a piano or a guitar, and the sound of melodies filled the air. But there was something special about one particular house in the town – the house of Mr. Johnson. Mr. Johnson was a kind and talented musician who was known all over the town for his enchanting musical abilities.

The magic music box

Imagine having a spectator think of a song, and as they play the music box their THOUGHT-OF-SONG begins to play!
OR
Turn a random song AS IT IS PLAYING into THEIR selected song.

Match a spectator's predictions in a totally UNIQUE and unexpected way that is 100% examinable.
5 powerful effects included, but the possibilities are endless.

"Imagine having a spectator think of a song". WOW that would be impressive! "Thought of song". No, selected song. A BIG difference. Nice idea and prop. Horrible ad description! Nice that there is a video and this is not written in a catalog from 1983.

IF doing this close-up or in a walk around setting, you will have to carry that long strip of music paper around in your hand as it is too long to put in a jacket pocket. You obviously cannot do this in a semi-noisy environment. It looks like a cute trick.

Is it all self contained and the paper is just a red herring. I’d like to buy it for the 20 songs in one! Can the spectator hold or crank out the song?

Where have you read that this is self contained?

The ad states you receive two special strips of paper so I assume you need to carry and insert the special paper into the music box.

You will receive:

- 25 strips of paper;
- 2 Special Strips of paper;
- 20 cards with songs and melodies written on;
- Music box and hole puncher;
- 10 (Standard V) 20 (Premium V) musics and melodies;

This too has caught my eye - partly because it offers something different and is intriguing.

I see it comes with a hole puncher and, as far as I understand it, one routine allows you to punch holes in the strip and end up with the predicted or thought of song. However my question is this. If you are punching holes in a strip and you are supplied with 25 strips of paper, does this mean you can only perform this effect 25 times? Or is there a way to get round this or, if necessary, buy more strips?

I like the idea of this. Didn’t like the presentation though. I know exactly how I’d routine this effect. I think I might take the plunge

Wonder Pop from Gee Magic was very poorly made. If this is of a higher quality made, can perhaps escape the junk drawer because it can be used as an interior design to decorate the room

If you do some searching on the internet you will find that you are going to pay about $70 extra for instructions how to roll up a piece of paper and do a switch. (Well, I may be wrong, there might be more to it, but you get my meaning.)

Ok, I have always thought that youu should pay for great ideas and the devolpment of the same, but a $70 add on easyly found products is a little to much.

Or is it only me with an old man's grumbling again?

I wonder if this effect was inspired by the music box effect Justin Willman did on his Netflix series: https://youtu.be/aLPghAYUdQ8

That's the first thing I thought of as soon as I saw it.

The idea using a music box in a magic routine is quite nice.
But the effect discussed here, is, at least to me personally, a bit, how should I put it, a bit vague.
I can not express my feelings about this effect in another way.
The routines don't feel like ready yet.

I think I'll stick to Christopher Taylors "Pink". There is a Music Box that reveals a prediction.
I found it in his Penguin Live, but perhabs it can be be found elswere?!

Or maybe they created the effect for him and now they are making it public

That's also a possibility. But if that were the case here I feel like they would've made a point to mention that in the ad copy as that's a big selling point ("as featured on. "). Yes, not necessarily, I realize that; however, I've noticed magic products that hit the market after they were featured on a big TV show tend to mention that in their ad copies to help promote their product. But this is just my hypothesis. 🤷‍♂️

The music box idea is not new at all. They just added an awful handling.

Many many years ago Lee Earle put out a Music Box effect. The idea of using a Music Box is certainly not new but I have certainly never seen one with a strip of paper. It be interesting to see some reviews.

Well that certainly it is something that resembles this very much. But I just don't know enough about this to see if anything was tweaked or not. I'm going to wait for reviews.

Good magic to all,

What you get for your money (in this routine) seems to be 10-30 ready punched tune paper strips (that you also, by the way, can find free on the Internet as pdf:s) plus, of course, routine ideas.

But after watching the demos, I must say that they looked a bit confusing. Or is it only me.

Johnson's family. One evening, as the sun was setting over the town, Mr. Johnson took his music box out of its hiding place. He carefully wound up the old key and opened the lid. As soon as the lid opened, a soft melodic tune started playing, filling the room with its soothing sound. Instantly, the room was transformed into a magical space. The walls shimmered with colorful lights, and the furniture started to dance to the rhythm of the melody. Mr. Johnson could hardly believe his eyes; it was like stepping into a different world altogether. As the music played, Mr. Johnson joined in with his guitar, his fingers effortlessly strumming the strings. The combination of the melody from the music box and Mr. Johnson's guitar was simply mesmerizing. It was as if the music had a life of its own, telling stories and evoking emotions that words alone couldn't express. One by one, the people of the town became aware of the enchanting music coming from Mr. Johnson's house. They couldn't resist the curiosity and flocked to his doorstep. Every evening, they would gather outside, captivated by the magical tunes that resonated from within. As word spread, people from neighboring towns started visiting as well, drawn by the allure of the music box. Some came seeking solace, while others came seeking inspiration. And every time they left Mr. Johnson's house, their hearts were lighter, their spirits lifted by the power of the music. But as time went by, Mr. Johnson grew old, and his fingers became tired, unable to create the same mesmerizing tunes as before. The music box, too, started to lose its charm, its melodies sounding fainter with each passing day. Realizing that he could no longer keep the music box's magic alive, Mr. Johnson made a difficult decision. He decided to pass it on to the person who could truly appreciate and preserve its enchantment – a young girl named Emily, who had shown a deep love and understanding for music. With the music box in her possession, Emily carried on Mr. Johnson's legacy. Every evening, she would wind up the old key and let the melodies fill her heart and soul. The magic continued to live on through her, bringing joy, comfort, and inspiration to all who listened. And so, the story of the magical music box carried on, reminding us that music is not just a collection of sounds but a powerful force that connects us all. It has the ability to transport us to different worlds, heal our wounds, and ignite our spirits. And as long as we keep the melody alive in our hearts, the magic of music will never fade away..

Reviews for "The Magic Music Box: Reviving Classic Tunes and Melodies"

1. Stuart - 1 star - I was really disappointed with "The Magic Music Box". The storyline was confusing and hard to follow, and the acting was subpar at best. I found myself getting bored and wanting to fast forward through most of it. The characters lacked depth and I couldn't connect with any of them. Overall, I do not recommend this film.

2. Emily - 2 stars - I had high hopes for "The Magic Music Box" but unfortunately, it fell short for me. The plot was predictable and cliché, and the dialogue felt forced and unnatural. The special effects were also underwhelming and didn't add much to the overall experience. I was hoping for a magical and enchanting film, but instead, I was left feeling unimpressed and disinterested.

3. Alex - 1 star - "The Magic Music Box" was a complete waste of time for me. The story lacked originality and felt like a cheap imitation of other fantasy films. The acting was cringe-worthy, with exaggerated performances that made it difficult to take the characters seriously. The pacing was also off, with the film dragging on unnecessarily. Save yourself the disappointment and skip this one.

4. Samantha - 2 stars - I don't typically write negative reviews, but "The Magic Music Box" just didn't do it for me. The concept had potential, but the execution was lackluster. The film struggled to find a balance between being a family-friendly movie and a serious fantasy adventure. As a result, it felt disjointed and failed to resonate with me. The performances were decent, but they couldn't salvage the weak script and lack of imagination.

5. Brian - 1 star - I was bored to tears by "The Magic Music Box". The story was unoriginal and felt like a recycled version of countless other fantasy films. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked any depth or development. The pacing was slow, and I found myself losing interest in the plot halfway through. Overall, it was a forgettable movie that I wouldn't recommend wasting your time on.
