James Brown's Ultimate Card-to-Box routine... Pure, delicious, sleight-of-hand.

Almost 20 years ago, James came up with a card-to-box routine called ‘Box Clever’.

Since then, tens of thousands of magicians around the world have added it to their professional and personal repertoire... Including us.

So despite the hundreds of other good card-to-box effects that hit the market since, when we found ourselves performing casually in Amsterdam last year - we defaulted to this opener. 

Our job at Ellusionist is to help you develop your taste & skill as a magician - so we wouldn’t be doing our job if we didn’t teach you everything we choose to perform ourselves... aka 'Ultimate Card to Box'. 

So we immediately phoned James to meet us in London & film this for YOU. 

All it requires is a normal deck of cards - and it's box. 

It's pure, delicious sleight-of-hand with misdirection baked right in. 

  • No gimmicks
  • No set-up 

Because this is an instant video tutorial, you'll be able to start learning this routine within seconds after checkout. 

You'll learn: 

  • James' original Box Clever routine 
  • The New, bold-faced 'Ultimate Card to Box' routine that James has kept secret... until now
  • How to perform 'Ultimate Card to Box' even without a table. 
  • + The theory & misdirection that makes routine hit again & again - while their body collapses with awe. 


In fact, here is a full performance of Team E's Yannick performing the original routine to football fans outside a bar in the pouring rain...


We aren't exaggerating here, you'll learn that original routine + James' new version, which is [chef's kiss] flawless.

So flawless, that even after James taught us his new version, we had him perform it for us - and it STILL fooled us, BADLY. 

Each movement is like a dance. It just flows effortlessly and drags you willingly down Foolers Lane. 

Plus, Ultimate Card to Box is modular. So you can perform 1 phase or all the phases. You choose. 

Time & creativity have tried to defeat this routine - both have failed. It's our go-to card-to-box routine and we know it'll be yours too.

Ultimate Card Under Box

James is THE master of misdirection, and I could watch him perform all day long! This is a masterclass in the card under box principle as only James could do. By far THE BEST, both the original handling and the new updated version. Just buy it, learn it and perform it, along with anything else James puts out!

A gem of an effect

I had love this effect as it taught me a sleight, I had not known and found it simple to perform right under the careful watch of the spectators. Plus the added thrill of having the card show up in a box is mind blowing. The instructions are easy to understand and follow. Once you have done this trick, you will feel very good about yourself as a magician. This si worth learning and most of all worth buying. Take your magic to the next level, it will astound all who see this performed.

Mini masterclass in misdirection

I’ve been a fan of James since his DVD came out a million years ago. He has only refined and improved since. He likes to skirt the very edge of what’s possible with attention direction, and we are fortunate that he’s willing to share.

Even if you know it, buy it!

I have the old version of card under box and have used it many times performing. I had one issue with that one and that's the first phase.
The updated version that solves that problem is in itself worth the price!
This is what a real worker looks like!!!
