This is one of the few okito box routines that doesn't feel 100 years old. Such an innovative and clever use of an old prop.

[@maeks74]

This is what magic should look like. Your presentation is astonishing and very entertaining. Thank you very much!

[@ResoluteGryphon]

That last vanish was super clean. Very clever routine.

[@albertsystem]

BRAVO!! Great routine with a nice touch of a delicate sense of humor.

[@ralphsites6011]

I do magic with the okito coin box as well and this fooled me several times. I love this routine. It's nice that you changed it up a little. I had to watch this routine 10 times before I figured it out. You did a great job please keep making great video like these. I look up you. You have excellent slight the hand. Good job.

[@RickHolcombe]

Thank you!

[@azrealmagic]

WOW !! Salute to your creative brain !! I just ordered an okito box to study about it, and this inspired me a lot.

[@RickHolcombe]

Wonderful!

[@tylerrabs]

Hadn't seen this vid. Great stuff Rick!!

[@RickHolcombe]

Thanks! One of my favorite concepts.

[@garyhenderson6504]

I think I like this more than just about everything else I have seen you perform. An Okito routine that feels brand new. Wow.

[@richdiacont2337]

Great routine. I would love to see you do a in depth tutorial on the Okito Box.

[@curtissneden8473]

Very cute, dude. Fun to watch and presumably fun to perform. Nice work.

[@RickHolcombe]

Thanks!

[@HazardSports]

You’re incredibly slick! I watched it 3 times to catch all of your moves but it might take me 100yrs to be able to pull it off 😂

[@flyvernon7]

This was great. Engaging and fooling. I just watched a goldsmith lecture about this premise. Coin magic needs a story..when it's just moves it lacks a magical feel. This felt so unforced and surprising. I'll be supporting this effort and dusting off my Boston.

[@ronwoch]

Love this video! This is the one that brought me to your channel, and I look forward to seeing the project you have hinted at in these comments. :D

[@JakHart]

I don't know how many times I've watched this Rick, it never gets old. I definitely think it's time to add this to my repertoire.

[@RickHolcombe]

Thanks Anthony

[@stevecross378]

I really enjoyed watching this. Lovely routine and so well thought out :) Thank you for sharing. Steve

Love the routine!! JUst watched it five times.

Me too and I still can't figure out where the glass went. 😆👍

[@earlarrowood]

My Okito Box is messed up. I think it’s broke. No...my hands are broke. No... I need YOUR directions. Lemme write them down. Go back again. Great routine man. Very simply slick. 👍🏼

[@RickHolcombe]

Thanks!

[@karlsjov]

Well done, I enjoyed watching your rutine. You fooled me several times 🙂

[@Erdnase23]

Lovely routine. Perfect music. And vice versa.

[@RickHolcombe]

Thank you! I appreciate that.

[@1161909]

Great routine, I have a few of those boxes, , thats a great blot for the effect .ending their is great because you've done a complete return to start. THANKS FOR SHARING .

[@pavlovsunhappydog]

Ha ha!..Outstanding routine.. very creative. The best premise for that little box i've ever seen. I apologise but i had to rewind when the lid dissappeared, i was delighted when you fooled me again with the coins and bag. It just about made my day when the box went, LOL Just brilliant

[@RickHolcombe]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@pavlovsunhappydog]

@@RickHolcombeYes, i did . there's a lesson here , we magicans forget, you really can do what you want with these props. i'd have never thought of that... Superb.

[@yagogarcia1841]

Smart and funny routine! Great ideas! Thank you so much!

[@RickHolcombe]

You're so welcome!

[@black1985vette]

Very nice. Well done and a fresh look at the Okito. I make my own and for friends. Two matched Boston boxes are good for having coins go back and forth. Three of them adds an element of cups and balls. You adding the bag to the routine is a great twist. The classic Okito still has some life in it. Keep up the good videos.

[@RickHolcombe]

Thank you! I appreciate that

[@dave2ooo788]

I like your role play even more than the routine. I laughed so much. Really great job!

[@manchestermoocher5644]

[@cecillewis968]

Super Awesome ! 👏 Thank you for sharing

[@keithnorris8982]

Rick, I've been trying to view all of your postings and I think I missed this one. I have a steampunk box and the lid is as deep as the box and I don't know why. Anyway, I love this version of yours. How you are confused with the directions... it's funny and makes this so entertaining. This is my kind of magic. Dude, I'm going to study and perfect this (as you have.) I am so happy I ran across this. It's 6:30 AM and you've already made my day:-) So, what's with the deep lid on mine? I could have a friend mill mine down but I thought I'd check with you first. As always, thanx for the superb video... you're the best, -keith

[@Reonaru]

Oh my cat . .. you're a genius Sir . . . .❤

[@patrickroga]

Excellent ! You are a genius !

[@RickHolcombe]

Thank you!

[@MarkStrus]

I love this routine. I've been thinking about getting an okito box but not sure what one to get.

[@RickHolcombe]

If you can afford it, Craig Ousterling makes the absolute best boxes. Below that, Copeland Coins. For the best and most affordable go with Buddha Boxes from Chazpro Magic.

[@MarkStrus]

@@RickHolcombe Thanks I actually ordered one that is a Buddha box but I'm going to take a look at the Craig Ousterling boxes. Thanks for the response.

[@sharpo]

Fun! Thanks for sharing this.

[@davidfillary]

I love this one the most.

[@wschield608]

Very well done!

[@RickHolcombe]

Thanks!

[@wschield608]

I picked up my first coin box in 1977. Yes, that’s right, I’m old. lol Five years later I started working at a magic and costume shop which I managed for over 30 years. The Johnson Products Okorto Set was hands down my favorite box but finding a good routine was challenging at best. You’ve put together a very solid routine filled with misdirection, subtleties and a good story line. I like it when someone takes a piece of “Classic Magic” and reinvents it to the point at which they own it. And you have, nice job! Wes

[@RickHolcombe]

@@wschield608 Yeah. I got tired of the standard Roth routines. The coins go in and the coins come out blah blah blah. Look for my other video with the box called "Sound of Silence" it's another fresh take.

[@Daveat23]

Nice Rick! Very well done.

[@RickHolcombe]

Thanks!

[@Daveat23]

@@RickHolcombe You are welcome. I learned Coin Magic at a young age, and sometimes wished someone could show me the proper way to do it. I was lucky that a bit later on, I met a man who was very good at it, and he helped me make it look more natural, similar to what you are doing. I am watching your video about the French Drop right now, and like how you are re-teaching this much maligned move. I learned it similar to the way you perform it. Keep up the good work!

[@Trancical]

Hey Rick. I've only recently discovered you and as someone who has performed with multiple Okito Coin routines, I think I might like this the best. Fun premise, cool effects, great storyline and I can't tell if you are a spectator or magician. Very well done. Routines like this will increase the popularity of Okito's little buddies. Can you share more routines with the OCBs?

[@RickHolcombe]

Awesome, thank you! I've got one more I've posted called The Sound of Silence

[@ertonyrn]

i got the whole routine figured out except getting the box back into the bag after having it on the top of the hand. i know how an okito box works but im missing this part. 🤔

[@ayokay123]

Other than a sleight or two, I wonder if this uses the same principle as the disappearing stack of nickels trick I used to do when I was a kid.

[@ralphwaltrts5994]

Rick, I purchased the okito Box off of amazon . It arrived in a box with the okito box in a little bag and a slip of paper with an address to watch the video on KZbin on how to use the oketo box. KZbin says the video is unavailable. I tried to get that on my cell phone. Is it blocked from being viewed on cell phones and do you have to use a regular laptop or tabletop computer to be able to see the video. Can you shed some light on how I can view the video that I was supposed to be able to view through the address received on the slip of paper in the illusion. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have learned much through watching your videos. Your presentations and explanations contain valuable information. Thanks so much for your videos

[@RickHolcombe]

I can't help you with your Amazon purchase, but here is a great resource that is free to download. magicshop.co.uk/products/coin-box-concepts

[@luisgarcia-ct5bg]

Awesome and funny. Maybe you can practice a little more to avoid use instructios jajaja. Cool

[@starkcd]

Keep practicing with it. I’m sure it will be less confusing as you get better!

[@hbirtt]

Great routine, thank you. I have always loved the confused magician concept (think Mario Lopez), and this one is really good. I hate boxes in magic, and I specifically hate the Okito. Always thought it was just a lame one trick pony, but you made great use of it. For me it would still be a lame gimmick, but this just goes to show that the gimmick is only as good, or bad, as the magician.

[@RickHolcombe]

Thank you and you're absolutely right.

[@richdiacont2337]

Great routine. If you don’t mind me asking where did you get your Okito box?

[@RickHolcombe]

Thanks! It's a Buddha Box. I got it at a magic shop, but you can find them online.

[@richdiacont2337]

Rick Holcombe | Coin Magic rally like the style. I was also looking at the Okito boxes from Viking magic, but I think I like the way the Buddha looks better. I have the Kartis Okito Box.

[@swashbuckle9856]

​@RickHolcombe so i was looking through my computer and realized i bought this trick from you a little over two years ago. I just never actually owned an okito or boston until a couple weeks ago. I guess i can finally start practicing. I was also wondering if you know anything about the dg retention or have any variants for it?

[@RickHolcombe]

I always use my take on the classic version. Learn it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGXFgHhqgbFgadE In my opinion, there is WAY too much emphasis put on this style of vanish. Just do it smoothly, we don't need 7 variations that vary by half a milimeter.

[@swashbuckle9856]

@@RickHolcombe i agree, but i also believe the addition of variations inevitably leads to a new sleight. I say this as a complete novice though.
