What you will discover in the following pages is my interpretation of the classic Shadow Box illusion. In crafting this design, I drew inspiration from historical apparatuses such as the Spiker Box and Artist Daydream, while striving to maintain the captivating effect characteristic of a Shadow Box.

From a technical standpoint, I have employed a compact design and utilized black art to conceal the Assistant in plain sight, rather than relying on movement in and out of the cabinet or the use of mirrors.

I hope you find it enjoyable.
