Roydon?s Double Box Prediction Chest. Indiana: Harry Roydon, 1970s. The prediction of a newspaper headline or other event is revealed in the innermost of two locked, nested boxes. No special keys or small rolled billets. Spectator opens smaller inner chest. Walnut construction, brass hardware. Instructions. Uncommon. Roydon is best known as an inventor of pocket tricks including the magic-shop standards Crazy Cube and the Shrinking Die, among dozens more. His larger props, no less clever than the micro-miracles he devised, are genuinely uncommon, and no less clever than their smaller brethren.
