Video # 21 – Nielsen Dean’s Box – 2025 BatchThe Final Video.Well folks, guess what? All good things come to an end.This one minute video at 2x speed, shows the conclusion of our over 600 hour project. I am also grateful that my pal Denny made some time to assist me in the process.In the last 20 videos you have seen us cut the materials, shape them, transform them and finish them into the various components for our magic boxes. This is where everything comes together. After applying the exterior finish, we gather all the parts and attach them to the make the final product.IMHO, Dean’s Box is one of the best parlor magic tricks in the world of magic today.This piece is available for sale in our website at www.nnmagic.comAt this time I would like to take a moment to THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your kind following and support. It is people like you that make my job worthwhile.I also would like to wish you a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year.May God bless you all! ❤️🤗🙏🏼#nielsenmagic #magicprops #ilovewoodworking #handcrafted #highquality #womeninwoodworking #deansbox #productionwork #happynewyear See MoreSee Less

Video # 19 – Nielsen Dean’s Box – 2025 BatchThe following video footage was recorded on December 7, 2025. Although the project is completed, I promised to finish the entire video series about the process.It is time to apply a finish to the exterior of the boxes.The first step is to stain all the boxes first. Adding a stain allows us to control the finish by making sure that the wood looks uniform in color throughout the entire batch.We clean the interiors and mask and protect them, and then proceed to stain them. Everything is tedious but straightforward.My speaking part is at 1.25x the speed to avoid voice distortion, and the rest of the video is at 2x speed. A huge “thank you” goes to my friend Denny for his assistance in the process. With his help, we were able to finish the boxes by mid-December. 😁#nielsenmagic #magicprops #ilovewoodworking #handcrafted #highquality #womeninwoodworking #deansbox #productionwork See MoreSee Less

Video # 18 – Nielsen Dean’s Box – 2025 BatchThe following steps, summarized in a one minute video, took several days to do.After the lids are fitted to the boxes. The next steps are:– Round over the sharp edges of the entire box. We want to ensure that when you hold it, it is pleasant and soft to the touch. This is done with a router bit on a router table.– Each box is individually numbered.– The lid has a magnetic catch so that it will stay closed during performance. The hole for the magnet is drilled at this stage.– The rear edge of the lid is rounded over as well.– The entire box and lid are sanded one last time with 220 grit sand paper. The sander has a soft pad to help sand the edges without flattening them or damaging the main sander pad.This entire process is repeated on all the one hundred boxes we are making for this batch.#nielsenmagic #magicprops #ilovewoodworking #handcrafted #highquality #womeninwoodworking #deansbox #productionwork See MoreSee Less

Video # 17 – Nielsen Dean’s Box – 2025 BatchAs promised, I am committed to post the remainder process videos for Dean’s Boxes.After the mortises are cut and the hinges and lids of the boxes are installed, the next step is to properly fit the lids to the boxes.Remember: The boxes we are making are 100% handcrafted. We have gone through dozens of steps and multiple parts. The material we are using is wood, which expands and contracts. Although we are being as precise as possible, there will be a few variations in each of the boxes. It is normal to have a 1/16” small margin of error on each piece. All the pieces have been cut, glued, clamped, sanded and withstood a lot of handling.All the discrepancies are corrected on the steps described in this video which is played at 1.25x speed for brevity.#nielsenmagic #magicprops #ilovewoodworking #handcrafted #highquality #womeninwoodworking #deansbox #boxfitting See MoreSee Less
