There has NEVER been anything like this that captures comprehensively information about this effect until now!  

The Box Goes-In-Da Box is a treatise on the Gozinta Boxes, brilliantly written and illustrated by Peter Prevos. Peter’s work is exceptional. We at Stevens Magic are big fans. His attention to meticulous detail, which includes two and half pages of bibliography, is refreshing (and sadly lacking) in the world of magic.  Equally important are the topics he chooses to write about, he has a sharp sense of filtering and selecting some of the most sought-after subjects in the art.  Peter does a good job of incorporating the rich history of this illusion crediting the great Lubor Fiedler, as well as showing the evolution of this incredible miracle. Ken Brooke new a great thing when he saw it with Bob Dreebeck’s – Dribeck Die, and item sold in the US Exclusively by Stevens Magic Emporium.  

A treatise on the Gozinta Boxes

The Box Goes-In-Da Box. A treatise on the Gozinta Boxes. Magicians have been captivated by the Gozinta Box since it was first introduced to the magic world by Lubor Fiedler in 1970. The essence of the gozinta plot in magic is that an object fits into itself – a topological anomaly.

The word gozinta (also spelt 'gazinta') is a form of eye dialect, just like words such as fella for fellow or helluva instead of "hell of a". The word gozinta was introduced by primary school teachers to explain long division using the gozinta method: 2 gozinta 4, 3 gozinta 6 and so on.

This ebook discusses the gozinta box plot in detail, including its history, forms of presentation and instructions on how to design and construct your own props.
