David Nixon Standard box (Blue) - Box 1

£40

Of the two “blue” boxes, which seem to be the “standard” set, this is the slightly better of the two. The lid is in very good condition with only a small white label in the corner (see top picture of the three together - left). Overall, this set is in pretty good condition for its age with only the expected wear and tear.

Over the last few years, I had a spate of collecting all and every magic set that came my way, many of them incomplete. However, after having to downsize the shop, I don’t have the room to keep them all. So, I have sorted through them all and, in this case particularly, have managed to make several complete sets (in fact, I think more than complete in some cases).

There never quite seemed to be a set pattern as to everything that would be in these boxes. I did come across a small list of everything they actually did for these. Interestingly, you could actually buy each and every trick separately.
