I am sorry to report that someone(s) has knocked-off my Legacy Box. The Legacy Box was manufactured by Owen's Magic with my permission, and that company has ceased operations.
The knock-off Legacy Box is showing up here and there (Ebay, for instance) and it sells for a lot of money. Unfortunately, on top of the fact that these people are stealing from me, they do not fully understand the physics that make the box work. I know this because someone emailed me today wondering why his "second-hand" box that he got on Ebay did not operate correctly. He included an accompanying video. I told him he bought a knock-off, and I told him what needed to be done to make the box function.
I have sent a (real) Legacy Box to Viking Manufacturing, for the talented George Robinson to look at. Perhaps Viking will continue manufacture of the box, perhaps not. But be aware that knock-offs are out there, and they do not work correctly.
The Wonderful World of Magic.

Re: The Legacy Box
I wasn't familiar with the Legacy Box until reading the above post. In case others are in the same boat, here's a review by Andy Martin. In the meantime, I hope Viking will look favourably on the project.

Very kind of you to help the guy with the bogus box. I also hope Viking will take it on.

Re: The Legacy Box
We magicians all seem to have lots of dead relatives who leave us the weirdest things.

Re: The Legacy Box
Stories like this always irritate me, especially when they happen to a classy guy like David.
To Brad's comment: maybe we magicians would all be better off if our dead relatives would leave us some ethics instead!
