“The Elements” is a beautiful prediction box effect that could be used with many different story lines. The circular box featuring mystical Celtic designs includes a drawer which hold inside four tablets with each representing one of the four elements (water, fire, air and earth). You show each of the elemental tablets to the spectator before staring into their eyes to concentrate, after which you choose one of the tablets as a prediction and place it into the empty drawer of the box and close the drawer. Nobody knows what stone is inside the drawer. It is a mystery to all.
Then you take the top lid off the box to show four larger totems again representing each of the four elements. You now ask the spectator to take one of these elements from the box at random (this is 100% a free choice) and place the lid back on it (although this does not have to be done). This process can be done while you are watching or with your back turned to the spectators, fully up to you.
After the spectator has chosen his stone (for example AIR) you can now open the drawer to show the tablet (prediction) you placed in it beforehand. As you take out the tablet and turn it over to reveal to the spectator all can clearly see your prediction (AIR) matches perfectly with their chosen element!
The trick is completely self-contained, the prediction always matches the chosen element. The outcome can be different every time and there is a completely free choice. After you have placed the prediction in the drawer, you do not have to touch the box anymore.
Each box is completely hand-painted to give the appearance of a valuable and mysterious old-looking box.

Anthony Yap is an Australian artist with a passion for visual oddities, magical history and the esoteric arts. Influenced by a wide range of genres from mystical ancient cultures to Steampunk & Retrofuturism, Anthony’s creations are highly visual, and usually a lot more than what they seems at first glance.
Some artists naturally take to drawing, others modelling clay, for Anthony the virtual world of 3D Sculpting has been his medium of choice for over 2 decades and remained mostly contained to the virtual world until the rise of 3D Printing and additive manufacturing. Here Anthony saw an opportunity to rapidly take concepts and almost like magic to see those creations manifest over night into reality. While a big step in the right direction simply using 3D printing or CNC wasn’t enough, the result still felt unfinished and looked like a toy. Instead, a process and style was developed that uses 3D Printing & CNC as a base to start from with all of the individual pieces then undergoing a long process of hand work, assembly, hand painting & lacquer finishing to bring further quality, depth and feel to the magical creation. Through this process of mixing modern technology and classic hand crafting a unique characteristic is given to each of the items sometimes making the final piece feel as if it was just dug from an ancient tomb or discovered in the archives of some long lost traveling showman.
Due to the hand crafted nature of each of the pieces Anthony and his team can only produce a limited number of items each year with majority of the pieces going to collectors and enthusiasts from around the world.
