I can't do much with those videos... The rectangle is definitely a left-right vs. right-left but that seems to obvious. I can't see you open the round one to figure out how that's done. Very creative though. Have you mass-produced these or are they one-offs?

When we give gift cards as gifts we often put them in one of these "puzzles" you have to solve before you can release the card. One was just a plastic marble maze, but one was an electronic multiple-choice test where you had to answer all the questions correctly to open it. Good for some laughs.

they are my own creations, yes.
i guess it helps to know too that hundreds of people have tried 'hands-on' to open these and have not been able to.
i did a magic thing at the local renfaires.

remember, hundreds of renfaire-goers have handled these and tried everything short of a hammer to open the one or to get the marble out of the other. the marble box is solid oak, 1/2" thick top, bottom and side pieces....it HAS to be that thick of wood to withstand all the tugging, twisting and pulling by hundreds of victi...i mean, spectators.

What are some of the most memorable questions, suggestions and comments you had from people at the renfairs who tried opening them?
