I Have Often Seen Puzzle Boxes In Movies,

in fact as a kid I had one where you could make a coin disappear, 


but these puzzle boxes are 10 levels up on that one! 

each box has the most complicated mechanism you can imagine, until it is explained how to open it, and even then it is complicated!

Kagen Sound has since being a child been fascinated by puzzle boxes,

after 20 years of working with wood and taking advantage of his background in maths, he produces the most amazing puzzle boxes,

the Wired team visited Sound’s garage studio, and made this fascinating video, 

it is a mug of coffee long, and a treat to watch, the designer uses simple joinery techniques to formulate springs, geometric slides, and elegant motifs made with interlaced materials. “A lot of times if I can determine a finish for a particular kind of wood, it will unlock a project in itself,” and his skills have not gone unrecognized, his boxes have brought Sound international recognition as one of the best puzzle box designers in the world, as well as watching the above video you can watch more at Sound’s Instagram and YouTube to see his projects in action, the full story was found here The Kids Should See This, I would be so worried about breaking one trying to open it, but what fun it would be trying one!
