Vitrum Ostium X - The Ark of Anubis

Introducing the X range—an evolving series of one-off creations, each produced alongside a current Reliquarium theme being worked on that month. These are not repeatable items. Once the theme shifts, so does the design, meaning no two months will yield the same artefacts.

The original Vitrum Ostium was one of the most versatile switch devices produced—Vitrum Ostium X builds on that foundation with increased strength and capacity. This edition can now switch heavier, bulkier items such as spirit slates, haunted keys, and other substantial performance props previously beyond its capabilities.

Vitrum Ostium X is still an elegant glazed reliquary, perfectly sized to display a Hand of Glory or a collection of miniature curios. Locked behind glass, your most precious items can be admired in a dust-free environment, it's a must-have for any collector of magical oddities.

But that's just the beginning.

Vitrum Ostium is also the world's first glass-topped switch box. Transparent switch boxes have been done before—but nothing like this. For the first time, switched items can appear outside the box. Imagine Card Through Glass—only in the palm of your hand. It can be used to perform transformations or to materialize 3D objects in what was an empty container moments ago. Perfect for seance work and apports.

Take everything you already know about switch boxes—then amplify it. The Vitrum Ostium's unique mechanism opens up a new range of magical effects. The contents stay in full view throughout, and the switch is so fast and so natural that you can even leave the box in a spectator's hands.

Included with Vitrum Ostium X is an extensive collection of performance material spanning over 100 pages. This archive includes multiple routines, presentations, and staging variations, along with a brand new routine involving spirit slates and a doll's house doll used as a trigger object—designed to deliver maximum unease and theatrical punch.
