What is a Trick Box?

Well, a Trick box is a Controller that is used to enhance a display or presentation. A voice or music (or any audio) message
can be recorded into the Trick-Boxs' memory.

The Trick-Box also has another important feature - that is a built-in relay circuit that can be used to control any
external operation.

Now, combine those two features together and you have MAGIC!

How so ?  Well take a look at these scenarios .............

1) You are at a Theme or Amusement Park, you walk are walking through a 'Fun Tunnel'. Suddenly a Ghost leaps out at you
   and screaches "BOOOoo".   The next person walks past and the Ghost leaps out and screams "AHA-Ha-haaaa"!!!
 
The Trick-Box can record many messages that are played when triggered consecutively or as a continuous loop.

2) You are in a Supermarket and walk past a shelf of Washing Powder. Suddenly a wonderful display of dazzling lights
   comes on and a cheerful voice informs you of the special Offer today on Bozo's Washing Powder.

3) You are relaxing at a museum, and every display you approach lights up and a voice tells you about the items on display.

The three scenarios above are ways in which the Trick-box can be used. The possibilities are endless.

The many features incorporated in the Trick-box enable one to configure the unit to accomodate your particular requirements.
