I've only watched the first minute with the demo. My guess is that the entire tube is moved to the left and two other slots at top and bottom are revealed with short bits of tube, pulled in from the right. What gives it away is that for a brief moment the tube disappears. Assuming I'm correct, my suggestion to make this better would be to use non-patterned paper on the tube and to paste flat sections of the paper on the internal sliding parts so that the top and bottom tubing don't seem to disappear as the section is slid to the left or right. 🙂
That hologram sheet sticker brings the right amount of attention grab for this illusion's effect. Nice contrast with the gloss black panels.

I built the squeeze box and it came out great. Looks like I'm heading back to store for more foam board to build this one now.
Absolutely ingenious! I kept guessing and couldn't get it until you revealed the gimmick. That's what magic is all about, the wonderment 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You forgot to show the added piece on the back that you promised. (At the end).
I would like these more if you would do the reveal before the build details. I won't be making it but want to see the reveal.
great trick
this is called zig zag wand.
Can you make a color changing cd box would love to make that for Sunday school lesson.
l'll have to give it some thought.
34.2 cm x 15.2 cm I think :) Good job.
