Mystery box

I saw this piece at annaramma , whose link I found at apartmentherapy.com . I go through AT off and on. They cover some awesome apartment makeovers. The website says Brian Mumford - The Crackpot inventor. The invention does sound very intriguing. The beautiful wooden box, felt-lined in the inside, just drags the interest of anyone nearby. But a sensor in the box detects motion when someone comes nearby, and the box lid slams shut, and does not open. When you step back for a few seconds, then slowly the box opens. Read the full website here , and more of the crackpot inventor's works.
