If you do a search online for "billet switching apparatus," you will come across a variety of devices, the majority of which include boxes of different shapes and sizes, ranging from cardboard to perspex and antiqued oak. Some of these boxes are ingenious, some extremely expensive and some look like what they are, a magician's prop.

"This is embarrassingly good! I really hope this one is never seen on TV or the internet... it is that good. Scott provided me, quite by chance, a better solution to an effect that requires this sort of switch. I had a perfectly good envelope solution. But this is so clean and convicting, I am changing to this approach."
