Magician’s Chest: A magician’s chest is actually a very complex piece of equipment that contains a falls bottom designed to allow access to the center stage door. The chest is also rigged to fall apart very easily. In addition to adding a +2 circumstance bonus to a character’s Hide attempts when he uses the box for it’s intended purpose anyone can cause the box to fall apart noisily by inflicting one point of damage on it. This sudden noise causes a distraction that someone can take advantage of to make a Hide skill check. A magician’s chest costs 100 gp.
