Marty Crouch's magic chest
Marty Crouch's magic chest
Plural: Marty Crouch's magic chests
This unusual chest used to belong to a stage-magician-turned-hero named Marty Crouch. Reportedly inherited from his father, Slartibarty Crouch, it contains a nearly uncountable number of trick drawers and trap doors, behind which you might find anything or nothing.
Marty was particularly known for producing surprising and complicated "magic" tricks from this chest to stymie his opponents, though Marty was also famous (or perhaps infamous) for playing occasional pranks on his friends. Perhaps because of this reputation, when he one day disappeared during an Indian rope trick performance and never came back down, nobody bothered to go looking for him.
