J.J. Abrams has never been reticent when it comes to talking about his love for the mystery box. Not only was it the subject of his 2007 TED Talk, it was the basis for his WIRED issue as guest editor. But Abrams’ mystery box is no longer an abstract concept or metaphor.

It is, however, for sale.

Yes, the mystery box can be yours for a cool $149.95. Constructed by magicians collective S. Or just a really, really expensive set of playing cards for suckers. Regardless, proceeds from the sale of the box (or just a pack of the cards, available for $9.95) go toward 826 National, the non-profit dedicated to promoting creative writing in schools and workshops across the United States.

Find out more—but not much more, because this is meant to be a mystery—here.
