* This trope is inverted in the ''WesternAnimation/RazzberryJazzberryJam'' episode “Disappearing Act”, as stage magician Tesla introduces the Jazzberries by having them step out of a seemingly-empty box, which grows larger every time one of them exits it. This sequence ends with the box itself (apparently) transforming into Ella.

* ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh'' has the card Mystic Box, which destroys one of your opponent's monsters in exchange for giving them control of one of your monsters. The effect was slightly different in the card's first appearance in the anime, where it was used to destroy one monster while teleporting another into the destroyed monster's position, when the card was used in a variant of the game where monsters had to navigate through a maze. Its effect is depicted by having one monster enclosed in a box which is then pierced with swords, then the second monster being enclosed in another box, then the two boxes opening to reveal they have switched positions so the second monster was pierced with the swords instead while the first monster is unharmed.
