The Nothing Box

John Lennon with The Nothing Box - March 1966

An advert for The Nothing Box 1966

John Lennon met Magic Alex (Mardas) in 1967 an inventor of "The Nothing Box" when some of Alex Mardas' kinetic light sculptures were on display at the Indica Gallery (incidentally, the Indica is where John & Yoko first met). John was particularly taken with Magic Alex's "The Nothing Box," a plain box adorned with blinking lights that JL enjoyed staring at while tripping on acid..
