Circular Content Carousel with jQuery

The idea is to have some content boxes that we can slide infinitely (circular). When clicking on the “more” link, the respective item moves to the left and a content area will slide out.

Clicking on the closing cross will slide the expanded content area back in and animate the item to its original position.
