Fun and practical, a worker for sure. This is going directly into my set.

The coin into the Starbucks bottle is such a smart idea. He has thought of everything for this
effect! And the other one where the a signed borrowed coin can penetrate a full bottle of water is
brilliant. I would say it’s a game changer. You literally push it right into the bottle in real
time! Wish I could say more but I can’t without giving away the secret so do yourself a favor and
buy this download!!!

Super Easy and workable material, the cap in bottle is worth the price of the download alone, so
clever and will save you money compared to others on the market.

My posted video of me performing the coin through full water bottle has got a lot of chatter and a
lot of views. The bottle label came off so I just performed it that way and it is even more
powerful.
John has 3 fun and overall easy effects to do. I think he gives great detail in teaching and they
are fun and easy to perform. I look forward to what else John comes up with! What a great price for
three cap in bottle effects!
In this release John describes three methods to impossibly put an object (coin or bottle cap) in a
bottle. He has obviously put a lot of thought into the effects. He explains them in detail, and
gives useful tips for each one. Highly recommended.
Sometimes I am wary on magic downloads by independent creators, because a lot of the time I'm left
disappointed. However, this one caught my eye. The ad copy claims it can be used for real life, and
instagram. In most of my experience, to me this means very angle and very situational. However I
found that was not the case. I am gonna lay out the pros and cons for each effect.
Starbuckks-
Pros: Uber visual, adaptable to other bottles (I love to use pop bottles as the glass bottles aren't
common in my area) and you get this really nice clean vanish. Instant reset
Cons: I
think the way the effect is left clean is a little shaky in the routine shown. I think it's a good
way to clean up, but I think it should happen at another time. Just my own opinion though. 5/5
Splash- This one fooled the crap out of me. Not to talk method, but I just thought dupe coin and
it wouldn't be impossible to rig it up so it drops. However, that is not the case here at all, it
can be signed!
Pros-Super visual, able to be signed, Multiple handlings to give a different
visual.
Cons-Bit of a reset time. Can't really carry it on you so to speak. You couldn't just
whip a bottle out of your backpack and do it. You would need that reset time and for me it makes it
more of a instagram trick. I think it is workable, just too much time to get it set up for my case
for every day situation. For that reason I rate it a 4/5
Commando CIB- This to me is the
easiest handling most standard trick on here. You take the cap and it just goes through the bottle.
Pros- Left fully examinable, easy set up, easy to carry around and really a "worker"
Cons-
It's not quite as visual as the others, but I think it's worth it for it being super practical. You
could also play around with handlings to make it more visual. However, I think this trick is a great
to add to your walk around sets. 5/5
As far as production quality, it looks like it was
shot on a phone, and then has a repeating track in the background. The film quality as a result
isn't Paul Harris style, but it is more than enough to teach you what's going on, and doesn't leave
you with any questions. The repeating track volume got a little loud at some points for me, and I
would have preferred it just to be the video. Just personal opinion though, and again it doesn't
leave you with questions. The video runs a little over 30 minutes, and gives ample time to cover all
of John's nuances he has came up with while performing, as well as construction.
All in
all, these tricks are worth the 10 dollars. I think there is something for everyone here. I rate
this product 5/5, and would highly recommend it if you are looking to add some walk around material
that isn't cards.
Absolutely love this rountine it’s a great well working up close visual and video trick that works
I’m not disappointed
I have been a fan of cap and coin in bottles for years. Even released a couple versions myself.
What John has brought to the table is some innovative ways to do 3 different versions of
cap/coin in bottle.
Let me just say this. Splash looks like a camera trick. Super cool.
Also the commando cap in bottle I have a $40 gimmick that John has figured out how to make without
anything other than a cola bottle.
Fun new methods if you are a cap/coin thru bottle fan.
