As a comedy magic performer I'm always looking for more ways to make people laugh and gasp at the same time. This is one of those rare ones that gets it done real fast!

I am incorporating this as part of my opener, after making a bowling ball appear.

The amazing part of it all is that it squeezes down to the pretty flat (about 2-3 inches) which allows you to produce from almost impossible places (a large manila envelope, etc.)

Or you could use it like the normal Vanishing Bottle routine as well, no problem.

No instructions came with mine, but it wasn't too tough to figure out what to do with it though it would be nice to have a few additional ideas.

I used a scissors to open up the place where air enters & exits because the original size made a whistling noise and it made the 'inflation' of the prop slower. After widening the opening, the whistling noise was gone and the prop almost pops open instantly, which is perfect.

It DOES get a few scratches and markings everytime you squeeze it flat and stuff but in all honesty, it makes it look MORE realistic!

If I had the money, I'd buy 10 and make it a running gag in my show!

This was cool but only lasted a month..

Very happy with this magic product. I have been looking to do a bowling pin production after I pull out my 100 foot mouth coil and this worked great already at a couple of shows. It is light weight, durable and very realistic. I highly recommend!

It's so Fuc***g realistic. When I opened it , I thought is was a true pin .
