I really like the effect that's presented, but I love/hate this gimmick. There are two specific
things I don't like about the gimmick, but I can't tell you what they are without giving away the
method. Needless to say, you will want to get a variety of bottles to practice at home -- find the
brands that work best, and avoid the others when you are in public.
That said, I'll tell
you that I don't even bother with the original effect anyway. I *far* prefer the alternate effect
and handling presented by Dan Harlan, which does not require you to even care about those bothersome
things I can't really mention. Because, with Dan's variation, they are a non-issue. In fact, Dan's
effect is far stronger, in my mind, looks fantastic, and makes the gimmick *totally* worthwhile.
So buy this. Definitely buy it. And if you discover those annoying imperfections, you can
ignore them. Don't whine about them in the forums (everyone else already has). Just do Harlan's
effect, and you'll be a happy camper, and glad you bought this product.

For the most part I have had great success with products Dan Harlan supports. This one is different.
The gimmick is unusual which is true. The only problem I have are the bottles I'm exposed to in
Canada. I tried three of the most common brands and neither one worked. So my main problem is the
fact that no one covers the best bottles to use for this in the DVD.
I feel as though I got
ripped off because of this. It's a great effect if you can find the right bottle, and the video
makes this thing look amazing. It all comes down to what you're exposed to in the end.

Very cool effect gets a lot of laughs and great reactions highly visual and super super suuuuuuper
easy handling this is something to do at a party a club or a bar or maybe just a small get together
either way it will drop jaws very cool very clean the gimmick was a little banged up when I got it
(scratches) but still works my favorite part of the DVD (45 min long) was dan Harlan's handling its
great my favorite one happens to be the one where you push the mouth of the bottle through a specs
shirt by the way everything can be borrowed including the bottle of course there are a few
restrictions as to what bottles you can use but as long as you stick to common drinks you should be
fine (Bud Light, Samuel Adams, Root Beer') the only reason I gave it a 4 star rating instead of 5 is
because I feel like $34 was a little steep for what you get I would have felt better paying $24 but
that's just me overall awesome effect super easy and practical not really any angle issues great
teaching.

I got this trick from the open box so i got it cheaper. I watched the dvd and I love this trick, if
you have the gimmick in your pocket then you are ready for a super awesome trick that is different
than the other tricks.

I was excited when I got this in the mail, the gimmick is what I thought it would be for the most
part. There are tons of applications this could be used for. If you work in resturants or bars you
should definitely purchase this!

This product is essential for all restaurant & bar workers or if just want to impress your friends
with something unusual.
The effect and gimmick is very practical also sure quality. The
reset is instantaneous. Once you've it your instantly ready to go again.
On the DVD all
bases are cover pretty well. Proper handling, if your doesn't fit, alternative handling & ideas.
This is certainly a well made product. Brandon & Chris did well in this project.
Devious is very sneaky and perfect for small get together, bars, and party's.
