Can't get the right bottle. Explanations are amateurish. Gimmick obvious. It reminded me when I did
my first ever performance - I was all set to burn a £20 note and shock the audience. I burned the
note and then realised I had mucked up the switch. I actually burned a £20 note. Well this trick
was like doing the same. I lost £20. What a waste of time, money and effort.
I have
always been of the opinion that even the worst effect hides a gem that can be used. I have now
revised that opinion. This trick has no gem. It is a complete waste of money.

This trick would have been nice if it came with a bottle! For the last three days ,my wife and I
have been in several stores,and can not find the bottle cap type that is needed.Waist of money!

The DVD instructions leave a lot to be desired. After describing that you should cut a knotch in the
bottle that is being used, the magicians then DO NOT TELL YOU HOW THE KNOTCH IS USED. NOR DO THEY
TELL YOU WHAT TO DO WITH THE "rubber type" BAND THAT IS LEFT HANGING. In all my years of buying
"magic" tricks, this DVD is the worst in the department of "explanations. Also, I am finding it
difficult to locate a bottle (though if I do, I'm not sure how to set it up because of the poor
instructions.

The idea was great, but the video of explanation is week, and as others said, hard to make the
gimmick, for you can not find the right bottle and it is not as easy as they make it sound. i think
with that price.. they should supply the gimmick too, at least you will get to enjoy it once.

I am sorry I bought this item as the bottle can't be found. Why not make it available to those that
bought the item for a price? I guess my comments are some what mundane as I have not been able to
preform the magic..

It's a very interesting idea BUT its just not practical the set up can be a pain nothing can be
borrowed nothing can be examined and it dosent always work the only reason I gave it 2 stars instead
of 1 is because you could tell that these guys actually tries plus I liked the concept.

The idea behind the effect is fantastic. There is a problem though....finding the "right" bottle.
Seems like it should be simple enough,but it isn't. Don't get me wrong,the effect is
mindblowing....It's just a huge hassle finding the bottle and if you do find one,it's not going to
be something that people will be familiar with which in turn will raise eyebrows and dampen the
effect.

Good luck finding the right bottle. Just a waste of time and money and guess what I was able to get
this trick for free from an open box auction
I just had to pay the $5.95 shipping. I am not
trying to be ungrateful, but feel the shipping was a waste of money. The instructions are okay,
however I am not convinced the setup will work as well as shown in the advertisement presentation.
Not worth $24.95 No way! This trick reminds me of a magic trick on the back of a Kids Cereal Box.
Just Junk, sorry no no no.
Save your money

The idea behind this effect is brilliant, but it could have been created a little better. The fact
that you need to use a gimmick that may be discovered very easily is disappointing. The fact that if
a spectator just so happens to grab the bottle to check things out before you can do your clean up
is a let down. On the other hand, the effect, when done correctly, is beautiful. I recommend it, but
only to people who are good with audience management.
