Walk up to spectator borrow their empty bottle and visually penetrate their cap into the bottle. To take it a step farther the cap is "Trapped" in the bottle, and before we forget to mention, the CAP IS SIGNED.

If you have ever wanted to perform the classic visual cap in bottle effect without the use of a PK ring then Trapped is the effect for you. Trapped teaches several very easy methods to accomplish the cap in bottle effect, on the spot, impromptu, with borrowed bottles. There are methods that are 100% impromptu, there are methods that require a very small amount of setup and there is a gimmick included that will make performing this effect way too easy. What separates Trapped from other effects on the market is that the methods taught on this DVD were specifically thought out for the person who wants to ditch the sleight of hand and focus on performing a simple close up effect that people will remember for years. For those who like the sleight of hand, don't worry, we included some of that in there too.

Important Points To Remember:

-Easy to perform
-Many different methods
-The cap can be signed
-The cap is Trapped in the bottle and can be given away as a souvenir

Running Time Approximately: 1 hr
1 gimmick included

NOTE: DVD mentions that an extra unit of the gimmick has been included. The Vendor has since removed the extra unit.

Tutorial bored me to death Report this review

Meh! He went on and on for what could have been explained in 15 minutes. The exicution is indeed simple, however, it cannot be performed with ANY borrowed bottle as he claims. The label placement is very key to masking the gimmick. I'm at the bar right now and over half the beer bottles I'm seeing would never work. But that's OK. Just use one that will. The one option for disappearing the cap utilizing the table is subject to a high failure rate without background noise and low lighting. Probably not something I will perform too often unless the conditions are just right. I picked it up in the Cool Box so no big deal because it was the cost of a drink. But definately not worth $25

TRAPPED Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 12th, 2015
I bought this as an open box item. Thank God!!! The trick isn't bad (at least the "in-hand" version) but the dvd should have been edited a lot better. The performances of the table version (in a kitchen) were laughable. Someone would have to be CRAZY to try that after seeing how well it didn't work for Jordan. I paid less than $10 with shipping so I can't complain too much. However, you don't need a PK ring and there is an impromptu version (but not near as visual). In the end, the trick is worth it if you can get it for a cheap price.

Boring & not straight to the point Report this review

Wasting the $25 for the 1 hour tutorial. Keep talking the same and same thing over and over again.

OK Report this review

Once the concept is understood, you will have to come up with your own handling. Forget the table technique.

Could be a decent effect, but better ones out there Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 14th, 2017
I got this as an open box item, so I didn't pay the full amount for it and am generally not unhappy with the price to product ratio I got it for, though I think I would've been had I paid full price. This isn't so much a bad effect as it is a comparatively lesser one - ie, there are better tricks to spend your money on.

-Though it has nothing to do with the trick, the production quality on the DVD is lower than what you'll find on more current tricks (but admittedly better than other DVDs I've bought). Take that at face value - it has nothing to do with the trick or the effect, but it was the first thing I noticed.

- There's not a natural way to start the trick. He talks about bringing it up in a bar where there are already bottles, but the setup required doesn't lend itself to natural transitions out of conversations you have in a bar.

- It's potentially easy to see what's happening. I think a spectator would get this trick easier than they would get another trick, and therefore it wouldn't amaze them as much as others.

- For me at least, the effect doesn't have a bit enough "wow" impact. It's kind of cool, but a quick French drop would impress people more, and that a ton easier to less time consuming to present.

I give Jordan a ton of credit for thinking through the routine and putting this together. There’s definitely a lot of thought put into this. But for me the production time necessary to produce it is not worth the level of reactions I think it would produce, and so I won’t be putting it into my routine.

Cool idea, Poor Misleading execution Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 26th, 2016
I purchased this item thinking I would get some decent ideas and presentations since I'm sure we all know the only way to get a cap in a bottle. I did walk away with a decent idea, but that's about it. The hype for this is very misleading and others claim that the only idea I walked away with has been around for some time. So I'm guessing if you have any insight to this effect you may already know the "secret"
The signature piece intrigued me very much, but it's not practical at all!! Without giving too much away or be edited, you have to ask a spectator to do something that you NEVER do if you're asking them to sign something. Hope this helps. And if you're completely oblivious to this effect and can get it for 10 or less pick it up....but with low expectations and be ready to put your own handling into action. Also you will NEVER USE HIS "TABLE" METHOD.

So So. Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 9th, 2014
The ideas in Trapped are nothing new and Jordan's handlings are ok, but not exactly elegant. If you haven't purchased other bottle cap in bottle effects, there are some decent ideas in this dvd that, with some thought, you can improve upon yourself. If that's not your thing, then save your money, as there are better effects on the market with handlings that are more deceptive.
