Magic Tricks

Hi! This is your official PenguinMagic reviewer, B_Magic.

Coin in Bottle is an effect I used to do, but don't really like it too much anymore. It had a couple variations you could do with it (like a coin bite as well as in the bottle routine), but in the end the cons outweighed the pros and the effect got shelved.

For me, it's too gimmicky and fragile. I've had them break on me several times and I've had to replace them. Also, it's been revealed on television, and is HUGELY revealed online, so that is something else to deal with. Finally, it's just not a KILLER effect. I mean, it can be very good, and especially for a beginning magician this could be a great tool to have, but for the cons I think there are much better effects out there.

If you want it, I'd say go for it. But I don't think this is something that will stick in most people's arsenal for too long.
