I have seen a some talk on the forum lately about Abyss and i just thought i would give people another review to look at
The Effect:
"You visually push a borrowed coin through an ordinary bottle. It is so visual people swear there must be a hole in the bottle. But the bottle is completely normal, free of holes of any kind. HAND IT OUT FOR THE SPECTATOR TO KEEP."

Cost:
$13.50
Difficulty:
(1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)
2-3 (really low 3, definetly a 2 with a bit of practice...really only one sleight)
Review:
Personally, I think this is a good trick and if you are into this type of effect you should own this. It is a bit expensive and the gimmick ditch is a pain but if it is practiced enough its gets a lot easier. You can use pretty much any bottle you would like, be it glass or plasic. You can perform it with the top on and the contents of the drink inside the bottle but i suggest that you pour out the contents first. By doing this you are also telling the spectator that the bottle is empty without actually telling them. After the coin penetrates the bottle, the coin is permanetly stuck in the bottle forever! This makes a great keepsake for you spectators. Give it to one of them and let them fight over it
Overall:
This can be a great effect if performed properly and at the right time. This can be handed out as a momento for them to keep forever. And the best part is they will never find anything at all besides the coin permanetly stuck inside the bottle of course
. The gimmick is really simple and the initial setup isnt as hard as many people make it out to be. It might take you a while the first time to set it up and by a while i mean about 10 minutes or less. And of course it gets easier and easier everytime. Its a great way to truely mystify your spectators and a good way to end your coin routine. If you are thinking about buying this, do it.
