Abyss – The Revolutionary Coin in Bottle
(Not to be confused with ‘Abyss – The Ultimate Coin in Bottle’ which has been around for a number of years - http://www.talkmagic.co.uk/ftopic6058.php ).
The Effect: (copied & pasted from the ad’s description)
The Enchantment presents ABYSS - The Revolutionary Coin in Bottle. Now you can perform the Ultimate Coin in Bottle routine with more revolutionary means, more possibilities, more practicality, and more impact.
Effect
The magician visually pushes a borrowed coin through and into 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 any holes, slits, or openings of any kind. The coin is completely normal as well. That’s right. The coin and the bottle are both ordinary, everyday, common items. No trick bottles, no trick coins. Everything is regular. The next kicker is that the coin is genuinely trapped inside the bottle and impossible to get out. The coin is far too large to get in or out of the bottle and remains fixed permanently in this impossible condition.
But that is not all...
The bottle is 100% Completely Sealed! The seal is unopened and has never been tampered with in any way…ever! Finally, this completely sealed bottle, with a coin trapped inside, that is too large to get in or out of the bottle, can be immediately handed out to your spectators for thorough examination, and as an astonishing keepsake. Needless to say, this is a genuine reputation maker.
ABYSS is packed full of totally new and original concepts, techniques, unbound possibilities, self-working presentations, as well as an authentically signed small coin in permanently sealed bottle routine where you give away an incredible souvenir.

Review
Surprisingly to some, the ad is true.
I have the old Abyss so I didn’t doubt the possibility of this ad.
Set-up:
This new Abyss blows away the old one. If you know the old one, you know the set-up was both time consuming and sometimes difficult. With the new Abyss, not only is there the addition of the sealed bottle feature, but the set-up is almost automatic. However, you will need a very brief period in private. Also, you carry very little to nothing with you to do this trick. These features make it especially practical.
Another key point to make is that unlike the old Abyss, this one has no clean-up.
The ad says this is a reputation maker and it is. You give away an impossible object. They keep it, go home with it, show their friends, word spreads…
I had great success with the old Abyss, this one is even more impossible.
Overall
Overall I don’t think you can go wrong here. It is an amazing trick with a killer outcome. It is the kind of trick you will have a lot of opportunities to perform because coins and bottles are everywhere, and the set-up is so practical. I have bought a number of other coin in bottle tricks that are on the market, some are quite good, but this one has it all. Highly Recommended because magicians will definitely use this.
