Abyss (Ultimate Coin In Bottle)
Posted: Jun 24th, '05, 17:51The Effect
In Effect, the magician visually pushes a borrowed coin into an ordinary bottle. It is so visual people swear there must be a hole in the bottle......The next kicker is that the coin is completely normal as well....[both examinable yada yada]... finally, the best part, the coin is genuinly stuck inside....

Review
For the 'ultimate' coin in bottle this is pretty easy to do and is a great effect, perfect for when you want to leave your client with something to remember you by. Basically, you can take out an ordinary bottle( glass or plastic), empty out its contents, and make a coin appear to penetrate through the bottom of the bottle, even with the cap on. you can clearly show the coin stuck and then you can slip your business card in there and let them search for holes
Overall
I'd say its a great trick, but for what it is its a little expensive. The guide is short but thorough. The demo video on magictricks doesn't give the full effect of the trick. You do need to supply your own bottle, but you can clearly show that it is empty by puuring out the contents, shaking etc etc. It's reasonable clean, and you'll need to find your own way of perfection. There are mane thing you can vary with this trick, I use a 'technique' from Penguin Magic's Pop-Up trick, althoguh it doesn't really make much difference unless your specs are really into the trick. you can also do the trick with contents in the bottle, although, when 'cleaning up' your hands are likely to get sticky
