Thanks

Anybody? If I want this for christmas then i gotta order soon!

talkin to myself

Ok good idea! Looking forward to reading your review..

I have this and it can be a great effect, depending on if you mind the bottle not being examinable with the phone inside. If this is a problem for you then this effect is not for you. If on the other you can see past this, then this effect is great.
As well as the phone in bottle, you get Fort Knox coins to bottle. This is a great coins to bottle effect whwere you penetrate a whole pile of the specs change into a borrowed bottle.
Like I said though, some will dismiss this because of thhe bottle not being examinable with the phone inside (though with smaller items I have found that its possible to let the spec have a quick look). If you have any questions i'll do my best to answer. Thanks.

Can the bottle be shown in your hands? [I can still only think of one way it can be done...] like instead of giving it out, can you hold it in your hands and swivel to show all sites and angle sof the bottle?

If I was to buy this [I have emailed magic.org for dates on delivery for christmas, but still no reply!] can i ask if it would be good for sort of close up, as I don't do stage or far away magic.

Last quesiton, is what comes in the pack good, like are the instructions clear and is the gimick of a good quality?

Its possible to show the bottle yourself, but depending on what effect you do depends on how freely you can show the bottle.
I don't do stage either, and ive heard quite a few people say that this is only really good for that or tv, but I don't feel this way.
Infact, just the other day I performed Fort-Knox and let them have a quick hold of the bottle and it blew them away. You do have to be careful but with proper audience management you should be fine.
You get an instructiuonal cd (but this is still yet to work) and instructional sheet with clear instructions. You also get an insta-ditch, knife and gimmick. These things are of good quality.

Tell you what, i'll try and buy it soon then and we can both experiment

FINAL DECISION:

£33 it just way too much for something like this.

Agreed plus it would look more impressive with a glass bottle.

in the glass bottle routine the method can be seen (Original text edited by Mods due to it being exposure) so the glass bottle routine is not too impromptu or too clean. Now, is it possible to do it with a coke bottle? is posible to do it with a soda bottle instead of a water bottle? are those plastic "waves" in the bottle necesary?
please post
