The folding coin in bottle.

Postby TheTrickery » Dec 16th, '06, 19:47



Hey all, i got a folding 2p for a coin in bottle routine and it works well except for one thing.
In modern coin magic it states "shoot the coin out" when u have to apparently remove it from the bottom. I'm having trouble trying to get it to come out. It may be the fact that im using a plastic bottle. Would a glass one work better? I tried shaking it, jolting it, everything but they only way it will come out is if i grab it and pull.
Please help.

The more gradual the bottle tapers toward the mouth the better....many pop bottles for example have a stubby neck and when you shake it, their is not gaurnatee the coin will hit the opening of the bottle (hope that makes sense) Other bottles.....Perrier water bottles for example, the taper all the way to the opening, so no matter how you shake the bottle, the coing will head straight toward the opening.......let me know if this makes sense and helps at all.....PM me if you wish!

There is coin in bottle and there is coin in bottle! For the classical handeling where the spectator is directly involved see for example "Coin in Bottle" on Commercial Classics by Johhny Thompson (VOL 3).

Magic is slight of mind!
