Looks really good, seems to have gotten some bad reviews, though. I once saw Cris Angel do this, but he did it with a glass beer bottle. I wonder if that's harder.

I'm sure this method can only be performed with a plastic bottle

Yes, I'm aware of the method of this trick. If you are lookin to buy this because of what you saw Criss perform on his 'Party' episode, don't buy it. This method can only be done with plastic bottles and is NOT worth the price. The gimmick is pretty idiotic and makes quite some noise.

What about the version with a glass bottle, is that one more effective and the gimmick less obvious?

well im guessing the gimmick in the glass bottle is probably just as hard to conceal. Im not sure if i remember correctly, but when the phone started to ring, he near enough straight away broke the glass against the table leg before inspection which could have then cleaned up pretty easily.

mhh...can be done with a coke bottle? I don't care if the bottle can't be inspected, I don't care the noise and I don't care the price, the only thing I want to kno is that you can really do it with any bottle..please
