Hi guys im currently looking for a self breking bottle to use as a utility prop in another effect. I have seen these on the net but after looking again i cant seem to find them. Can any body help?

I'll second what's been said... you really need to introduce yourself and kind of prove that you're more than another lookilu trying to discover our resources and secrets.

That said, I will also point out to you that the most common method for what you are asking about has little to nothing to do with the "bottle" and the cheaper versions of it that I've seen in recent years, start at around $300.00 U.S.

There are numerous ways of accomplishing this effects depending upon the staging so I'd start investing into books on stage magic and effects development/special effects and of course Theatrical Effects... there's even a chemical method I'm aware of but won't recommend in that it is very toxic and highly dangerous.

Here's what you do. You need a stooge in the audience. Have them come on stage to examine the bottle. They do so, you tell them to sit back down in their seat. You point into the back of the audience and say behold! As everyone turn's their head you have the stooge pull out a semi-automatic weapon. You hold up the bottle they shoot it. When the audience turns around all they see is a smashed bottle and they're none the wiser.


it's a joke in case you were planning on bringing a weapon into a theater and spending quite a while in jail
