I recently bought CAPtivated by Alex Lourido and, I have to say, it was worth every penny! For those of you unfamiliar with CAPtivated, the effect is very simple. Two spectators hold and squeeze a different bottle cap each and the caps mysteriously change places! It can also be used to do a version of Three Card Monte, but using bottle caps! The gimmicks are really well made and will last forever (if you don't lose them!) and are very convincing. One minor problem is that one bottle cap must have been incorrectly researched as it is the wrong colour, however, you get more than enough gimmicks to perform the effects. Every time I have performed the effect, is has blown people away. This is a reputation maker! Buy it now!!!

From my perspective the 'monte' makes no sense - the bottle tops change into ones that weren't shown in the first place so this feels weak.

The two caps changing places is good but its all over in no time at all.

The fact that certain tops are wrong is also a downer for me - the trick isn't particularly cheap for what you get and you can't use everything.

If I lost mine I wouldn't buy a new set if I'm honest.
