I am interested in a coin through bottle effect from Richard Osterlind's Mind Mysteries Volume 4. A signed coin penetrates a glass coca cola bottle, the bottle has to be smashed to remove the spectators coin.

Sounds interesting. Can anyone shed any light on this effect from the DVD?

I believe this is called passing thru,though I have not bought it.

I think passin thru is by Kevin Parker, I have it and the bottle does not need to be smashed.

Unless there is another of the same maybe..

No thats a different version by Kevin Parker. I am interested in Richard Osterlind's Mind Mysteries Volume 4 coin through bottle effect.

Going back to the original post, yes I can.

I thought the whole Osterlind 1st series of DVD's (1-4) were excellent, & have used this trick in a pub/bar situation, it is a fantastic attention puller. Some/many lay people have 'knowledge' of gimmicked coins, so automatically think they know how this is done. The fact that they can sign THEIR coin before you touch it is incredibally strong.

Yes the effect requires you to do some preparation using a principle/fact that most people learnt & at school, but so what? The fact that the bottle is smashed in the way it is means that lots of people see this, so you do not need to do the trick for every table.

What I would say is do NOT just do the trick as presented in the DVD. If you think laterally/creatively there is MUCH more you can do with this trick (which I think/hope I do). I do not mean this a criticism on the DVD; the DVD as I said is excellent, what I am saying is take the principle & routine it to make it your own.

The effect in performance (in my opinion) far outweighs what you have to do at home; can't say more as this would breach forum rules.
