Only its done with a water bottle and Criss Angel did it with a beer bottle but I don't own it so I don't know if the type of bottle is important to the effect or not.

Behold the Scarabaeus can only be used with plastic bottles, which means you would not be able to perform the effect exactly as Criss Angel did. However, it does mean that you will have a very nice-looking effect on your hands if you do purchase it

Criss Angels version sucks, you can see exactly what he did on the video

I suppose it ooks alright to a layman but magicians don't have that much money to spend!

ooo, just to ask, has anybody bought Behold the Scarabaeus? I was thinking of maybe having it for christmas as it looks pretty cool.
I can guess that it uses a s*** but is it really worth buying?
