repeating prohibition?

Just wondering what you guys think about repeating this trick? Do you think it should be done or no?

A definate no, I think.

I've been doing a similar effect before Prohibition came about, and one thing I think is the bonus is to leave it right there once you finish.

When I first saw Prohibition, I liked the refined handling of the cap-to-bottle, but I still don't think it should be shown again.

I agree with Seige. When performing you should have enough effects with you so that you don't need to perform anything again.

Second time around the specs know what is going to happen so there is no element of surprise. They can therefore spot the most secrets with alarming frequency if this rule is ignored.

Leave them to think about what they have seen rather than giving them another opportunity to work out what they have seen.

On the DVD, there are several alternate methods that can be used if you really really want to do it again. My favorite is to do a striking vanish with the cap after the secret move.
