Hey,

This is a trick I made up...

Again, nice effect.

My only problem with this effect, and others in this genre - is that more and more of these variations are either moving away from, or completely forgetting about what is the most magical part of the effect.

The object that is now in the bottle - shouldn't be able to GO IN THE BOTTLE.

How good is the effect, if the spectator can drop the object into the bottle, himself. Coin in bottle/Cap in bottle effects play stronger, because the spectator CAN'T get the object in there, no matter what they do.

This effect, and your method is very nice for creating the illusion - but regardless of how flawless your presentation is - if the object that is inside the bottle easily fits inside the bottle - then they always have an "out" to detract from the strength of the effect.

I have similar reservations with the Prohibition effect. A bent bottle cap can easily go into a bottle - so I feel the "magic" is diminished here.

I will say one thing - your method is very clever. You may have some trouble with the initial misdirection (which is easily fixed the more you perform the effect) but your timing of the penetration is very good.

this is much better then your other performance, it looks like you don't need my advice now.

i agree with demitri. this is the one thing i don't like about Infushion. the impossible is taken away.

but very good!

It can't easily go into a bottle that has a cap on it! That is why i love that effect so much!

That was a pretty nice trick! Very smooth and good looking, despite the fact that the prop can fit inside anyways, but I don't think the specs would really notice that much.

I think I've figured it out myself, all except for one part though...

i think the one problem with the whole thing is....it's a thimble i mean, how many people carry thimbles around with them?

This is just a suggestion to make the trick better. Could you possibly do it with a bottle that is newly bought and sealed? Get a sealed bottle and pass the thimble into the bottle. Then open the bottle, pour out the contents and the thimble. I think it would vastly improve the trick.
