Just digged out criss angel's dvd - quarter in soda can after leaving in rot for about a year in the 'box of discarded mystery items' we all have and love.

Love the routine but can't seem to work any decent cans. My main problem is finding a can with a large enough base and big enough rim. Ive found Strongbow 500ml cans have an exceptional base, which can be tilted slightly downwards before all is revealed but the rim is a git.

Sorry if this has been posted before, but couldnt seem to find it on the search list.

cheers,

just when you think that you've found a can that suits, those marketing types go and change the design

I've tended to stick with the cola tins and change the coin (favoured is a 20p)

Oh- thats surprising. Does the 20p edge not hinder the initial vabish at all?

I've not done this one for ages, I found that a 20p workded better than a 10p as well. It shouldn't make any difference to the initial vanish as long as you're a little careful.

I've never had a problem with the 20p as LoMster has added and I too found it easier than the 10p. The only thing that the 10p had going for it was it's bigger but if it don't go in - then it's no good!

Funilly enough, I have been thnking for a few weeks about resurrecting this DVD and haven't got around to it yet. Maybe now's the time

never a time like the present

20p or 10p are fine with normal cola cans.

Just remember one thing that i forgot. If you do use a strongbow (which i dont recomend) the vanish has to be done very carefully. I did the whole thing of smashing through the bottom (you know whats coming) when it came to the reveal.... Opps early cider shower. With all the laughter and spray I could have pulled out an elephant (if you know the trick you will understand). So thats my advice. I got a better reaction but not the one I was looking for. Luckly, it was at a freinds BBQ and i must confess to drinking a few of the ciders first.

Great trick though..

I actually performed this 20 mins ago to show a new starter.

Forgot to check the can when it came out of the vending machine and, yep, it was a different design can - cue bad finger but it was ok. I'll stick to Sprite as they are always good from the machine.

I also use Stella cans too - shame we cannot have these in work though......
