Factory sealed

Postby uchihaperi » Feb 19th, '10, 20:44



Hi, I bought factory sealed a few months back and has used it, but after a while I got sick of it :( and left it in my closet. After some time I found it and did it but I wanted to improve it so I came up with an idea to let the spectator to sign to coin. I have tested it to some people and seem to work and if anyone would like to know how it's done PM me (I hope that is not the same thing as reveal it) but I think many who have the trick knows how to do that :) .(please tell me if this is okay or not to do this......) :?

There have been a multitude of "versions" and "improvements" to the coin in bottle trick. I don't think any of them have moved the trick forward, even an inch. It is impossible to put a large coin in a bottle! If you start out with an empty bottle and cause a coin to penetrate, signing it will not make it better.

I suppose the thinking is that your average layperson is aware of "funny" coins. They are not! Additionally, various handling techniques will convince them that all is kosher. If they are already convinced that the coin and bottle are real and normal, what benefit is there to having it signed?

Just my opinion. First time I did this trick was over 40 years ago. It is as strong today as it ever was.
