Coin Half Way Thru Bottle?

[JDENredden]

Hello I just made up a effects where unlike normal CIB's where the coin penetrates the bottle and ends up in side the bottle, my effect has the coin and bottle as one, like stuck half way thru and is completly exaimable and given as a suvoiner. Is there another effect like this?

have a video?

 

[Jakeh]

How is that magic? Explain.

 

[JDENredden]

Its magic becouse you are visually melting the coin half way thru the bottle. And hand the same signed bottle and signed coin to the spectator to keep for ever with the coin sticking half way out for ever. Sorry I dont have a video.

So what you're saying is that you have an effect, that you've probably done once (to the mirror)....you havent performed it, and therefore have no video?

YOu know, i have the exact same thing...I get a bottle, cut a hole, stick a coin halfway through it, and I'm done.

Sounds good eh?

CAN I PUBLISH IT??

Dude, that was a little harsh. No need to be so sarcastic Mr. Grumpy Gus. But, it would be good to see a video Jaydinho. As far as I know, I've never heard of an effect like the one you're describing. Peace!

That's all I wanted to know. The way I thought of it, I could just press really hard and eventually make a hole.

One thing though, wont people ask "Well, if you're so good, make it go right into the bottle?"

Wow, somebody woke up on the wrong side of the Jerrys. No need to bash the kid, he's just asking a question.

As far as I know, there is no effect where you push the coin halfway through the bottle. It sounds good, but the only flaw would be the audience might ask you to push it through all the way, as Jakeh said.

Maybe you could turn it into a two-phase routine, where you first push it halfway in, and then you push it all the way in. I say this because then it will be more of a complete routine.

Exactly.

To other magicians this effect might seem incredible and innovative, but to a lay-person it's just going to confuse them. There are so many questions that will remain unanswered after the performance. Remember, clarity is one of the big keys to a strong effect. For example...

• Why can't you push the coin all the way through?
• Why did you push the coin into a bottle?
• Is this supposed to be magic, or a display of strength?
• Why is he using a coin, instead of the bottle cap?

There's a very good chance that your audience will have never seen a coin through bottle penetration before. Therefore, it's going to be hard for them to understand what you are doing in the first place. You don't really want to confuse the issue by adding an extra little bit of magic like this, it might give them ideas about methods. Keep it simple and direct.

I was pretty much going to say what Cory said but then he already did.

Here's what I have to add though. I really can't see a way that a coin can be permanently stuck halfway through a bottle. If it is halfway through, then there's obviously a hole at the point of penetration. Since you say they can have the bottle, an illusion of the coin halfway through would be discovered with thorough inspection.

So how can it be permanent given such a case? More importantly, what's stopping you from just adding a little more push to get the coin through? The coin is largest across its center, or diameter, so if you manage to get that part through, surely the rest of the coin should be no problem. If it's halfway through, it's like you can slip the coin in and out.

Definitely work it into a routine. Pushing a coin halfway through a bottle, and yet leaving the bottle undamaged is what you're looking for. Proceed to push it in completely, move it around, etc. Maybe your original idea would work with objects other than coins and bottles.

Kevin James has lecture notes featuring a multi-phase coin in the bottle routine in which the coin becomes stuck halfway through the bottle at the end due to a mangled magic word.

 

[JDENredden]

I have been playing around with it. And I have a made kinda a little routine. 2 coins are signed one is pushed straight thru the bottle the other coin is then stuck halfway thru.

What I'd like to see is a signed bottle through coin.

[KeenanG]

The above made me laugh.

Haha,

I think the true question is, what's the point of even putting a coin all the way through the bottle?

There is not any point, besides to show the people that things that seem impossible, are possible. So why not put the coin only halfway? Seems pretty interesting to me. Than, why not push the whole coin through the bottle?

I like it,

post a vid now you've got a camera

 

[heavymetalholic]

can the bottle be full with liquid?

I never heard of such a effect. it would be cool if you had it on film

I also think you should turn it into a 2 phase routine however first you push it all the way through and then half way and give it to them as a souvenir

 

[JDENredden]

Ok Ill try to make a video soon. The bottle can not be filled with water at the point of penatration. But once penatrated you can shake the bottle around. An let the spectator have for ever, with the coin stuck halfway thru with another coin in there for ever. I know some of use will think that the coin is just sitting there and you can just push it in all the way. Well this is not the case. It is actually stuck there. You can see some of the plastic melted on the coin.
