It's because you can't let them examine the bottle immediately, makes it not as convincing as handing it to them and letting them break the seal like in the original effect Factory Sealed that hit the magic world years ago when it was first introduce to the IBM.
I don't know, this pretend handling jazz to me is something anyone can do.
It's nice for impromptu situations, but not as strong.
The whole idea behind the penetration and bottle position is not at all original.
I don't get this "handling" to pretend to open a bottle to be orignal either.
The one nice original thing though, was Jeremy Hanrahan's hold...That was good.
I hope to see more of Jeremy. He had some innovative ideas that I found original.
Cheers to gentleman Jeremy Hanrahan!
Those methods are not very practical and quite time consuming
The more practical the better.
I look forward to learning the most practical and most effective.
The original Factory Sealed effect is said to be a monster.
Most effective penetration that IS practical and STILL way ahead of anything poppin up these days. It's nice to have alternate routes though, but I'll keep my sites out for the classic effect that the pros in the magic world have cherished for so long.
So sorry you don't like my handling, i didn't expect everyone to. Thanks for the nice comments guys, but you won't change his mind. Atleast he is happy with Jeremys contribution.
Now, when i create effects, i dont think 'What will other Magicians like and use...'. I create for what will work for me, when i perform. Now, to me, performing a factory sealed version isn't practical, or a worker. Why? Because you would have to have lots of set up sealed bottles!
When i perform, i use the same bottle over and over, and it is the bottle i drink out of after, and AT each table, as when you talk, your mouth can get a little dry. Spectators dont care that the coin was too big to come out, or if it was factory sealed, a coin penetrated a bottle, thats the magic part! Solid thru solid! now, yes there are bonuses for that one off factory sealed, bigger coin version, but it doesnt work at EVERY table how i intended myself to perform it. I created it for ME, for ME to use at MY gigs.
As for impromptu handlings...how can you get stronger? What would you be more impressed with, impromptu, or the knowledge of a few hour set up! I know which i prefer...
The handling as far as i know is original to me, and i havent seen another like it, else i wouldnt have released it. I use ONE move which i take NO credit for, and that is Lubor Fielders roll, which i credit on the DVD, i learned it from Alex Wards DVD. My handling looked like it does on the DVD, without that move before i learned it. I found the move sets up the effect perfectly!
