right so i'll do a review on factory sealed today.
below are questions on the trick taken frm the faqs section. the ones in brackets are my comments.
go to http://www.ellusionist.com/product/dvd+training/justin+miller/factory+sealed+coin+in+bottle.do to watch/buy the dvd...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can the coin be borrowed? - Yes(true)
Can the coin be marked or initialed? - No. The point of this effect is the beauty of the visual penetration, not a detective-like examination of the process. That question comes from your mind, not the spectator's. We never heard it once in all the performances that were filmed, and there were a tremendous number of them that were shot.(true)
Can the bottle be borrowed? - No(true, at least E is honest)
Is it necessary for the coin to be marked or initialed? - No. The point of this effect is the beauty of the visual penetration, not a detective-like examination of the process. That question comes from your mind, not the spectator's. We never heard it once in all the performances that were filmed, and there were a tremendous number of them that were shot.(yea yea...)
Can the bottle be from a vending machine? - Yes. When you watch the DVD, dozens of "routine" ideas will flow from your mind. We at Team E continue to create our own personal routines everyday with Factory Sealed and have tons of fun doing so. We encourage you to do the same.(errrr hmmm im not sure cos i dun own the dvd. probably a diffferent version that isnt shown in the trailer.)
Can this be performed point blank right in front of your spectator's eyes? - Yes.(true)
Can it be performed surroundned - Yes ...there is a beautiful version included in the DVD which can be performed completely surrounded, and MAN does it get reactions. It's likely that you will perform this one more than any other version included on the DVD.(true, but im not sure of the surrounded version. unsure of a few steps.)
Can the penetration take place in the dead center of the bottle when performing it surrounded? - Yes.(true)
Is the factory sealed container clear? - Yes, completely.(true)
Can the label be removed? - Yes.(true)
Do the spectators actually SEE the penetration occur? - Yes, the slower the miracle is performed, the better.(true)
Can the spectators hold the bottle as the penetration occurs - Yes, we demonstrate and recommended this to generate a truly astonishing experience for your audience.(true for the surrounded version)
Are gimmicks involved? - No. The effect in relation to its practicality is in perfect equilibrium. An absolute dream effect.(true)
Is everything immediately examinable after the miracle occurs? - Yes(true)
Are gimmicks involved? - No.(true)

ok so here's my review of the whole trick.
one word-GENIOUS!
dun think any1 would have actually thought of using this principle for a coin in bottle. anyw this is seriously genious and realy realy practical have only shown it once so far and it gets really great reactions. that was on dominic choa. haha he thought it was a slit but that's really not true nor possible. water would spill out is there's a slit right? this is really unlike any CIB i've ever seen...
right so anyone getting the dvd? lend me pls...i juz nd to know the few steps of the surrounded version! i'm VERY VERY sure my idea and principle is correct.
