Bottled up!

Ok, so if you haven't seen the trick, go to Penguin Magic and view the clip. The effect is to have a selected card end up in a sealed bottle. It's a really nice effect. The cool thing I like about this trick is that there is a torn corner that matches with the card inside the snapple bottle. What I really like about this trick, is that you can apply the method to creating other tricks. The card can end up anywhere, not just inside of a sealed bottle.

Pros:
very difficult for a magician or non-magician to figure out how it works. A more experienced magician may be able to follow what you've done only because they have probably learned the method.

The method is simple and easy to perform. Time can be placed in presentation rather than worry about any sleights of hand.

Great for beginners and experienced magicians alike.

The trick has "wow" factor.

Cons:
There is some setup involved, so this effect cannot be performed impromptu.

You have to have a bottle on you to prepare the effect. You need a separate bottle for each time you perform.

Would I recommend the trick? Absolutely. One tip about this trick is that it is the same method as John Kennedy's Card Thru Window, which is priced a lot higher. Just a helpful hint in helping save money on magic.
