Too much cover for way too long gives a suspicious image, just looks rather funny to me.


Are you describing Abyss? What timestamp do you see too much cover? I see no label, and the bottle held at his fingertips:

Need that, borrow a normal bottle, borrow a quarter CIB


Yeahh. I'll just get E's. BULLET is totally impromptu and suppose to be killer visual as the coin FLIES into the bottle. This Abyss is somewhat visual as so much cover is obviously needed. What is visual is the coin falling (behind the hand).


I to can not wait for the cibs from E, but I also like getting great looking cibs from other creators to see how others look at cib plots.
I get to gaff some cool stuff for some cool people

I do hope Bullet and Factory Sealed end all the CIB releases, except for Magic Makers, who will probably release a bad CIB soon.

Yes, Thanks Doug, That's the demo I am talking about. I guess I should say "under the hand." On at least 3 of the penetrations the cover time is quite long. The horizontal one especially is hard to see..The coin is totally covered.

I'll believe the hype around E's coin in bottles when I see them (and the demo better be good). For now, I have ordered a very good looking version for less than $15 from hocus-pocus.

I am pretty sure every currency will have a coin that works with this.

You can do this impromptu with any plastic bottle and any coin. You can also do it with other small objects like a key or a ring. nearly the entire cost of the trick is 1-2 dollars which is the price of a bottle and a coin as change, that's all you need to perform this. I think e's CIB's are way overhyped, there hasn't even been a demo so it could be totally different than what people are expecting but I hope to be wrong. I'm perfectly happy with this impromptu visual CIB anyway, and its at a fantastic price

Everything in the advertisement is true besides always ending clean and this can be done 360 degrees. In some methods, you are left dirty but theres a lot of misdirection. In some methods. this can't be done 360 degrees


Well you do get what you pay for. As long as you're happy and learn something from it, that's always good.
Thanks for clearing up what is said in the ad copy, that was a HUGE question for me.
I was REALLY LEARY about the Clean Up, especially being familiar with abyss1.
I was going to say..there is no way he is clean..(that black background got me the first time)
Thanks for the clarity and full truth on the clean up.

E is not the one hyping their product. I think Brad and an E employee only actually made a total on two posts about it here on the Café. It's the people who've seen it and used say it's the best the've seen all around by far. I'm looking forward to them too. I really want to see LIVE performance reactions VS a suspicious black background. I don't mind paying more for exeptional effects on DVD. How to get in and out of frame with good instructions and seeing how it plays in the real world are things that are important to me.

I look forward to good demos too. We'll probably see a teaser first.

The black background has nothing to do with the cleanup gmmagic. all of enchantments demo backgrounds are black. and getting clean in abyss2 is really not hard at all. theres so much misdirection on the bottle that no one looks anything else. some people are just looking for a perfect coin in bottle that's signed, factory sealed, visual, left clean, 2 separate objects, coin bigger than the bottle, impromptu. I don't think that will ever happen, including e's CIB's. yes there is a cleanup, but its not with every handling and its very very easy to get away with if you have any performance skills. yes there is a set up but its impromptu and takes a few seconds. o and btw the creator has a forum for abyss2 with performance videos and theyre very useful and hes there to answer any questions. I think abyss2 is great and I'm done searching for a CIB that I would always use.
