IMO, the effect should commence with this - i.e. the ball act. However as I had mentioned earlier, the ball needs to be:- 1. Highly visual in color. 2. It should have better buoyancy so that the ball falls slowly inside the bottle. Just a thought: One might also like to give a try using a heavier ball - say a steel ball (of the same size as the plastic ball), thus giving the impression that the heavy steel ball has pierced through the bottle neck without the water flowing out. For this: You openly show the steel ball & a magnet. Show that the magnet attracts the ball. Now drop the ball and invert the bottle while holding the ball with the magnet at the base of the bottle. Once the bottle has been inverted, release the magnet and let the ball fall in the water and out of the mouth.

That tip from Alex is wonderful! While I've been able to get the gimmick to release, I was sure I was going to break something in the process...now that fear has been put aside.
This is a very well thought out piece of Magic. I have always loved this effect but until NOW I just wasn't comfortable with it. This gimmick really makes all of the difference for me. I am extremely happy to have purchased this and in fact, may buy another just to have for back up.....in case I should misplace it etc. Hats off to all involved! Best, Bk |

Alex's method of getting the gimmick to come out is a blessing! Tapping to me was tedious and it wasn't 100% always coming out like it should. This is definitely worker material now. Thanks guys! I love this!

Oh No.... Can somebody verify how many of the gimmicks that fit into the cap do you recieve with this effect? Because I have a major revelation..... If there are 3 of the gimmicks, then fine, one of them is still stuck in the cap and will not come out either by banging or squeezing it. If there are 2 gimmicks, then I am the biggest idiot in the world who has been banging and squeezing this cap on every surface at home and work since 10am this morning. (it's now 4:30pm), and there is absolutely NOTHING in it.
HOW MANY GIMMICKS (THAT FIT INTO THE CAP) COME WITH THIS? |

Forget it...... I am an officially an IDIOT.... it only comes with 2....wow.....I have been banging this all day for nothing. The gimmick must have fell out on one of the first tries and I didn't even notice it.....wow.

I've been having a lot of fun playing around with Water Works. The gimmick is brilliant and I believe Uday made a significant improvement to the water suspension effect. Thanks to Alex as well for his tip on getting dislodging the gimmick - it works very well!
I wonder if Paul Harris and company will offer an option at some point to only purchase the Water Works cap ? I love this so much that I don't want to risk not having it if I happen to lose the cap for any reason (knock on wood). It would be nice to not have to purchase the entire Water Works package for existing owners who mistakenly lose the cap...just a thought

Recently purchased this . After watching Alex's video and trying out the gimmick , I must say I really like it . Tried it out on my family members first and it fooled them badly . Well that's the sigh that this is a complete worker . Now there is no tedious set up and clean up . Alex's video really helped me a lot into getting the gimmick out of the cap . I had no problem with performing the effect at all . However , I did spent some time practicing the right pressure to hold the bottle . My aim is to get as little water to spill out as possible when the pencil is put in , and during the middle of the performance , I tried not to spill a single drop of water out . After a day , I could now perform it with ease . I hold the base of the bole using only three fingers ( thumb , middle and ring finger ) . By holding it gently , I realized I can easily control the right and same pressure throughout the entire routine . 100% worth for the price .

Plunge taken. Alex Ill need that video pronto.
Smart bottle if Im not mistaken correct? That works wonderful since I use Calen Morelli's Pen in Bottle with the lovely smart bottle quite often. I'm also a sucker for "rattled". So this is definitely for me. I just want to add to the other positive posters regarding Alex's additions. |

Dear Alex,
I am very sorry to tell you that I announced the prize money without thinking that it is too big. Keeping 1000 rupees in my mind I announced 1000 dollars. To get 1000 dollars I need to sell lots of WATER WORKS. I don't want to completely go back on my promise. So I will give you 1000 dollars worth of my magic items. Please accept this as token of appreciation. I know you did not ask for the prize in exchange for your idea. But I felt that I should pay something in return. In case you want to take this gift of mine please email your address to udaymagic@gmail.com I will send you the list of items I have with me. |

I feel as if Alex REALLY helped out the product. I actually sold mine and the person who I sold mine to sold his. I feel this tip REALLY helps and Uday and Waterworks owes a LOT to this really useful tip, it makes this what it should be: usable and great. I am sure that Alex should get some financial compensation for this as he will drastically boost Waterworks' sales, I've seen other reviewers and that was their biggest problem with it.

Hi Uday
You should give me the prize money because I thought about this idea first and I have written before Alex. If you want you can check the post.Even I checked the video of Alex and its the same method of pressing and releasing which I meant and mentioned in your post. Even I sent sms and mailed you that I want to talk with you regarding water works. You were busy and later I felt your method of banging is safe and best because by pressing the cap some times the gimmick jumps away and I have already lost one of the gimmicks. And also if we press hard and change the shape of the cap then the gimmick jumps before we start the trick. So I feel the banging is better. P.S Please advise whether we can get the refills that is cap with gimmicks or cap alone. Balu
