If you type "bags" in the search function at www.themagicwarehouse you will find the correct bags for this effect.

I bought it used, but it had a leak, and the black plastic coating on the inside keeps flaking off a lot. Maybe it was roughly handled or filled up with something weird by the guy who had it before me, but I'm guessing it's just not made or designed as well as it could be? I was able to repair the leak, but it was a big pain to do it, I couldn't find the leak cause of the location so I had to put silicone glue all over the inside. The routine, the way it is presented in the demo, is OK, but could be a lot better. After I make the orange bottle disappear, I will reach into the bag and pull out an open glass of water with ice in it, and put a straw into it. Then I will rip up the bag into 3 long pieces and pull another open beverage with ice from the ripped up bag.

I love this trick. My bottle needed replacing so I picked up another from a magic shop on eBay. I received a counterfeit which was of a very poor quality. You may have heard that the original bottle is virtually indistinguishable from a real bottle. This is true, but not so with the Chinese knock-off. It might pass on a stage show but even 12 feet away you're not going to fool anyone. Avoid the eBay seller ws.magic. They passed off a counterfeit as a genuine Joao Miranda bottle and now I'm having to go through the lengthy process of obtaining a refund. If you do end up receiving a counterfeit bottle make sure you push for a refund and don't let them get away with their dishonesty. In my case the counterfeit was sold for the same price as the original but even if you can get the counterfeit version cheap, don't bother. The original looks so much better.

Am I alone in wondering how this fools laymen? There is only 1 place the vanishing bottle could go. I am not dismissing the effect, just wondering if in the real world this fools folk?

In fact not only I always get great reactions with it but I have seen two stage shows of two friends of mine in a shopping mall and the reactions are the best. The audience has no clue about where the other bottle is. don't take my word for it... try it and confirm by yourself. |

Just got mine today. Unfortunately, 1 of my packages got delayed in customs. I do have the bottle, just waiting for my cards to arrive. It should arrive with my Lynx Prediction.
The bottle is very well made and is sturdy and does actually look a real bottle. The method it kind of cool. |

Method is great. Unfortunately after a few uses one of my magnets came out of the, is it foam?, type material so it doesn’t lock.
Great trick for all ages, just wish it were made a little different, |

For those looking for bags... Euro 20 Shorty works great. The size is 13 1/2 by 8 1/4 by 6 and is a good weight.

I have seen this. For me, there seems to be only one solution. However, I am a Magician. I also have never tried performing this. So maybe this does get great reactions. If you are having success with it, then good on you. Cheers!

Good evening, I ask for information: in order not to damage the bottle, do you have to pour liquid with food coloring? Is it resistant to both the gimmick? I have read some not very positive opinions on the duration.
Thank you |

Based on the problems I had with it and the response I got when I contacted Joao, I wouldn't recommend getting it unless you are feeling lucky.

I’ve had mine for yrs and it’s still working well. I left the water in the gimmick section and some of the paint wore off. So I’ll have to touch that up, but other than that, I haven’t had any issues
