« Any object. Any Corona bottle. One bottle. Nothing leaves the stage. No assistants. No switches. The entire miracle happens in full view and can even begin with a spectator-signed bottle. » I don’t fully agree with the « entire miracle happens in full view » part since the actual penetration happens inside the paper bag but looks very good. Also quite expensive… but looks good! Given the price I prefer cantastic but this looks definitely very well made. |

I saw the trailer and I was like yes yes yes. Then I saw the price and I was like no no no. And then I discover that's the special offer discounted price. Wow, I will have to pass on this one. However, if you are a working magician, then you might be able to justify the cost.

I would not buy this or anything else directly from him. He had the worse customer service. I had his Lynx Blackboard that did not work. I sent him numerous messages and he never responded. Buy at your own risk.

Can I use it to make just one bottle, or can I seal an unlimited number of bottles with this “device” ?
Effect is great, but so is the current price of 2.000€ and 2.500€ later, and TV rights are not included |

Wow. It looks really good, but really expensive.

The effect is discussed in David Penn's Wizard Magic Review (linked above) where Miranda says you can treat an infinite number of bottles. It does look like Montoro and Miranda have cracked a holy grail of magic here. Next they will produce the perfect real ACAAN:)
But the price is quite prohibitive. At that price I will use Canned Card ($26.20 for 10 cans - uses card corners although you cannot sign them), Cantastic, or break out the Cube to Bottle (which is over $200 on Henry Harrius' website but perhaps a strong value). This is going to be great for Vegas pros and they may be able to pay the price. Perhaps the rest of us can look forward to seeing it in some headliner shows. Whatever the case, we are fortunate to have creators like these two pushing the boundaries and continuing to amaze. Kudos to them. |

Wow. Looks like a very cool/strong effect. I will probably buy the trick.

My biggest worries is the noise. It says very little noise but every time I hear that it always makes more noise than I wish. I’m a close-up performer and that’s what I would want to use this for. Can definitely tell from the video what’s going on never actually see the bottom of the bottle so definitely a gimmick that fusees it back together. Wish I have the money for this looks awesome. Can really blow some minds.

IT'S A MIRACLE!
Noisy? We can handle that. Play some music. Tell a joke. Pricy? No, we cannot handle that. Poor reports of customer service? No, we cannot handle that. SURVEY SAYS! X X X
How many magicians does it take to change a lightbulb? Regardless, for magicians darkness is a time for d'lite.

I need to correct my previous price quote; it is 2,000 USD or 1,743.95 EUR
And to me, the gimmick isn't that small, as it described in the promo text And I'm also wondering what the actual noise level will be in real working The demonstration with the illuminated box looks great, but it’s also a bit misleading to me, since I don’t think the object is inserted into the bottle from the side, but rather from the bottom of the bottle, and since there is not a continuous presentation, the bottle is lifted out upright at the end. |

Nothing on the site about a warranty or support. What happens when it breaks a week after you get it? Especially concerning given the report about poor customer service. A $2000 paperweight? I really like the effect, but there's too much risk at that price.

What I really like is that the audience member can take this bottle home, it will be a lasting memory,
though without their watch or a valuable ring inside the bottle. And yes, the price is high, but when I see what some people spend on other tricks at auctions, it puts things into perspective. I think there are plenty of well-heeled people for whom this price is not an obstacle. Watch a YouTube video featuring a padlock routine that is also impressive. Iam still left wondering about audible sounds during the procedure in the paper bag ??? Btw. is the corona bottle made of thin glass or some kind of hard plastic ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydwmutxSly0 |

One of their engineers came on a Zoom call and spent a couple of hours with me diagnosing the fault. We eventually determined that it was a problem with a key component that needed to be replaced. I sent back said component and I had a replacement in a week. It's now fine. |

I wanted to also say that like Allen above I have also had only great customer support from Joao Miranda's team when emailing their support address. Bruno was very quick and helpful. But I'm sorry if others haven't had that.

I have also had very good experiences with their customer service.
By the way, I don't think noise can be a problem. The question that arises for me is whether the supplied material is in a price ratio or whether they want you to pay for the idea and protect the idea with the high price. I can imagine what you‘ll receive here. |

I can’t imagine how placing an object like a watch, ring, bottle opener, 8-ball, etc. onto/into glass doesn’t make noise. And the noise will come at the worst possible moment, when the spectator’s attention is fixed on your hands going into the bag. I also don’t see the practicality of borrowing a watch or ring. Your spectator will be smashing open their souvenir as soon as they get home. That leaves items that you will provide yourself, like the bottle opener in the video…which is fine, but lacks the same sort of connection to your spectator. So maybe the question becomes is this an upgrade in effect to cube to bottle? We love methods, but is the effect worth the investment?

I said no. He did five. |
