Good news: based on what two people who own this product have said,
I can confirm that the Corona bottle can hold liquid without leaking

I think this is brilliant.. but I also think it has a routining problem that makes it feel more like a puzzle than like magic. The main problem being is it doesn't look like this: https://youtu.be/Hui0wZTfYPM?si=yL5PmQ2rc-TR-XQl
As soon as I develop a routine where that is the final image (obviously not with a phone) I'll buy one immediately. But not having fully solved this is preventing me from buying it atm. Until then ring on wine glass is still in first place for me. I don't think this is an unsolvable problem and I think I'll figure this out eventually. But Joao and team have done a great job solving the main problem of doing this in a one man show. I think it's only a matter of time before we figure out proper routines. |

I have a question. Has anyone actually received this item yet?
I placed my order on August 5th. What confuses me is that, on the one hand, my order says it will be shipped the next day. On the other hand, the website says that the item is currently sold out and will not be available again until September. I have already contacted Customer Service today and am still waiting for a reply. So, my question again: Has anyone actually received this item yet? And does anyone know whether it is really currently available, or will it only be available again next month? I actually contacted Customer Service at the beginning of August because of some questions, and I still haven’t received a response to this day. Perhaps Mr. Miranda and his team are currently on vacation as well. I’m not in a hurry, but it is quite a substantial amount of money, after all. And everyone knows that we magicians are always impatient! ???? Thank you very much! |

They were open about the fact that units would not begin shipping until September as they’re still being manufactured.
They did not have units (outside of the demo) at Magic Live to physically purchase. (I imagine the looks on the TSA agents  )

This has brutal spectators. The guy didn't seem impressed and the phone didn't ring for some reason. Love Dynamo though. |

And besides, the crucial moment isn't easy to pull off without drawing attention. At first, I was very surprised too, but after watching the whole thing several times, I realized what happens here with a quick bold handling. |

I really would like to purchase this, but I worry about how long it’ll last without any issues and if there’s a warranty on this as well?

I share the same impression. When the bottle need to place inside the paper?bag for those 24 seconds, the audience’s peak moment of surprise instantly fades, which hints that some kind of manipulation is taking place inside the bag. Unless the bag can be handed over to the audience for thorough inspection, the magic will not feel truly surprising to them.
Additionally, the mechanical unit generates noise while operating, making it unsuitable for close?up performances. I was really eager to buy this originally. However, after watching several demo videos, I need to carefully reconsider whether this is a worthwhile investment. On top of that, there is now an extra $500 surcharge, which has completely dampened my enthusiasm for purchasing it. |

I've almost designed a one man routine like Dynamo's, so it is definitely possible. The last problem I'm working on is what exactly I'm going to 'slam' into the bottle, as I want the audience to keep it as a souvenir and not have to break it as much as I love the idea of a watch or a key chain. I have one idea that I don't hate.

The way that it's used in the ad is absolutely the worst way to use it with some creativity. This can turn into an actual miracle.

The bag is absolutely not necessary. There are so many possibilities with this. It's a very exciting tool.

Well, I tried to resist this. But... my order is in as of today. Seems super solid. I've owned many of Joao's creations. Most have lived up to expectations. Sometimes the after sales support was a little frustrating in the early years but I believe all the back end support has been sorted now that we are many years into his creations. This just seems to be absolutely mindblowing with the ease of setup and use. I've watched the promos, read the discussion, talked to those that have seen the behind-the-scenes work and held the bottles in person....it just seems like this has been super well thought out and for what it is achieving, solo, without any assistance, is absolutely incredible. Honestly, I think he probably could have charged more as the price seems very reasonable. I'm pretty blown away by what I've been able to come up with different routines and use cases, some adding to what I already do and others totally new, centering entirely on the object going into the bottle. Either way, I think this will certainly be a workhorse for me. Most of my current work has pivoted to less stagework and more strolling cocktail hour and usually threres a short formal component to the full group for a parlor-esc type feel, and I think this will be invaluable in that environment.
Looking forward to receiving it. |
