Several people bought it at Magic Live and I’m sure most, if not all, gave it a very close inspection before dinging their card for 2k. I guess time will tell. |

To be able to watch it in action and then inspect the bottle, knowing exactly where the work was done, and yet not being able to see it, is really something. Part of that is due to the construction of the bottle and where everything happens on it.

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. |

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.
