Definitely something we will consider in a few months once some more projects come to light, all of which utilize soundtracks created entirely from scratch. I think it'd be ideal to release them all in one album, with sort of the complete collection.

B462, Awesome! Glad you dig it! Just saw your message about a missing piece and sent you a PM and voicemail to make sure this is resolved. We stand behind everything we do and if you need another "replacement part" for the gimmick anytime in the future, simply contact us and we will send out...

With the gimmicked version, as long as you have the gimmick on you, there is zero preparation - you grab the bottle and do it. With the ungimmicked version, there is about 20 seconds of setup, but "so much preparation" is not an accurate portrayal thereof. To give everyone a valid comparison...

Podcast has been posted! Thank you guys for submitting some great questions - it lead to a very interesting discussion between Dan White and I on how we work, what we look for in new effects, and our past, present, and future. You can listen to the podcast now by downloading the mp3 HERE.

Interesting thought. We launched in 07 and technology (and internet speed) has certainly improved a bit since then. The main (only) reason why we haven't done so already is to try to reach a happy medium of filesize and download speed. We'd rather the image quality just be "great" and download...

We used to use FX1's from 2007 to 2009, but recently upgraded to full frame high definition cameras to take quality up 47 notches. Genesis was the first project we shot using this new equipment. The difference in workflow means that it takes us about 3 times as long to do anything. But the...

Yessir - with the gimmicked version, you can hand the bottle back to the spectator. It can be their bottle, so there's nothing for them to find. It's normal. In several performances Eric did in NYC, he borrowed the bottle from the spectator. Yes, the wrapper can be taken off if desired. With...

With one of the methods provided, you could be 5 feet away, 10 feet away when the crush occurs. You don't have to touch it - the bottle could be on the table or even in the spectators hands when it happens.

Love Kevin James's version - it's simple, it's beautiful, and the ending comes out of nowhere. There's a reason why David Copperfield performs it in his show every single night - and has for over a decade. We don't carry it, but you can find out more information on it at the link below...

Ha - I don't know what you're talking about. We would never harm our beloved t11 mascot named Angel.

This is an amazing thread - you guys have shared some incredible stories. A few years ago I did a performance at the Children's Hospital in my hometown for the kids there - and I remember every bit of it to this day. Here in NYC, Bill Kalush, Ricky Smith, Doug McKenzie, and David Blaine operate...

In the instructional part of the video, you'll see a pretty dramatic crush done with a can. But to be completely transparent, the effect was originally designed to be a bottle trick. It will work with some types of cans (hard to elaborate on this without exposure), but you can achieve Crush with...

In sincerity, I listed out those exact reasons, point by point, in my original post in this thread. I suggest for those in doubt to digest it in full. Perhaps, in time, you will realize that this is not a game - it's the livelihood and sole occupation of the majority of our artists and staff...

Should last you a lifetime. No refills necessary, ever. However, you will need to find an infant sized lifejacket, three banana's, lipstick, charcoal, and a bandaid. Just kidding. Pretty much everything you need is included. The rest can easily be found around the house.

I'd be willing to bet a bunch that the bottle you posted would work perfectly with this effect. Ripples HELP - not hurt. Ripples increase the crunchy sounds. I like crunchy sounds.

Personally, my preference would be the ungimmicked method due to the circumstances in which I usually perform. Most of the time when I perform something today, it's not a planned event - it's for friends and acquaintances. That said, I used to perform working gigs (theater shows) quite often...

Doug - In sincerity, was very surprised to see your post above. Was a bit taken aback by it, as theory11 is not - in any way - "the same as Ellusionist." I was at Ellusionist for seven years. I resigned as President in 2007. I know very well what Ellusionist was and is. theory11 is not...

This depends on a variety of factors (all of which are discussed in the video). Via either method, the effect is largely the same: the bottle slowly crushes by itself. The crush is pretty dramatic in either method - which is why we included both. In the instructional part of the video, you'll...

Dear Blindside, this video summarizes my reaction to watching the video you posted. Oh lord - that was about 6 years ago. I think I was 17 when that video was shot.

Both methods are included on one DVD - so there will be no download format on this one, just DVD. With good reason. If we only showed you the gimmicked method, you'd be left wondering how you could possibly perform this if you're at a party and left the gimmick at home. If we only showed you the...
