Alright guys. You've all most likely seen Chris Wiehl's new release.
It's a very visual coin thru bottle. You can actually use sharpies, coins, keys, lipstick, etc.

The Review
Teaching: Chris goes over every single aspect/move in full detail, so you won't miss out on that.
Difficulty: I'll be blunt about this, like I was with Chris when I talked to him about it. AAWBC is ****in hard. I bought it to replace Infusion because Infusion with a snapple bottle was impossible. I ended up practicing AAWBC way more than I ever practiced Infusion. Don't expect to get this down in a few hours, or days even.
Looks: Weird to see a "Looks" section in a review. Anyway, AAWBC is like eye candy to your spectator. Hell, it even looks great to us.
Methods: There are two methods to this effect: Gimmicked, and impromptu. What I enjoyed about the impromptu method was that it looks EXACTLY the same as the gimmicked method. On the DVD, Chris says it's a little bit more "handley", but it's not. Well, I changed the motions so it looks more natural and ends up looking just like the gimmicked version. In fact, I showed Chris my handling and he said this: "Is that the impromptu method?" Made me feel all warm inside. Haha. Great job on the methods.
The Gimmick: What is there to say about this gimmick...Nothing really. It's completely natural looking and no one will notice it. I understand the reasoning for including it on the DVD but the impromptu method works just as well.
The Price: Here's where my issue lies. The DVD was $24.95 and ended up costing me $34.95 with standard shipping. What I think made it that costly was the fact that they're sending a gimmick to you, which is absurd. Really. You can make it in five minutes. No, you don't need to go out and buy anything. If you have a bottle, you can make it. Chris tells you how to make it. I didn't see why they wanted to ship out a gimmick.
Overall: Pick up this DVD. It's the best signed coin in bottle I've ever seen. The multitude of object thru bottles you can do with this is astounding. Chris, you've created the greatest coin thru bottle I've had the privilege to work with. Good job.
