Imagine being able to visually melt a coin through a bottle. The coin is trapped inside the factory sealed bottle. An excellent souvenir for your audience.
4 Versions are taught in this DVD
S - Slam - A bottle is shown empty. The magician borrows a coin and asks the audience to stare at the bottom of the bottle making sure nothing is hidden. The magician then slams the coin through the bottom of the bottle. The coin is stuck inside the bottle as the coin is bigger than the mouth of the bottle. Everything can be examined.
S 2 - Sealed and Stuck - A factory sealed bottle is shown empty on all sides. The magician borrows a coin and melts it through the factory sealed bottle. Like Slam the coin is stuck inside the bottle too. Everything can be examined
S 3 - Signed, Sealed and Stuck - Similar to S 2 but the coin is signed by the audience. Everything can be examined.
Bonus: The impromptu version of S2, where you can borrow a bottle and do the effect.

The above quote is from AndyAces’ website selling Sealed and Stuck. And since Andy has requested that someone start a thread on his material CTB I decided that I would step up to the challenge.
Ask a few questions and get the ball rolling.
Questions:
Slam:
Is the gimmick really that easy to make?
Is the gimmick reusable or is it a one shot deal?
How are the angles on this effect?
Is this effect good for street magicians/ strolling magic?
Is there a impromptu version of slam?
Version 2 Sealed and stuck:
Will the spectators notice the gimmick or is the gimmick used during pre-show?
Is the gimmick reusable or is it a one shot deal?
How long does it take to make the gimmick?
How are the angles?
Are there any sleights that aren’t taught that should be known to the magician?
How many sleights are taught?
In version 2.1 the Impromptu version of sealed and stuck:
Can the coin be larger then the bottle opening?
Is the bottle factory sealed?
Can the label be removed?
Can the set up be done in front of the spectators?
If someone just hand you a factory sealed bottle and a coin, then said "melt the coin through now!" Can you do that? With a coin bigger then the opening?
Can you do it surrounded?
If not then what are the angles?
Can the bottle be examined before the performance?
Can the coin be borrowed?
Can you explain?
4) Combinable with a signed coin
Do you teach how to do this with a signed coined?
