And is the gimmick re-useable, or will we have to buy refills? Or is it made out of household items? Thanks :)

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.

Sorry to burden you with another question, Jonathan....

Can the same crush of the bottle be used on the cans? Or is the furthest crush on the can the one of the MONSTER drink in the preview video? Thanks.

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 pretty much ANY kind of bottle.

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.

Im sure you're tired of questions but i couldnt see this one answered in the other pages.

How long (roughly) does it take to set-up/arrange the effect with their bottle before you commence the crush?

Obviously you would want to stretch the trick out for suspense, but how long does it take to set it up from the moment they give it to you till the moment you have it ready for show?

Cheers,
Steve

I'll be getting this tomorrow in the mail and I'll give my first initial review after viewing and then I'll give a real performance review after performing. I really doubt t11 will let us down on this one.

When you say use a spectator's borrowed bottle how long is the set-up?? Does this setup justify using the non-gimmicked version? Because if the setup is time consuming then why not use the gimicked version? Just looking to clear it up before I make my purchase! :)

I have read through every post on here now and couldn't find any of the questions I was wanting to ask on here so here they are:

1. with the gimmicked version, can the spectator be holding the bottle and you still be able to crush the bottle?

and 2. is it a gimmick that wouldn't work with somebody that's heavy?

Also I'd like to know how much of a setup there is as well because it's not been answered and what would the dificulty rating be on it?

Just a note that I spoke to Dan Sperry a few moments ago via phone. Sperry tried this out for the first time in a live performance this morning. He utilized the ungimmicked method in the show - with a large 2 liter Coke bottle so that everyone in the audience could see. And it killed! He said that it caused a loud, abrupt CRUSH that freaked everyone out, especially the girl in the audience that was holding the bottle.

I suggested to him that he may want to try it with the bottle on the table (so no one is touching it) next time - just to see if that affects the intensity of the spectators' reaction. With proper build up and presentation, this is powerful stuff.
