Worlds Greatest Magic - Coin In Bottle - Michael Ammar's Corked Coin In Bottle

Cliff|Bumgardner · Apr 21, 2009

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone here had the Worlds Greatest Magic Coin In Bottle DVD by L&L as I am interested in putting the coin in bottle effect into my restaurant work.

I am most interested to see if Michael Ammar's coin in bottle where the bottle is still corked is taught on this DVD. I know it is on the preview but sometimes the versions can differ slightly.

I recently had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Ammar lecture but, wouldn't you know it, when he taught this effect I was in the other room helping the next lecturer with his sound system (by "sound system" I mean a tape deck and 20 cassette tapes... yikes!).

Thanks guys,
C

yeah,I bought the dvd, and it's worst every penny, believe me.
of course you need to buy a folding coin, because there isn't one included, but as all the other world's greatest magic dvd's, it's great teaching and awesome effects.
buy it

I'm most certain that if it is shown in the preview it will be taught in the DVD.

on my dvd it just says
michael ammar coin in bottle, but every trick that is in the demo, is on the dvd

Great, thanks. I was just making sure.

By the way, can anyone tell me if the Tango folding coin is really worth the extra $$ compared to the cheaper ones?

Thanks again,

Cliff, why not just do Sinful?

Randy · Apr 21, 2009

Sinful requires a soda can and that you pour it out. I don't think many restaurants or walk around gigs would enjoy him pouring soda out at every table.

Cha-ching

There's also a whole bottle production routine Ammar does before the coin in bottle that I looove for restaurant work.

Well you could do the bottle production with any routine if you know how to steal bottles off the table out from under them.

True, but Ammar's is a totally different approach.

You're talking about a splash bottle right. I'm pretty sure that's what he probably did. You can get the prop for that at any magic shop.

Ammar did this looong before the Splash bottle was a marketed prop.

Awesome DVD. Still the best coin in bottle is the classic one with the f****ing quarter. I do this in bars all the time with a borrowed coin and beer bottle. Always plays strong.

Exactly, I'm doing it with a root beer bottle (under age.. hah). Insane little miracle.

Hi again Cliff. Did you get the lecture pack from Ammar's lecture? I was also there. The "cork" should have come with it. The trick is fairly simple. He used a 50 cent piece so that's what I went out and bought. Take my advice if you do this trick. Use a quarter. The 50 cent piece is too tight. PM me if you have any questions and I'd be glad to help.

Cliff have you checked out captured from Justin Miller? I'm not sure exactly what your looking for but check out the trailer and reviews.

Hey man,

Na, I didn't get his lecture pack. And I actually missed his entire performance and explanation for the coin in bottle... damn... haha

The method in his book is actually pretty different from the cork he was selling at the lecture (I looked at one on his table). As luck would have it I found a root beer bottle works best for me which doesn't use a cork soo... Basically I made a complete circle haha

And yea, definitely use a quarter. I'm actually borrowing their quarter, having it signed, and going on from there. Enhances the effect in my mind.

As for Captured, its a great looking effect that I've actually wanted to pick up, but very different from the coin in bottle I'm talking about.
