Multiplying bottles

Postby JonathanBMagic » May 2nd, 2011, 11:47 pm

Any opinions on multiplying bottles would be greatly appreciated. I've never handled a set and before I make the investment, I'd to have an idea of difference between how the colored handles vs the black as well as the $450 set vs the $150 set. Thanks

To save you a lot of time and money, obtain Ken Brooke's manuscript on
"Multiplying Martinis"-which outlines his entire routine using eight bottles.
Then you can either spend a little or a lot, depending on your desire to own a set to practice with, or a set that will last a lifetime. The cheaper sets made in India
run $150-$200. The "Ken Brooke" style bottles usually run around $450-$500.
Good luck!

And if you can find someone who has it, Jonathan--the late Tommy Cooper's routine. Surely the funniest & most frenetic-ever!
At the end you can hardly see the table for bottles.

When I used to perform it--I had a small cardboard box, which held the first 2 bottles, in the tubes. There was a cardboard 'grid' in the bottom.In this grid were holes--just enough to hold the produced bottles. As the bottles appeared they went into this grid--the front of the box opened down for the audience to see. Then at the end--pull up the front flap-and exit carrying the box with the bottles inside.

I've finally got my routine up on YouTube

Love the idea of combining Schrdinger's cat with this effect. As if the concept has been made for it :-)
