A great video demo of Osmosis

[Guest]

Check out this video demo. It looks really nice. The label on the beer bottle ends up inside the bottle.

The link is not working for me... :confused:

In regard to the effect: I seem to recall that David Roth had something along these lines some years ago. Anyone else recall exactly what that was?

Dustin,

I know that my link currently does not work but it should be up in a couple of hours. You cannot view it from my link though.

Jeff,

The link worked fine, thanks. I was able to view the video as well. It does look great. I am, however, a little curious about the provenance of the effect. I am correct about Roth selling this (same brand of beer, in fact) several years ago, and it is still on his site (though not "currently available." Here's a link:

I don't mean to open a can of worms, but I think Roth was selling this around 10 years ago!

Wow!!! That is very interesting. Even ballsy.(can I say ballsy here?)It does not seem to be any different than the Roth method.

You can say Ballsy--especially when it applies.

If I remember correctly Mr Roth demonstrated, and explained the construction of, this gimmick on his "Live in Sacramento" tape. As a kicker ending to the coin in the bottle it's a very logical progression and a killer in his hands. On it's own it just doesn't make it for me.

Not David Roth.

See - "Matter Through Matter" - Tom Sellers 1935.
