The Almost-Invisible Bottle

[Jeff Haas]

David,

Thanks for putting Joey Incollingo's trick in the latest issue. I cut up a Coke bottle and stepped through the moves. This one's a keeper!

If Joey has anything else like this, please wring it out of him.

I like it too. I had lunch with Joey in December and at some point while he was digging in his pockets for a coin, he pulled out a severed soda-bottle top and put it on the table. I could see what it was but I couldn't figure out why the hell he had it (the only thing I could think of was that it might be some kind of makeshift spool for invisible thread), so I picked it up and said, "Joey, what is this?", and he said, "That? It's my almost-invisible bottle." I laughed so hard I nearly spat out my squeaker. Then he did the routine and I was lucky enough to get it for Genii.
