Under the right circumstances, this could be a really nice effect. The key is not to make the Snapple bottle look like it's going to be part of an effect. In order for this to work as well as it should, it should look as if the Snapple bottle is just "there".

The complaints about the set-up might be misleading. Although it does take some time, it doesn't really take any work at all. 99% of the setup just consists of waiting for the bottle to get ready. So if that's a concern, don't let it be one.

One criticism I have concerns the explanation video. For some odd reason, Oz prepares two cards, and then ends up throwing one away. It's almost as if he was prepping for a different "torn corner" effect, and forgot he didn't need a pair of matching corners for this effect. I wonder how many people will end up following along with the video anyway, and tear up cards for no reason.

One other slight problem: Snapple bottles generally have a plastic seal around the cap. If you hand the bottle to a spectator to open it, as suggested, some might notice the lack of plastic. You're much better off having the plastic laying on top of the bottle, take it off while pretending to tear it, and THEN handle the bottle to the spectator to break the vacuum seal of the cap.

This routine requires a LOT of setup, but it's totally worth it. I'd go for it if you like the effect! It plays huge with large audiences especially. I got second in a talent show using this one among many other effects. It just hits really really hard!

I love this trick and the effect KILLS. People CAN'T understand how it's possible. It really is an amazing trick, but the setup is so labor intensive that it really isn't worth performing. A lot goes into the trick and while it gets an INCREDIBLE response every time, I'd rather spend the setup time doing magic or practicing my card or coin stuff--the setup takes a while each time it's done and I don't find it worth it. Great trick, great price, great responses, terrible preparation time.

This trick is absolutely stunning. Watch as the chosen card instantly vanishes from the deck, which is cleanly shown, and appears in a SEALED Snapple bottle. Yet this trick does require some set up and you will have to buy another item to perform this nicely but the item can be found almost anywhere and it's cheap too. Aside from the set up, this trick is so amazing, and will be remembered for a long time. This trick is a definite reputation maker.

This is a good trick and it's all about knowing the 'secret'. Doing this trick is pretty straightforward actually which allows you to focus on presenting this impossible feat! Good stuff!

What you are really buying is the preperation of the sealed snapple. While time consuming, it is still ingenious! Having said that you will have to choose the proper setting to pull out a brand new snapple beverage to produce a card :)

This trick is kind of a neat idea. The means by which you keep the juice still sealed with a card in it is interesting, but not usefull or practical. You will buy this product and think "hey thats cool" but you won't use it two weeks after purchase.

omg!
I watched the demo 10 times and want to reveal it, but I don't get it.This trick is so clever and so simple,y ou don't need any slide of hands.
If someone is interested in magic and is a beginner ( or a pro ), you must buy it. You MUST the the reactions in the face of the spectators.

I don't mind the tricks that take extra prep time. One of my friends said he knew I had to have put the card in the bottle before he showed up that night so he was actually impressed that I had taken the time to prep it. I actually used a beer bottle in my routine and left the card in the bottle, just put the corner up up to the bottle after pouring out the beer to show that they matched.

very good trick. add to cart now impressive easy.. no sleight of hands
