Effect

An empty and crushed can of soda magically restores and refills before the eyes of the spectators.

Impossible to improve? Here's the 2.0 version of Anders Modens ingenious Healed and Sealed Soda, the effect originally performed by David Blaine on "Vertigo".

Anders Moden shares his thoughts on the methods, the handlings and the presentations of his masterpiece. He will also guide you through various additional techniques that he has kept to himself. Until now.

Let's re-cap the effect:

• Pour the last drops out of an empty a soda can.
• Crush it - in front of the spectators - and show it around.
• Command the can to heal itself - the spectator will see and hear this happen.
• Wave your hand over the opening and the hole will seal itself!
• Now the can has magically filled itself up.
• Open the can with a pfzzt!
• Pour the soda in a glass.
• Hand everything out to the audience.

• a clever "hands-off" method that actually works.
• a special close-up method.
• an ingenious transposition effect where the drink visibly and instantly moves from a full coke can to an empty orange can!
