Evaporation - A Totally New Way to Vanish Liquid"

It's time to throw away your grandpa's milk pitcher, and get ready for Evaporation! This is brand new method for making liquid disappear!
About a year ago I began creating Evaporation out of a need to make some liquid disappear. Evaporation's uniquie gimmick has been tweaked over the course of hundreds of shows and I belive it's the best method for vanishing liquid! Here are some great reasons to throw away your grandpa's old Magic Milk Pitcher and join the 21st Century with Evaporation:

  • Self contained, so when travelling you don't need 2 containers (one to carry the liquid and then one for the trick)!
  • No refilling, the liquid never leaves the container!
  • Resets in less than 3 seconds!
  • Can handle bottle freely (unlike a milk pitcher, ghost glass, etc), you can even juggle it!
  • Is physically smaller than a milk pitcher, but equally as visual!
  • Evaporation works close up or on stage!

What Evaporation Does:
At any point in your show, you pick up a bottle of juice that's been sitting on the table and pour it into a hat, cup, newspaper, your closed fist, or some other container and the juice disappears! Or better yet the juice changes to something else!

What You Get:
You get the Evaporation gimmick, DVD and printed instructions. The Evaporation gimmick is available in orange juice bottles, and the DVD teaches you how to use your gimmick along with many ways to use Evaporation.

Here's What The Pro's Say About Evaporation

"That is pure genius - completely fooled me" - Paul Romhany

"It's freakin' awesome" - Jamie D. Grant

"Brilliant, you need one of these" - Barry Mitchell

"One of the coolest things ever...I love it!" - Tony Chris

"I've been playing with this all afternoon. So cool! I showed my wife when she got home from work, these are her words: OK, how'd ya do that?" - Steve Wronker

"Evaporation is Genius! The method will blow your mind. This is the kind of effect that you will keep coming up with different presentations for. Very well made, durable and resets so quickly. Adaptable to virtually any kind of performance... I am so excited about adding this wonderful new prop to my shows." - Dennis Vander Houwen

Clever idea, but... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 27th, 2014
(This review is for Evaporation by Louie Foxx)
This is a clever idea and would have loads of handling benefits but the gimmick failed during the first rehearsal. If I could attribute that to a single faulty gimmick, that would be different, but - without revealing the gimmick - I was not surprised that it failed. Happily, Penguin was extemely helpful in resoving my problem and - as always - I appreciate their excellent service. Again, clever idea but I can't imagine being able to rely on this prop.

Great Concept, not well constructed Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 9th, 2014
(This review is for Evaporation by Louie Foxx)
The idea for this trick is fantastic! The big problem that I had is twofold - first, the container leaked. The hot glue used to attach the gimmick to the bottle does not allow for flexibility of the bottle. Second, for some reason, I do not have the lung capacity to "set up" the trick. I had to devise an alternate method that is not as convenient. I cannot imagine that I am the only one that has an issue with this. I just can't do it! I re-did the seal of the gimmick with silicone and it seems to be holding up much better...we will see.

Only buy if you have a use for it Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 16th, 2014
(This review is for Evaporation by Louie Foxx)
I did not follow the advice of buying for need not to learnt he secret and now this prop will sit a while before I find a use. Despite all the claims, it not any better than any other product that makes liquid vanish for the most part.
You will most likely like the method but if you dont have a routine in mind you would be doing this utility disservice. The Sunny D aspect is what makes it limiting. I checked around and my stores dont sell Dunny D in that bottle shape. Not sure why. It is not as familiar in my area so seems a bit cheap and out of place. He designed it it for his show and style.
As for the method and the prop. It works and is effective but not sure how long it will hold up. IT WILL TAKE PRACTICE to make natural. He pours too fast. The DVD is nice but low quality and runs through some ideas but for many if you just did it as stand alone will telegraph the prop as the key. Its strength is its put in case and go to show compared to other vanishing props. But it lacks a spout at the end and thus you must cheat the angles or give it away. A pitcher has the spout which can help the illusion allot. Where as all this pouring that much liquid in the hand is a bit silly and unnatural. the audience can sense something is off. Another advantage is that you could by this once and will learn how you can do other props that might fit your style. His idea for Ghost bottle does not work well at all due to the laws of physics and he does not get it to work proper on his demo either. Buy it if you know what routine is in, Dont buy it if you just want to know how it works.

Very Clever... Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 14th, 2013
(This review is for Evaporation by Louie Foxx)
As others have commented, the peinciple is very clever. Unless you own a copy of Sam Sharp's Conjuror's Hydraulic & Pneumatic Secrets, you won't have a clue how this works. Without tipping the secret I think it's safe to say it uses a displacement device. This device only costs pennies but the work into affixing it to the bottle took some time. The only drawback is that you're stuck with using the flavor you receive, in my case orange. I may try my hand at gaffing a Coke bottle with a device like this, as that is my prefered drink. I also like the Ghost Bottle, which uses a completely different method, but does use a Coke Bottle.

My favorite secret in magic (so far) Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 4th, 2016
(This review is for Evaporation by Louie Foxx)
I bought Evaporation directly from Louie (not from Penguin, for a change), because I wanted him make me a custom one in a special bottle. When I found out the secret, I fell in love with it. This is definitely one of my favorite methods in magic; it is pure genius, and pure simplicity. Hats off to Louie for coming up with it. If you want to make a liquid disappear, buy this, you will not be disappointed.

Magician’s review Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 22nd, 2024
(This review is for Evaporation by Louie Foxx)
I received the trick and to be quiet honest about my experience it’s difficult to use in a real setting mainly because you need to perform or prepare a head of time so I find it is a great trick and it could very well be something you can use but for me not so much but if you can do what it takes I’m going to recommend it to you

Love the idea but now it sets on a shelf Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 8th, 2022
(This review is for Evaporation by Louie Foxx)
First let me say I got this from another dealer. Love the idea of a prop that looks like an everyday item. Cool concept but as others have said I did not have the lungs for it and once the gimmick burst I found it to be to big of a pain to rebuild. Also it falls into what a call a “home made” trick. Overall I was excited at first when I got it but then left disappointed

Nice method Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 15th, 2018
(This review is for Evaporation by Louie Foxx)
The method is a good one, and once you know it you can build several similar props with it, as the DVD acknowledges. As with most things in magic, it takes practice to get it just right.

I've read reviews that say it is cheaply made and unreliable. Mine is well-made and holds up well.

As for the effect, it's of limited utility, but it's a good and more modern substitute for the old milk pitcher effect.

Overall I give it 4 stars.

Well I was actually very surprised after purchasing Evaporation . The method was so simple yet , SOOOOO effective . It looked more real than any other bottle in the world ! Yup as mentioned by another comment , this trick only cost a few dollars to make . However , what makes it good about this magic trick is the thought that goes into it . I am very pleased with this . Reaction is very strong ( as what I expected ) . Good work guys and keep it up .
