| Effect 1: Imagine walking over to anyone anywhere and asking to borrow their empty water bottle. Have them rip the label from the bottle to allow a perfect view. Have them recap the bottle. They place the bottle into your empty hand. Next you borrow a finger ring. In an open view you simply toss the ring through the bottom of the bottle. They see and hear the ring rattling around inside the bottle! You remove the cap and pour the ring out from the mouth of the bottle. Leave everything with them and walk away amongst the accolades of disbelief! Effect 2: Same scenario as above; a bottle is borrowed. You recap the bottle. Borrow a penny from someone. Place the penny in your open outstretched palm. Take the empty bottle in your other hand. "Watch the penny; watch the bottle." As you say this, the bottle is slapped upon the penny. Instantly and visibly, the penny is seen to have penetrated the bottle in full view. Leave the bottle with the penny trapped inside with your spectator as a gift. The Magi was here! Take a moment to reread the above. Nothing has been added or taken away from the descriptions. Both effects are apparently impromptu; the second even more so! Audience reactions are very strong. Magician reactions are just as strong! This is one of those very commercial routines that leave your audience with a long-lasting memory of great magic.
