Hi,
Among my stuff from years ago, I have this small bottle with a 1 cent coin inside. The neck is way too small for the coin. I've lost the routine years ago. I seem to remember it was a "one in the hand, two in the pocket" type thing. I'd like to bring it out again, dust it off and give it a new lease of life.. can anyone point me to a suitable routine? Thanks! DCB

Check out David Roth's Funnel in his Expert Coin Magic book. It's also in his Ultimate Coin Magic Collection 3 dvd. He put 4 full-sized half dollars into a tiny bottle using a Funnel. As is all Roth's stuff, it's a very well constructed routine with some great magical moments.

Hi Ben. I never knew you were a member. I like your watching your DVDs. Especially Encyclopedia with Sponge Balls and the Newspaper Tears.

Hi,...
Thanks for the reply.. but this is a really small bottle, about 2" high, with a 1/4" diameter neck - and the one cent is trapped inside. No way to get it out without smashing the bottle. Anyone help? Tks! DCB

If you apply a label to the bottle, maybe you could work out something like "mini-Prohibition"? (I presume the Cent is ma......!)

It might be the item that was sold along with a quarter which had a penny glued to it. And it was a 'penny keeps coming back' type routine where you keep taking the penny and putting it into your pocket.

I've recently been advised it's called "Bottled" by Sam Schwartz.. and there's a routine in his book "The Magic of Sam Schwartz"
Thansk, all! DCB

Some people believe 'time is money'; you might construct a routine built around that theme, and the Jim Croche song 'Time In a Bottle playing in the background.

Okami.. it's way too small for a mini Prohibition...!!
Kotah, I'm pretty certain I got this stuff, or the routine at least from Jack Poulter, who used to help me years back, when alt.magic was a worthwhile newsgroup. I think he may even be active here, on the Café - he was a great help.... I find it odd that I never throw things away, but my routines have a habit of separating themselves from my props. Regards, DCB

For that, I'd suggest combining the tips of Eugene Burger and Billy McComb: Write out your script and keep it together with the props in a zip-lock bag. No missing gimmicks, no missing routines.

I've got everything organised now. A few months back, I managed to buy an old drawer unit with glass fronts on the drawers (was originally from an old drapers store I think) - it's 8 ft long, with 28 drawers. Wonderful! One drawer for sponge stuff, another for rope, cards, etc. No problems now, but of course, I've been collecting for around 18 years, and a lot of the original paperwork went astray when I moved to Ireland.
I do the ziplock bag already - at least, my wonderful girlf does it all for me! Cheers! DCB
