Wayman, what Tim means is... he's the guy making the Erzatz Bottles. Did I let the secret out of the bottle? Trust me, they're very cool. He made and gave me one of the very first ones he ever made. He’s a very nice guy, and does great work. Buy one from Hocus Pocus! NOW!

Hi Wayman,

I am so inspired by what you have described I want to have a go at this myself! My first project is to be a deck of cards in their box in a bottle but unsure about the best way of going about this. Where can I learn the basics? What's AoA and will it hlep?

Look forward to hearing form you,

Hiya tomdom,

If you're loooking for more inspiration, perhaps I can be super bold and suggest checking my contribution to the art out...

Here is my two pennies worth:



It's a sealed deck of Bikes, impaled by a solid steel bolt, and fixed to the deck with nuts and washers.

Wayman, you mention "as described in AOA " What is AOA, thanks and all the bottles from you guys look great.

AoA stands for 'Art of Astonishment', a 3-book set by Paul Harris. And *** good too, in my opinion!

Hi guys,
I have just completed a whole new range of bottles you might find interesting.
The challenge was to create a diverse range using unusual items in different containers. Check them out at:

Please let me know what you think.
