Hello everybody,
I have a small question. Are there versions of the water to wine trick that produces drinkable liquid afterwards? I maybe have found a version that does, but isn't as clean as the original version with the chemicals. Greetings, Cirrus |

There are versions of the water to wine trick that produce drinkable liquid. However, there are several different definitions of drinkable. For example, there is a drinkable version that produces a non-poisonous liquid. However, the liquid is also a laxative.
The question would be "What are you trying to prove?"

Depending on your presentation and other needs, you could accomplish that simply by using a crystal m****r glass. There have been various marketed effects in the past that could be used to do this as well, and others merely needed to be adapted, but none of them are available these days.
Somewhere out there exists a book on magic with liquids. The exact name of the book and the name of the author escape me at the moment, but I seem to remember the same person also writing a book about magic with beach items, or a beach theme or something like that. Of course, that is of no help... Just FYI, this post will eventually be moved to a more appropriate section of this forum. I hope the rest of the information is useful to you. |

Are you looking to duplicate Robert-Houdin's Inexhaustiable Bottle, producing actual wine, beer, etc from a single bottle?

No, but that looks like a cool effect though.

Always wondered why people didn't just use the whitest wine they can find for the "water" and food coloring to make it red. The color and taste would fool most.

Are there a lot of methods available for this effect?
Because I didn't find a lot of info about it on the internet |

The best thing to do, in my opinion, is to sit down and think about what exactly it is that you wish to accomplish, then go about figuring out a way to do it. It is really not too difficult, when you think about it. If you want some more help on this, just send me a PM and I would be glad to help. |

There is probably a large city near you that has a big building called a "library." These "libraries" have vast numbers of "books." "Books" are objects made of sheets of paper that have information printed on them. These sheets of paper are then gathered together and "bound" in what book publishers call a "case" and what the rest of the world calls a "cover." These "books" are organized by categories. If you go to one of these "libraries," there will be some kind of a catalog, either on cards or on a computer, that will show you the general contents of the "books." Okay -- this response has been somewhat condescending. But there's a point. Most of the really good information about magic isn't on the internet. It's in books. Some of it is on DVD's. You aren't going to find all your answers by googling for them. You are going to have to actually do some research. I don't mean the kind of research where you go to one library and look at a dozen books. You are going to have to actually visit a number of them. If you have the funds, you can find a lot of what you want at the Conjuring Arts web site. But it's going to cost you some money. I see by your original post and by the fact that you have tried to find what you are looking for by doing a web search that you are probably new at this.

Hmm low tolerance level for people actually trying to find sources not methods. I never actually looked for methods exposed on the net, I looked for sources containing the effect, like with this site (http://www.qualitymagicbooks.com/?nd=search), I mostly look for resources where to find a certain effect and then come read at the magic café for review about the effect before I purchase it.
But most people think that all new people to magic like me (i'm into magic for 6 years now) are only here to search for free methods, that's not me!!!. I'm not here to find new methods for free, I'm here to ask for resources where to find a certain effect and like to have the post answered by people who know more about the effect then I do. Isn't that why this forum exists? To help eachother instead of bashing eachothers head in for asking questions? Greetings, Cirrus |

I remember a time when all magic was learnt with books and comparatively, I am not really all that old. I still prefer a book to a DVD/video myself, but there are some very good sources that exist on digital media. That being said, along with what Bill pointed out, there is just too much being exposed on the internet these days. There was another thread about the best kept secrets in which someone posted, "With a credit card and access to the internet, you can buy just about any secret these days." or something like that. Sadly, this is true. Watch any magic performance on YouTube and look at the comments below if they have not been disabled: You will find 2,000 comments by every Joe and his brother that have dabbled in magic (or not) for a year or so, and list every possible way it can be done because they think they know it all. Too many people do not (or are not willing to) put any effort into researching and learning magic the way they should, and the way it deserves to be learned. The practice of this art suffers the same fate. Be sure to retain your thirst for further knowledge about this art and its history. Research with every resource available, especially books, and it will serve you well. |

I must agree, there is a huge difference between asking for secrets and methods, and merely asking for sources to research, or advice on refining a piece. I don’t think he’s crossed the line into the dark side.
There are a lot of magicians, young and old, experienced and not, who’ll sell their grandmothers to find out secrets. But there is also a crop of them coming up who are willing to pay their dues, research, read, think and create, and are actually smart enough to ask for guidance so they don’t have to reinvent the wheel. There was a fantastic lecture at Magic Live on tolerance and getting with the program. Doesn’t matter if we older guys like it or not, the Internet is here to stay, it is the preferred source of this generation, and they are educated to make the most of it. It does not mean that all of them are lazy, they are just using technology that is available to them. Is some of it bad, sure, there is exposure and poor magic online, but in our time there were also exposure books and bad magic on 16 mm film. I know it’s tough for many of us to give up our slabs of rock and chisels , and then have to bury the art of hand calligraphy for illuminated manuscripts, then they invented that darn printing press-- and now to add insult to injury, we have to lean how to work those fickle pad-ie things with the screens and finger touch! Ouch. I think it is important that we defend the integrity of magic here on the Café, say ‘no’ to those who want the easy way, and who fish for secrets without giving back. But we also have a responsibility to help, just as we were helped by the older and wiser when we were new to this craft. I know he treasures his books and grymoires, but I wonder if Merlin would approve of DVD’s and computers as learning devices? My two-cents, Walt |

I think it's just sad, how fast people think you are one of those many.
I love magic just to much to either quit, or to look for free ways. I'm even thinking of going pro and next month I'm joining a magic club, so I take this very serious. Greetings, Cirrus |

What you are searching for depends on what type of visual effect you want. If you want the old think a drink type of act, a good one is laid out for you in Jim Steinmeyer’s book called, “The Magic of Alan Wakeling”. He has an act that has the think a drink style that seems real good. Check it out.
