Silk and Bottle

Take an empty bottle from anywhere and give it out for examination. Then take the same bottle and make a silk explode into it! This gimmick is reliable and easy to use.

There's really not much to say. A silk handkerchief appears in a bottle. Pretty simple. It comes with a gimmick that does all of the work for you.

POSITIVES
I think almost any magician could pull this off. It's not technically challenging.

I think the gimmick could be used for things other than a silk. This would be a good thing (see comment below).

NEGATIVES
The "routine" that comes with it has the performer waving his or her hands around and trying to get the audience to believe he's caught an invisible silk. This is probably beyond the acting ability of most magicians and that's probably a good thing.

While the directions are readable, they could've used a run through a spell checker and a separate pair of eyes. A few errors I can forgive, but this was a bit much.

The price seems a bit high to me, but if this is something that'll work great in your act, maybe it's worth it.
