Invasion by Alex Ng & Red Tsai

Invasion by Alex Ng & Red Tsai: So, you've got a coin that vanishes and ends up inside a sealed bottle while your mate's holding it, looking like they've just seen a ghost. It's that kind of trick.

Here's the deal: you borrow a coin, make it vanish, and then it's inside a corked bottle that's been in sight the whole time. It's a fresh spin on the coin-in-bottle classic, aimed at close-up magic. And the kicker? The bottle's sealed and in their hands before the coin even thinks about making an entrance. You don't have to touch it, which is always a plus if you're prone to dropping things.

Just press a button. A wireless remote handles everything from up to 8 metres away, because sometimes you just want to stay out of arm's reach.

Two options here. Instant if you want it to happen right away, or a 5-second delay if you're feeling theatrical.

The cork's not bad. Looks like a proper cork and most people won't think twice about it. You get a trick cork and a regular one, so you can switch them out and let everyone have a nosy.

Built for examination. The tutorial covers how to pass around the bottle and cork without giving away the secret. Might take a few goes to get it smooth, but that's half the fun, right?

Routines are included. You'll learn:

Works with different coins and fits in nicely for close-up, parlour, or bar magic. Just don't let anyone try to drink from the bottle afterwards.

Pairs well with Cube in Bottle. It's the same style used for Henry Harrius's Cube in Bottle. Do a coin first, then follow up with something bigger if you're feeling cheeky.

Here's what's in the box:
