Recently in a Facebook group someone was asking about a way to make it look like their puppet was drinking. My Evaporation prop was mentioned and I immediately had some people ask me how to use the prop with one hand.
It’s not hard, here’s how:
Enjoy having your puppet drink!

When I’m on the road, I try to find projects to work on. Things that free up my time when I’m back home. A couple of weeks ago while I was on the road I was working on making my Evaporation Trick.
I found 60 of the the bottles at a store:
In my hotel room I did all of the bottle prep:
When I’m home I’ll put the gimmicks into the bottles and they’ll be ready to ship out to Murphy’s Magic Supply, then to magic dealers around the world!
Doing the bottle prep saves me a lot of time when I’m home, time I could be spending with my family. Look for ways you can use your time on the road wisely, like working on promo or whatever to free up your time when you’re home.

I frequently get asked why the standard Evaporation gimmick is Orange SunnyD. There are several reasons why this is the main gimmicked bottle. One of these reasons is visibility. For example if you used milk in the classic Magic Milk Pitcher the white liquid would virtually disappear if you were performing against a white background. … Continue reading “Why Orange Colored Liquid?”
I frequently get asked why the standard Evaporation gimmick is Orange SunnyD. There are several reasons why this is the main gimmicked bottle. One of these reasons is visibility.
For example if you used milk in the classic Magic Milk Pitcher the white liquid would virtually disappear if you were performing against a white background. You will find white backgrounds in places like:
School Gyms: Very frequently when doing school assemblies you will have a white or light gray gym wall behind you.
Theaters: I’ve performed at many performance venues in variety shows where my show took place in front of a giant white movies screen that another act was using.
Outdoor Shows: When performing at a fair or festival usually your stage will have a canopy with a walled side behind you. The majority of these that I have encountered are white.
By using a juice that is bright colored and not a color that typically appears as the main color of a backdrop you are increasing visibility for the trick. I’m sure at some point I’ve done a show in front of a bright orange background, but those are few and far between. Of course to solve this problem 100% of the time you could simply order two Evaporation gimmicks, one in orange and one in red.

The bottle for this has an additional gimmick to allow you to change the pour angle a little bit. I’m testing the Gatorade bottle in my show right now to make sure there are any unforeseen issues with the bottle. Hopefully I will have this available by the end of Stummer as an standard item.

There’s a company in China that is selling a pirated copy of the DVD that comes with the Evaporation trick. They are selling the DVD only, without eh gimmick.
the DVD is designed to compliment the physical gimmick, and not as a standalone product. so there are no instructions on how to actually make the gimmick on the DVD. So if you buy an illegal copy of the DVD I WILL NOT provide any technical support.
If you buy an unauthorized copy The only thing I can do is ask you to return it to whoever you bought it from and ask for a full refund.

Every gimmicked Evaporation bottle is handmade by me. I start with a Sunny D bottle as it’s base. Of course I can custom gimmick many different brands / types of bottles, but the stock version is a Sunny D bottle. I empty each bottle and clean them out. Then I install the gimmick and give … Continue reading “Evaporation – Raw Materials”

I empty each bottle and clean them out. Then I install the gimmick and give them a leak test. After that they are packaged up and shipped out!

One of my sources for the correct bottle to use in the Evaporation Trick had them on sale this week, so I bought them out!
There are several reasons why I use this specific bottle to install the evaporation gimmick into. The liquid color is fairly opaque which hides the gimmick better than a more see through liquid. Also this specific Sunny D bottle’s shape works better and is easier to install the gimmick into than most juice bottles.

When I make up batches of Evaporation gimmicks I do it in batches of typically at least a dozen.
When I make them I also leak test each bottle to make sure they have working seals. Sometimes in shipping the seal will get damaged, this has only happened a handful of time. This is more likely when you order your Evaporation from a magic shop and there are other heavy items in the box with it and the post office/UPS/ FedEx is practicing juggling with your box. If that happens give me a call or shoot me an email and we’ll get it sorted out for you.
