Last week I was having lunch with a couple of magician friends, and jamming magic tricks.  This is one of the best ways to create magic, it to just riff on ideas. 

We came up some some interesting ideas and expanded on some existing ideas.  

When I’m out somewhere I like to think of ideas for magic tricks using things around me.  This day we were at the LunchBox Lab in Seattle.  On their tables they have seven different flavors of salt.  So here’s a quick trick I did with the salt:

This trick is nothing ground breaking from a method standpoint, it’s essentially a card trick done with salt.  In this situation using their salt gave it a feeling of being unplanned, and I think that made it feel more amazing to the waitress.  

TLDR:  Think about doing magic tricks with things around you. 

Trick I think would be cool…

A magic trick that’s been in my head and I think would be cool is to have an empty coffee cup on the table. You pour coffee, milk and sugar into it and Then mix it up with a spoon. when you turn it over black coffee comes out which you pour into a small … Continue reading “Trick I think would be cool…”

A magic trick that’s been in my head and I think would be cool is to have an empty coffee cup on the table. You pour coffee, milk and sugar into it and Then mix it up with a spoon. when you turn it over black coffee comes out which you pour into a small glass. Then you tip it over second time and milk comes and finally the third time pouring out dry sugar, leaving you with an empty cup.

I don’t have a method for this yet.

I think the evaporation gimmick would help out in achieving this effect. I also think the spoon would be a good way to steal or add something into the cup.

If you have any ideas feel free to let me know!

Evaporation – Raw Materials

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!

Stocking Up on Evaporation!

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 … Continue reading “Stocking Up on Evaporation!”

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.

Evaporation Tests…

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 … Continue reading “Evaporation Tests…”

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.

Cooking Up a Batch of Evaporation!

I’m making up another batch of Evaporation tricks, it’s only slightly more effort to make at least a dozen than to make only one.   Maybe one of these will end up in your show? Louie http://www.EvaporationTrick.com

  3. Can you pour liquid out after the vanish?
