The Soft Spot

By: Cyrus Kiani

Effect: The magician shows a bottle, and a cap. He shows the cap does not
fit inside the bottle, so to get it inside he slams it from the back of the
bottle and surprisingly the cap goes right through and inside the bottle.
He shows no holes in the bottle, and gives it out for the spectator to keep
forever as a souvenir.

Materials: You need a duplicate cap with a tiny bit of wax in the middle of
it (also anything like a gum or double sided tape would work fine), a 20
oz. Gatorade bottle, and a pair of clamps or pliers. Also the plastic Snapple
bottles work as well, although Gatorade is more ideal.

FIG 1

Preparation: You need to use the pliers to bend the cap and shove it inside
the bottle, its fairly easy just make sure you dont bend the cap too much
that it stays bent inside the bottle. Also you can try doing it by hand
which is hard at first but if you squeeze while your shoving through the
top you can try to put it through. Once you got the cap inside your
going to try to balance the cap right at the end of the curve of the
Gatorade bottle. If youre using Gatorade rain then you would want to
balance it on the left hand side of the label if youre right handed.
FIG 2 If you see on a Gatorade Bottle there
are six indents or ovals on the bottle,
the cap pinches in between these ovals
as seen in FIG 5, 6 in the clear bottle. If
youre using a Gatorade Rain bottle
than you would want to balance it on
the left of the nutrition label (FIG 4),
because thats where you have cover to
hit the duplicate cap, against, but with
normal bottles it doesnt matter where
its placed, because they are not clear
like the rain

Method: You hold the bottle with your left hand (if youre right handed)
covering the cap with your hand so it seems that the bottle is empty. Take
the duplicate cap with the wax in the middle of it and hide the wax with
your middle or index finger and slam it against the back of the bottle,
make sure you slam it on the label, hiding the cap as it sticks behind the
label, as it knocks off the cap inside the bottle, looking like you just
through inside the bottle.

Then you can show both hands clearly empty turn the bottle over if you
wish making sure not to flash that duplicate cap. Then put the bottle into
the left hand as you palm the cap off. Turn the back of your left hand
facing the spectator as you can also turn the bottle showing no holes.

This picture is
palming the cap with FIG 8
the left hand as you
show the bottle.

Casually put your left hand down and give it to them to keep as souvenir.
Than ditch the cap inside your pocket while they examine the bottle.
Other Handlings: You can also slam it in if youre surrounded, and if you
have people looking overhead. You can also toss it inside with an
underhand motion.

Have the cap balanced on


the back of the bottle as
you hold the bottle down
at a 45 degree angle. The
spectator wont see the cap
when they are standing in
front of you. The label hides
it.

Throw the cap underhand inside the


left palm as you angle the bottle
down, letting the cap fall giving the
illusion that u just tossed it inside.

After you throw it in you can show


the cap inside, to the spectator, as u
cover it with you left hand. You can
also put wax on the cap, and than
stick it on with the left if you wish to
show your hands empty. Otherwise
you can just show it empty and than
palm it off and give it away for them
to keep.
