Clink by IARVEL and WonderHouse

Created by: IARVEL, WonderHouse

Clink is a stunning close-up magic effect that creates the illusion of a bottle cap visually penetrating a sealed glass bottle. A spectator can inspect a completely ordinary, chilled beer bottle, which is then opened normally and even poured. The magician simply taps the cap against the bottle's neck, producing a convincing 'clink' sound, and the cap impossibly ends up rattling inside the bottle. This modernized version of the classic cap-in-bottle plot requires no sleight of hand, no pre-show setup, and works with any borrowed bottle. It's designed for impromptu, bar, strolling, or close-up performances, with an instant reset allowing for repeated shows. The device includes a ceramic core for an authentic metal-on-glass sound, enhancing the realism. Available in Standard and Deluxe editions, with custom cap designs (e.g., Heineken, Coca-Cola, Budweiser) and tools like a magnetic bottle opener and collapsible chopstick for easy use.

Effect

The audience sees a completely ordinary bottle. A spectator can inspect it and confirm it is sealed. The bottle is opened normally. The magician takes the metal cap and taps it against the glass neck of the bottle. A clear clink sound is heard. The cap visually penetrates the glass and falls to the bottom of the bottle, rattling inside. The entire process appears organic and impossible.
