Max Shot by Sinbad Max and Ochiu Magic

Effect

The audience sees a magician produce a shot glass from thin air, first empty and then filled with liquid. The glass can also vanish cleanly. The effect is versatile, allowing for different presentations such as appearing from a napkin, notebook, or even a roulette-style routine. The two-phase routine, where the glass first appears empty and then fills with liquid, adds depth to the illusion.

Full Details

Max Shot is a magic system designed for vanishing and producing shot glasses, including those filled with liquid. The kit includes:

• One real shot glass and one silicone shot glass.
• A handkerchief and a microfiber cloth for handling and maintenance.
• Two caps for liquid control.
• A 50-minute tutorial covering setup, handling, and multiple routines.

The system supports various performances, such as direct production from a napkin or silk, a two-phase routine (empty glass first, then filled), and notebook productions. The gaffed glass is praised for its realistic appearance.

Who Should Consider the Trick

Max Shot is recommended for intermediate magicians due to the need for skill and audience management. However, beginners can learn it with practice. It suits performers who want a clean, multi-phase routine with liquid productions. Those who perform in bars, parties, or close-up settings will find it especially useful.

Information on How Difficult It Is to Perform

The trick requires practice to master, particularly for smooth handling and timing. The reset is quick, and the angles are excellent for 360-degree performances. Beginners may need more time to get comfortable with the method, but the tutorial provides clear guidance.
