Random I-Tunes Song of The Moment: Long Live Rock 'n' Roll by Rainbow

Paul Harris Presents Water Works by Uday Jadugar Reviewed

Two gimmicks, 1 DVD, 1 water bottle, 1 portable prop carrier/gimmick reset helper thingy and $40 bucks. Is it gem or is it rubble? Stay tuned to find out.

Effect

Simply put, you turn an open water bottle upside-down and the water doesn't come out of the water bottle. Further, you can stick objects right into the bottle while it's upside-down.

Method

The method is an extremely clever and simple to use gimmick. It's easily brought into and out of play with no fishy moves, no switches, no palming, etc. It's the type of gimmick that you can use over and over and over again with no problem. You'll be able to do it right out of the box (after watching the DVD).

Ad Copy Integrity

The ad copy is solid. There are two things, however, that need clarifying. First, while it's true that the spectator can drink from the bottle, the must do it before (or after) you've made the water defy gravity. This is not a problem of ad copy accuracy, but rather ad copy clarity.

Secondly, the video teaser shows the mouth of the bottle as the blue ball is dropped into the water bottle. Then the camera cuts the bottle upside down. There is one thing you have to do between those two moments that makes the effect work. However, it is done openly without the spectators knowing that you're doing it. Again, not an accuracy problem, but clarity problem. The one thing that you need to do is all part of the presentation that you're taught.

Two points of clarity aside and the ad copy is 100% solid.

Product Quality

The product quality is excellent. The gimmicks are well made and engineered perfectly. When you see how the gimmick works, you'll understand just how precise and amazing this gimmick is. The price is very reasonable for what you're getting. The DVD is well produced and very easy to navigate. Everything is taught clearly and is easy to follow.

Final Thoughts

Products like this are easy to review. There's not much to say. It does exactly what it says it does with a gimmick that is well machined that hides in plain site. It's super easy and super clever. If you like the effect, you'll find that the $40 bucks is $40 bucks well spent. Though this comes with a bottle, you can use any water bottle that is the same style/type/etc. as the supplied one. Aquafina seems to be the right bottle.

Final Verdict:
5 Stars with a Stone Status of GEM!
