performance:
THE METHO Borrow a bottle of drink or hand yours out for thorough examination. When your spectators are happy it is completely normal take the bottle and remove the top, tip a small amount of liquid into a glass or onto the floor to show it flowing freely. The gimmick should be secretly concealed in one of your hands. As the gimmick is transparent it is fairly easy just to clip it in your fingers unnoticed.Place your fingers of one hand on top of the bottle secretly placing the gimmick on the bottle top ![]() Turn the bottle upside down and slowly remove your fingers. You will find that the small circular piece of plastic will actually stay stuck to the mouth of the bottle! Your spectators will be amazed that the liquid is staying inside the upturned bottle! To 'prove' there is nothing over the opening you can proceed to push a few matches or toothpicks through the hole in the gimmick, up into the bottle. This is the killer move for most people they just can not understand how you can push items in the bottle without the liquid coming out. Even when you perform this illusion in practice it still looks cool, especially when you push a match into the neck and it slowly rises up into the bottle. After you have pushed two or three matches or toothpicks into the bottle place your fingers over the bottle top again and tip it upright. Secretly remove the gimmick and hand the bottle out for examination once more. TIP: As an alternative ending keep the bottle upside down and give it a little squeeze (or shake if the bottle is glass) make a magical hand gesture at the same time and the gimmick will fall off and the liquid will come flowing out. Because the gimmick is clear it will not be seen falling. When the effect is over secretly pick the gimmick up off the floor. TIP: For extra fun perform this effect over a spectators head. Just make sure nothing goes wrong! You also Can buy the gimmick its only 1 dollar!: http://www.etrickshop.com/Beginner_M..._Cap_5484.html here you see how to make the gimmick (not made by me) Its The best If you Perform It at Night So they Cant See The Gimmick ENJOYN! credits Not all goes to me i wass shockd when I watched The real explanation IT needs Plastic Bubbles Have it ?? than mail me so i can explain the other part

"Everything can be immediately examined: the empty bottle, the spectator, you, the water, the street, everything."
I am pretty sure this is not it. It works, but watch the E video. Watch when he lets you look up into the bottle. I think I know what it is. Completely different. This is not the same as a cap. If this vid is the legit "Flow", then there is no cap. //merged// Watch the water as the camera comes up close. No plastic cap there. The power behind this illusion is that you can look inside and see water suspended, just hanging out in the air inside the bottle. You won't see a plastic cap inside, a flat clear surface which the water can't get through. I have an idea of what the gimmick is, and it is amazingly clever. In fact, I am pretty sure I can see it in that clip, sinking to the neck of the bottle. There is a good reason the gimmick has a lifespan. I ordered it, and will let you know more when I can.

Look around the forums.
http://forum.exomagic.com/showthread...highlight=flow There you go. Most people don't like it at all, but I do. It gets great reactions, it's just a little bit of a pain. PS - I agree in whole about the DVD. Waste of money. The guy is a toolbox. Can't teach. The gimmick that comes with it is better than you will find in stores, but not by a lot. I wouldn't have wasted my money if I knew then what I know now.

There is a knack to applying the gimmick. It is quite tricky. I'm not sure if Dan's teaching helps though...

Exactly. He acts like it almost works itself, yet it is actually kind of a pain in the butt until you really get used to it. His teaching is next to worthless.
