Default Modified IMP Bottle design

HI Guys!

I want to make a 'imp bottle' where it does two maybe three tricks...

You know the long narrow mouthed bottle that you suspend via a rope or wand (via hidden ball)... Well I am going to make one of those with a sneaky addition, in that it will have two channels on opposite sides of the wall for some invisible thread to run UP and BACK down mouth of the bottle (and out the bottom). I will make the bottom have a big magnet in it to secure it in place. This way anything I put in it will be lifted and thrown out (via the thread).

Yes, I know it is a simple trick. But it look nice with a big ARTSY bottle for display. I am planning on a green bottle with a imp on it. The story will go he could get out ... If 1) he chose to stop eating (never happen) or 2) I forget to feed him (and then wake up with an angry pip squeak biting me!).

Because of the shape of the bottle and I have the tread I wondering if I can make it up right itself if put on it's side. I know they make small bottles that do so ... I think those are gravity feed but I don't know because I have never seen one.

Any clues? Is it a rounded shaped bottom with held liquid?

Thanks!

I started to think this one through and I think the trick is to make it rest on the mouth of the bottle and off set it on a slight tilt. Inside the bottle is a compartment again at a tilt with liquid in it - the chamber is divided. When you tip the bottle from the bottom down the water slowly leaks into the second chamber and builds up till it breaks the balancing point. Ta Da! a PK imp bottle!
I just finished the frame and it totally reminds me of a bong. I just learned how to make paper mache fire proof and if I were a little younger it would have proven handier. Also can you imagine the results of a cool effects of a demon possessed bong on your totally baked friends. I might have to pursue this because they'd sell like hot cakes to some of my buddies still into that scene. I always was the ONE HIT wonder because I did it so infrequently that I never built up a tolerance. Cigarettes almost had the same effect with me and were cheaper (and just as nasty!) Just a heads up... It is funny to watch from outside... Bad to be in it. Drugs will take you no where fast!
