One Dream Bottle
by Ken de Courcy

A trick with a sensational climax, that defies explanation. On the performer’s table stand five bottled (or canned) drinks. All contain different drinks, but they are all the same size. A spectator is invited to mentally choose one, then they are covered by him with five identical covers and, finally, mixed so no one can know the position of any particular drink. At this point, the performer turns his back and directs the spectator to move the bottles himself. Then one by one they are eliminated until only one remains. He is asked to name the drink he chose then lift the cover from this remaining bottle. It is the one he wanted. We believe this to be something astonishing which is suitable for close-up or stage and it could be a feature in your act. All the props are very easy to find or make.
