What is Bottle Magic?
Bottle Magic, better known as Impossible Bottles, is the art of placing decks of cards and other objects into ordinary glass bottles through the neck. The bottles are not heated, cooled, cut or formed around the object. In fact, the bottles are not manipulated in any way.
The methods used are secret, difficult and time-consuming. There are only about twelve people living today who have mastered the art form. Jeff Scanlan is one of those twelve people. He is a perfectionist who puts both creativity and countless hours into his Impossible Bottles. We think that when you see them, you’ll agree.
Jeff’s artistry has garnered him clients throughout the United States and worldwide. His bottles are collected in Australia, Austria, Germany, France, Japan, England and beyond. Every bottle is individually made and proudly signed for authenticity.
Testimonials
“Jeff you are the 'Impossible Bottle Man'. I love the bottle you made for me. Although expensive, no puzzle collection is complete without at least one of them. When my non-puzzle friends/family come over, invariably, they are drawn to it. Everybody has a theory about how the deck of cards got inside but then there's the wood stopper with a cross pin wedged shut! Simply amazing!" Tom Cutrofello, Mechanical Puzzle Correspondent Games Magazine
“Jeff, The bottle you created for my client arrived today safe and sound. Thanks again for the quick turnaround. It is really perfect and a true work of art. My client, who is retiring, will have one more magical moment from me to ponder. I will certainly spread the word of you and your Bottle Magic bottles.” Seth Kramer Magician Huntington, NY
“Jeff has no equal today with this art form. His Impossible Bottles are technical and artistic masterpieces.” Gary Foshee, Puzzle Designer Issaquah, WA
