Hi everyone,
One day I was at a magic store and I was watching a video with the magician there. I don't remember what the video was called but I do remember how the effect went.

There was a magician on stage holding a square board with a circular hole cut out in the center. He also had an orange which he vanished/produced from the hole. At the end of the routine he put the orange back into the hole and then produced a glass filled with orange juice.

I was just wondering if anyone knows this effect and what video it's on?

Quite possibly it was Jerry Andus' "Zone Zero." Check out this link.

Hey thanks Terry,
That helps me out a lot! Now I know what the effect is called. I still would like to know what video I saw it on and if it was Jerry Andus (which I don't believe it is). I think it might be a video recording at a convention or lecture. I am haunted by this!!

Greetings Truellusionist; That trick was Zone Zero, but the orange juice finish was not. That was John Carney performing on the tape and his version of Zone Zero. When I first saw this many years ago, it blew me away. At a convention I mentioned to John Carney how much I liked that presentation and he thanked me for the comments and mentioned that he hoped it would not be duplicated by magicians everywhere. As badly as I wanted to add that trick to my work, I respectfully declined to perform it as it was then and still is Mr. Carney's baby. It shows how some thought and work can make a miracle out of an already great trick.
All the Best

Thanks Marty. Now I am no longer haunted by the Images of a guy and his orange juice. Now I know the effect is Zone Zero, by Jerry Andus, Performed by John Carney. Thanks for the info guys.

Just for the record, I noticed I made a "typo" on Jerry's last name. It should be Andrus, not Andus.

I'm mentioning it here rather than editing my post, since the incorrect name has been carried on.

Sorry for this mistake!

A friend of mine contacted John Carney re: the glass of juice and asked for permission to use it. John asked him not to and out of respect, (as I hope many others do for other effects also) it was not used.

Just my thoughts,
