Nielsen and Harrius have now teamed up to present The Ultimate Vanishing Bottle, Coke Version.
Looks great, here's the link with the details: https://www.tannens.com/products/refille......w.SJ879d Great for family shows! Mexican coke bottles are found in most grocery and party stores in the US. |

There goes another 75 bucks from my wallet.
Looks really good and great for the times you cant use the corona bottle. |

Thanks for the heads up. Is Henry Harrius not selling it? I don't see it on his website.

Now that's a very nice looking bottle, still have and use the original ones from Nielson. Only hassle I have is finding full bottles of the size of my originals, so the fact these are the same size as the mexican coke
bottles available in stores currently is nice. NM |

I have this in hand now. Same super high quality as Refilled. The labels are vinyl just like with Refilled. The tutorial provided is the same one as the Corona bottle. I received 40 coke labels and 20 of the back label. I am very happy with this. I am sure at some point this will pop up on the Norm Nielsen or Henry Harrius site, possibly elsewhere also.

The labels that come with the effect are the ones you see in the trailer and ad pictures. Norm Nielson magic still has their Coke bottle labels on their site for the old version of the Coke Bottle. They offer no “replacement” labels at the moment that I am aware of just the ones that come with the effect. I hope that helps.

I emailed Nielson to ask if they are or would be making replacement labels that actually have the coke logo. They replied and said no. I find that super disappointing. The bottle is of amazing quality! The label looks nothing like the real thing other than it is red and white in color. I hope they eventually change their minds. The best solution I can come up with currently is using the supplied labels and sticking one to the real bottle so they at least match. |

Does it make much of a difference if the label on the Refilled gimmick doesn’t EXACTLY match the ungimmicked bottle? The spectator will never see both bottles side by side and both labels look very similar to each other to the point I doubt any spectator would notice any discrepancies…

The labels are not that close. Not at all close. And, per the instructions for Refilled (which this is a version of) the spectator is to be close enough to "clink" the glass bottle inside the paper bag with the provided bottle opener.
What made Refilled so popular was that the bottle was a perfect remake of a Corona bottle, including the labels. The largest request was that a version be made family friendly without an alcoholic beverage. This has been marketed as the fulfillment of this request. The Coke logo is perhaps THE most recognized logo in the world. Modifying to something (debatably) similar doesn't cut it in this case. Nielson has made labels for years for the older bottle designs that implement the real logo. Why change now? |

I heard the license they had for the Heinz bottle was not renewed due to the expense, so this may be a similar situation. Brands do have to defend their logos against any infringements, no matter how small. |

I'm just bummed at this. I wish there was a way to print these. I've looked. I cannot do it without a serious investment. The effect is not worth that. Though, if I change my mind and start printing them, you all know where to get them! |

These are designed to look like Mexican Coke bottles which they do look like. The Corona bottle label has an issue also, it is not exact as stated above. It’s good enough most of you missed it, just like if you set a Mexican Coke bottle next to this. This will not match anything but a Mexican Coke bottle. They are available pretty much everywhere is the USA.
They also used to make vinyl sheets for inkjet printers. I don’t know if they still do, but it would be super easy to make Coke labels if they are. I just checked Amazon they are still available. They are about $10 for 30 8 x 11 sheets. |

Looks (sounds like, pun intended) like Vanishing Inc is adding a bonus "audio convincer" to the package. Very nice idea!

I am awaiting my Vanishing Coca Cola bottle from Vanishing Inc. and am wondering if the Coca Cola bottles from Mexico all have a green tint and if so, will the Nielsen-Harris bottle match it? Thanks for any information anyone can provide.
Eric. |
