  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

  • Facebook:
I can't find the link to place an order.  Looked all over the place.  If they're for sale now, it's a really well-kept secret how to buy them...
Right under the picture at the very top is a Buy Now button.

Anyway, These look SICK! By far my favorite clips of all time, but I just don't have the money right now and I don't really collect clips.

Ooooooh.  NOW I see it.  It read so much like a blog post that I looked in the store - it's not listed there!

That's awesome Jamie! Congrats!
At first I didn't think anything of the clip, but I am surprised by what it has turned into!

At first when I seen this card clip a while back it didn't do anything for me.  Now as I keep looking at it and watching Jamie talk about it in his video, it made me change my mind.  I respect Jamie and all the hard work that he puts into his art.  Whether the public likes it or not doesn't matter to him and it shouldn't.    I love his AIP Bottles and have 3 of them.  So yeah, I will be ordering his card clip tonight.  It looks really nice and you can definitely add me as a backer of Jamie D. Grant.

I didn't pick one up because of the price. I love how it looks and I know that there was a lot of work put into it. I understand why the price is what it is but for a card clip, its just a little too much for me. (at least it isn't $350 like someone else)

Well you know I picked one up and am looking forward to it. It is a little pricey, but the artistry in it and details look worthwhile. I think you have to judge value based on an individual basis and not necessarily compare apples to oranges. :)

Same here. I hope these are successful. Maybe you could sell them through Kickstarter? I appreciate the hard work put into these and I admire you for that. Best of luck.

Nathan - Kickstarter isn't really a shopping mall as much as it is a place for artists and entrepreneurs to raise funds for projects that normally would have required finding a small number of large investors.  It allows them instead to find a large number of small investors.  My point here is that it's clear to me that Jamie Grant has the funds he needs to bring this product to market - he obviously felt that Kickstarter fundraising wasn't necessary.

You should have let him think it was a million dollars!  :))  More nice clips for us!


This will go on my wedding gift list, to be certain.  It's a clip and a sweet gaff.

  • Irony is the "b" in subtle
Sorry re-hashing old thread. Searched "impossible bottles" and found some threads.

Like others here, I find these kind of things not only art and magic related, but a great cognitive exercise. I have looked at almost every picture/post/book that discuss "impossible bottles". (Not literally but many hours nevertheless trying to figure it out) ;) *without much luck to date* have not had enough time to really sit down and try. It's on the "to-do"list

I enjoy the thought of thought, and have tried myself *briefly* using a empty packet of cigarettes. I respect Jamie's wishes not to engage in "divulging" the methods. It would be great for the occasional hint mind you which I am semi sure those that know the "how" do help in suggesting to others, pointers. (I may be mistaken here -it seemed to be the general vibe on a few forums, if you had put in your time reading/trying/thinking and were serious)

Harry Eng must have been an amazing person based on the things others have written about him, much like his home made detachable vice
which in itself is an engineering feat.

I do hope the art of producing such works is passed on to others

I look forward to the day, when I achieve even halve the looks some of these guy's can produce, I can not get how a lock can go into a bottle. I must be over thinking it!

edit: here's one I recently found.

Found this listing and thought it was pretty interesting.

http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/Anything-Possible-Bottle-Smoke-and-Mirrors-v6-Dan-and-Dave-rare-/170876389383?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27c906c807#ht_533wt_1139

So I can send Jamie any deck and he will be able to put it in the bottle at a cost?

No need to apologize for reviving a thread.  It's like dusting off an old treasure...

We've pretty much stopped discussing the how and why of it all, largely out of respect to Jamie Grant.  If you put enough thought into something - anything - you're likely to figure out how it's done (or how to find the guy who can do it).  I think you can rest assured that the art of cramming big things into small-necked bottles will not end if and when Jamie retires!

Sort of.  I think he charges $100 for a custom job, and I'm thinking he can't do decks that he's already done under license for other companies - such as that D&D deck you saw on the eBay listing.  He's got standard Bikes on his site, all done and ready to purchase, too.

Check out his website for more details.  I haven't seen him around here much lately so I'm guessing work is keeping him busy.

It doesn't seem like it since they are now on sale without sign of AIPs. Maybe they will be re-releasing a limited quantity inside a bottle once they sell out?

Judging from Russell's statement, seeing as how he's half of Circle City Cards, the ones bringing the Hornet deck to the market, I wouldn't rule out an AIP just yet, Nathan...

It's been mucho, mucho too long since I've been on here! But I've been absolutely buried in work. It feels good to be back among those that love cards as much as I do!

And you guys spoke, & I listened! Straight black and waaaaay lighter (it ways the exact same amount as 27 playing cards- pick up a pile and give it a test)...

The VAULT, now in BLACK ALUMINUM

As always, thanks for taking the time to look and comment. If it wasn't for you guys, people like myself would never get the chance to make things we love.
