Harry Eng’s Impossible Bottles.

By Alex in Everything Else on Dec 9, 2005 at 1:01 am

Harry Eng, a former minister and elementary school teacher (and magician), created these impossible bottles.

From the website:

"Harry would tell you straight away that everything went through the neck of the bottle and that all of his bottles were standard, off the grocery shelf variety. No monkey business with the bottle. The stuff inside? That’s up to you to figure out. "

    Hey, I just found your site with Harry’s bottles. I’ve been making Impossible Bottles for about 3 years now. I’m trying to follow in Harry Eng’s footsteps.

    If you’d like to see some of my Impossible Bottle creations ( I call mine Bottl Magic Bottles), then check out http://www.bottlemagic.com

    Puncture the ball in the fuzzy area with a small drill (so no one realises what you have done). Get one of those needles used to inflate a basketball and stick in in this hole. Now you can squeeze the ball and collapse it to a smaller size.

    Where can I get information on how to do this? I think it’s great. I have never had a real hobby, but this would be great to do. Any information would be very much appreciated.
