Nick Lewin’s Ultimate Multiplying Bottles Routine

“Now you will always have a strong closer to your show for the rest of your career.”

– Ken Brooke

In 1965, I had the privilege of learning the Multiplying Bottles from the legendary Ken Brooke, who utilized it as a powerful finale for his performances. My lessons were concise, and upon completion, Ken remarked, “Now you will always have a strong closer to your show for the rest of your career.” His words proved to be true! After fifty years of incorporating this effect, it has consistently captivated audiences. I am thrilled to announce the release of a DVD that not only covers Ken’s foundational routine but also includes the enhancements and nuances I’ve developed over the years.

My initial lesson, which was quite an investment at the time, focused on the art of handling the genuine glass—throwing it in the air, catching it, and returning it to the table. Ken emphasized, “Now you can always make it clear that you are working with a real glass!” The second lesson revolved around managing the loaded stack of bottles, ensuring they appeared as natural as the glass itself. This was a masterclass in effective magic, and every penny spent learning from the incomparable Brooke was worth it.

Over the years, I refined the routine into a stunning mini-illusion that has become a centerpiece of my professional performances. This routine imparts essential timing and rhythm, crucial for engaging an audience. It teaches how to enhance the effect by making each bottle production visible and addresses everything from introductory tricks to selecting the right tables for various settings. For the first time, I am sharing every detail and nuance I’ve discovered about this remarkable piece of magic. This DVD will enable you to perform this classic routine swiftly and accurately with minimal learning time.

“Nick’s handling of the bottles is the best I have seen…”
