One of the many highlights of Rich Marotta's Comedy Magic instructional video series was his routine using the rubber vanishing bottles that Nielsen Magic manufactures.

Since shooting the videos the Ketchup bottles changed in shape so he now performs the routine using coke bottles and beer bottles, depending on the audience.

The basic routine is a quick sucker effect where you place a bottle of salad dressing into a paper bag, wave your hand and it changes into a ketchup bottle. You repeat this until the audience begins to suspect that you have two bottles. That is when you crumple the bag and throw it away, proving that the ketchup bottle disappeared.

Through the instructional series he performed and taught the routine twice. Once using the presentation for comedy clubs and once with his partner Twila Zone as a two-person routine which they perform in their theater shows.

This video includes both performances and explanations so you can adapt the best of both for your particular style.
