About the Bottles: What You Need to Know!

We want to be upfront with you about a recent issue affecting some of our orders—and how we’re handling it.
Due to a change in our supplier’s standards, the 5-gallon plastic bottles included with our products have been arriving with small dents or imperfections. While these bottles are typically used for brewing (where appearance isn't critical), we understand that for our magic routines, presentation matters. We want every part of your experience—including the props—to reflect the quality you expect from us.  

What We're Doing About It
Rather than delay current orders further while we hunt for a perfect replacement supply, we’ve decided to move forward by:
                 Sending the dented 5 gallon bottle that is still fully functional
               Issuing a $50 refund so that, if you prefer, you can source your own flawless replacement locally
               Most Orders placed after July 10, 2025 will come with a 3 gallon bottle which is great for traveling magicians.  However, if you would like a larger bottle, see the information below.   
                                 
We know this isn't ideal—and we genuinely feel terrible about the situation. After all the time you've waited, the last thing we want is for any part of your order to feel like a letdown.

What You Can Do

We’ve been hearing from many customers (and suppliers) that a lot of 5-gallon bottles currently being sold have this same dent issue, regardless of where you buy them. Because of that, here are a few alternative options:

Try a 3-Gallon Bottle
Smaller and more compact, the 3-gallon bottle works just as well in performance settings--especially for traveling magicians. In fact, many professionals already prefer the 3-gallon size for its portability. You might find it’s a better fit for your needs overall.

Consider a 6-Gallon Bottle
If size isn’t a concern, 6-gallon bottles are another good option. They’re slightly larger than the 5-gallon ones, but so far we haven’t seen denting issues with this size.

Where to Find Bottles

If You’d Like to Replace the Bottle, you can typically find 5-gallon plastic carboys (also labeled as water jugs or fermenting containers) at:
Home brewing stores (online or local)
Winemaking supply shops
Some hardware stores (especially those that carry water storage supplies)
Online retailers like MoreBeer, Northern Brewer, or Amazon Search for:
Plastic Carboy
5-gallon size (Or 3 gallon, or 6 gallon)
A smooth surface (not ribbed)
A standard opening, bottle opening needs to be approximately 2 inches wide to fit the cork gimmick properly.
