Am not sure what’s the name of the artist who does these, but he surely made me wonder! I mean, this wouldn’t be so complicated if you sliced the bottles bottom off and simply insereted all these objects inside, but as I understood he makes them in a regullar way placing everything through bottle’s neck. How is it done? Can someone help me solve this? Oh, and if you have any ideas about the author or his website, post it here so I can give him some credits, because he obviously deserves some! Previously I posted “Impossible Objects no.3″ which you’ll adore if you liked this new post.

uhhh guys what if the stuff is just behind the bottles its glass you ar looking into an empty bottle whith stuff behind it? what do you think?
Go to that site that the guy WAY up there said. He sells them, so they cant be just trick photography.
I work in glass and I can tell you that the temperatures involved in “simply leaving a hole and heating it to attach the lid” would make it impossible to assemble the bottle around the objects. It would destroy the objects.
In response to the person who asked how you cut a hole in a bottle, I can tell you that it’s easy. But, putting it back on is the hard part, especially without it showing. You can’t do it.
As to the impossible bottles, I have done some simple ones, such as a nut, bolt, and washer through a dowel that will barely fit through the neck of a soda bottle. It can be done, but it takes patience.
just look:

and there are a lot of other videos with examples
cut out the bottom with a glass cutter, put the stuff in and put the bottom back while using fire to make it look as it was never cutted.
its so obvious -.- how could anyone dont get it?
I agree with hertbert.35.
but i think u just open the bottom and stuff big things in it and cliose the bottom but you dont use the fire because sometimes the stuff inside might get hot and burn!!!!i still like the picture!
People. What about the Rubik’s Cube? If you don’t know how to solve it, then you say that they’re cheating in some way, that it’s obviously fake. But then, if you find out how to do it, then you say, “Oh, that was easy.” It’s the same with these bottles. Use your head, and with the right logic, you can put these things in. It’s these people in the world that say things are faked if they don’t get the solution in 10 seconds flat.
apparantly harry eng designed his own vice that cud be disassembled and reassembled inside a bottle.
apologies for the slack english
It is a matter if technicality. I believe that the people who make these make the claims that all objects in the bottle were placed… yadda yadda yadda. simply because the only physical object in this bottle is a cleverly designed photograph or detailed 3d drawing of the objects. Yes all objects were put in through the neck! one sheet of photo paper.
I think that there is no bottom, technically it would be the side, but since it is on it’s back and is cleverly put next to a wall, it looks like it’s standing.
maybe… the bottles were split in half to get the objects inside, then somehow put back together with the seams on the sides so we can’t see them. it makes sense to me, at first I agreed with derk, but that wouldn’t explain the decks of cards hanging from a rope attached to the cover.
Are the bottles extra large so the items fit through the neck easily, but then filled with water to make them appear larger?
Lodge87, I think you just figured it out. I mean, almost everything that’s inside water looks bigger, so, maybe, that’s it. And, b4 everyone asks about the card decks, they’re protected by a plastic (duh!), so the water doesn’t destroy it…
Cheers!
Oh, and in the 9th one, probably the bottle WAS cut in half — horizontally-wise — for there is a slightly visible red line above the “bicycle” word in the card deck.
Cheers (again)!
No water, no cutting the bottle… no real tricks. We assume when we see the items in the bottle that they were put in the bottle whole. The cards are taken out, the box curved and put back together with essentially long skinny pliers, but not really pliers. The knots are all tied inside the bottles. Rubik’s cubes can be taken apart. The bolts, etc. are all put in after the item is in the bottle. Scissors are put in in two pieces. The shoes have very soft soles and can be bent easily, just like the language books. Also the tennis balls all have small holes poked in them, have basketball needles inserted, then are deflated, put in the bottle, and inflated.
Ahaha, franx,
Those red lines,
Are part of the bicycle deck cards,
You’ve obviously never held an unopened pack of cards before,
That red line is to tear open the plastic.
Haha Franx,
You’ve obviously never bought or held and unopened pack of Bicycle cards,
That red line is to help you tear open the plastic
maybe the person who did this cut open the back of the bottle and puts in the items. Then takes the picture from the front.
They just filled the bottles with water to make everything look bigger… Duh and you just put plastic covers over the objects that have paper. It took me a while to figure out though well done!
there’s no bottom to the bottle, duh!
Similar to what other people said, we only assume that the items in the jar are like the items they represent. The washer may not be steel, the box of cards may be empty, the book may not have real pages in it, the tennis balls may be cut in the back, the shoes may have softer soles. Also have you seen the egg in a small necked beaker trick. With the right physics and force larger objects can be coerced into a seemingly too small container. I also agree with the “ship in a bottle theory’. things being assembled inside the container.

Climb off your high throne and realize your farts stinks just like the rest of us. I am quite sure you are not all knowing, all seeing, and all powerful. And the fact that you refused to identify yourself proves that you are insecure that you don’t want to be challenged. You speak as if you are better than all yet you say things that have been posted before as if you where the first to write them. Also not everyone in the entire world speaks English as a primary language and if I am not mistaken the writer of this blog doesn’t either. So many of them try to post n English for the sake of ignorant people like yourself who can’t speak their language so you too can understand the post. They may not be able to follow all the grammar rules and spelling posed by our language. So either give them a break, be more understanding, or if you can’t, keep your nasty little critical posts to yourself because you aren’t better than all and no one cares about the ignorant criticisms you make.
These are all objects that can be foldedm compressed, or disassembled and re-assembled once inside the bottle. Similar to how a ship in a bottle is done (when someone isn’t cheating and cutting the bottle – and it’s easy to tell when that was done. Even the Rubik’s cube can be taken apart into small enough pieces to fit into a bottle and then re-assembled with the right tools and a LOT of patience. The (pre-drilled) card decks would have to be re-filled a few cards at a time, and the bolt added inside the bottle. Tennis balls, flat soled shoes, and pocket dictionaries can be compressed or rolled small enough to force into a bottle. Soft metal can be bent and re-formed with tools. Tying the knots is probably one of the more frustrating parts of the endeavor. I admire the patience required to construct these.
In soma cases, its possible to put the stuff in pieces, stuff them into the bottle, and reconstruct them inside. But the tennis ball bottle is weird…..
First the stuff is placed into a bottle, than the bottom of the bottle is fastened somehow. There is no other way!
First the stuff is located into the bottle which still does not have a bottom and then the bottom is fastened. There is no another way!
maybe hes an incredible painter
If one more person says they cut the bottom off I’m gonna beat the hell out of them!
To all the people saying that these bottles are fakes, I can assure you they are real!!!!!
You can make them, buy them, see them and touch them but you still don’t believe they are real, but I bet you believe in god that you can not touch, see, buy or make. But you pray to him and some even say he talks to them. Hmmm imaginary friends talking to you there is a name for this disease its schizophrenia.
