but what about the deck of cards still in the wrapper?

The cellophane is carefully removed without damaging it. Then the cards are taken out of the box, the box can bend or be taken apart at the seams also, then reassembled and glued together again inside. The each card (or a few at a time) are bent just enough to fit through the neck of the bottle, then the cellophane is reassembled around the deck.

a lot of work for just a novelty item. someone has too much time on their hands. Would have been better off as a surgeon or something.

It's killing me.... I know I've seen how to do it at some point in the past, but I just can't recall
(grr!)
All I can remember is it's something most people wouldn't think of... and pretty simple.
I keep thinking that if you boil the wood, it becomes soft and plyable, but I'm not sure that's how it's done.

How did they do the ring through the coin? Assuming both are solid pieces, how is that possible? I doubt the coin is wooden.

assuming makes an ass out of you and.....oh i forget the rest, but it's inconsequential and or false anyway.

he never says they are both solid, the ring was glued together. there is a reason the ring is wood, it's the easiest to mend back together and made to look whole again.

now the arrow pics he does say they were never cut. in this case it's also a clue that only wood is used for the arrows, wood can be worked when wet into odd shapes and then bent back again into the shape you see in the pic.

just my guesses, can't believe it's not obvious.
