Imp Bottle

 (1)

A small bottle is placed on the table by the performer. He proceeds to lay the bottle on its side with ease. Any one else attempting to make the bottle lie down is guaranteed to fail. The bottle simply refuses to lie down for anyone but the magician. And, the bottle can be examined.
