does anyone know of a site selling impossible objects? - I'm thinking of things along the lines of the late Harry Eng's bottles.
Thanks

Jamie Grant sells a deck-in-bottle on his website. I saw these at Magic Live and they are beautiful.

This website http://www.impossibottle.co.uk gives a very nice overview of things impossible, their makers and sellers.

Hiya Pete!
Thanks for the plug and the kind words- that is too kind. The other site for the "Anything Is Possible" bottle is:

if anyone's interested.
Thanks!

A bottle with one or more bottles inside is against the rules?
IMHO it's kind of like the bottles with fruit grown inside so wondering what's the objection (beyond the techincal work of shaping the bottle(s) and letting them cool safely).

I have an unpublished (I think) Harry Eng method for putting a light bulb inside a wine bottle. Unfortunately it's not a real light bulb; I have always heard Harry used only real objects in his bottles, which may be why I've never seen a picture of this one.
I had an idea to put a cigarette lighter inside a light bulb. The goal was to have a wooden base with a light bulb socket attached to it, and the light bulb screwed in to that. Ultimately I want a switch on the base that when you flip it, the lighter lights up.
I want a lot things.
