Entertaining
That was a really great effect, and I was entertained despite a rather serious persona that was taken on. I liked to see a full face and body rather than just hands. However, you took the bottle out of the frame so it looks suspicious. As for the effect, there is a similar, maybe better (if you can keep the bottle in the frame or if the card is a free selection) effect here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuxmG2Dh9bQ

If I'm correct, taking the bottle out of frame had nothing to do with the method, yeah? Very clever, it's a great spin on an old idea. This is a really cool combination of card to anywhere and cap in bottle effects. It does look the same as the video Bryson linked; although I like your performance of it better.
It says in the description that there's no force? If that really is a free selection then this trick has suddenly become much more intriguing.
Great performance! Although there are many similar effects to this out there, props to you on discovering a method on your own.
I think I would actually suggest using a forced card. Once the card is in the bottle, the spectator will immediately want to examine it, and see what card it is, and taking it out and having to turn it over onto the deck to reveal the card, is very fishy and anticlimactic.
I know that for magicians, of course saying 'no force' makes it sound cooler, but for real people, card forces are extremely practical and ultimately I think it would improv the effect to immediately hand out the bottle with the card inside.
Just my thoughts. What do you guys think about using forces in tricks? Does it matter to you whether you use a force or not? I'm interested to know.

yes I agree with you.I have perform this to the real audience and they freaked out when I do the force version.if I do force technique,here is how this trick looks like:

Fantastic
It looks much better with the bottle in the frame, even better than the video I posted, but I agree with Zach, forcing is the best way to do it. With the time between choosing the card and the revelation, the idea of the magician "making them choose that card," won't cross the spectator's mind. The spectator who doesn't know what "forcing a card" is, rarely thinks about it. I've performed whole effects with just a force card as the method, so I can beef up the presentation, and it flies right past them. As for Shock Penetration 2.0 it does look like a great trick, and although the plot is similar to others, your method is really good.
