Magic Opener, 225 Malaga Ave.Coral Gables, Fl 33134, (305-448-6464): Magic Opener, which produces a wide variety of innovative bottle openers, explains how their Magic Opener products differ from any other bottle opener that came before them. Bottle openers have been around since the first bottle cap was invented in 1892 and, despite many new designs, all have tended to rely on the same principle of applying force with a fulcrum.

The most basic bottle openers on the market are mere pieces of metal with a round opening with a lip to catch the edge of a bottle cap and pull the metal upward. Speed bottle openers are flat blades of metal with a thumb hole and a letterbox cut opening to remove crown seals from a bottle. This style, often used by bartenders, operates on the same principle.

For bottles without a crown seal, such as wine bottles which are sealed with a cork, a different type of bottle opener must be used. These openers usually have a knife to remove the foil top and a corkscrew to remove the cork.

Virtually all bottle openers are designed to open only one type of bottle, whether it's a beer bottle or a wine bottle. For individuals suffering from arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome, opening other types of bottles may sometimes prove too difficult or too painful. This includes water bottles, cans of pet food, canned food with a pull tab, jars of food and soda bottles. In the past, individuals who needed assistance opening these types of bottles or jars had to rely on thin rubber mats to improve grip, which still required a great deal of exertion and did little to reduce the pain.

Magic Opener revolutionized bottle openers by creating an innovative bottle opener that opens small, medium and large soda or water bottles, as well as cans of pet food, beer bottles and more. The Magic Opener works well, easily and comfortably with an ergonomic design that's perfect for individuals with limited hand strength and those suffering from arthritis.

The Magic Opener is simply placed on the bottle or can and rotated to open any type of bottle or top and adjusts to any size. Different styles of this innovative product are now available, including the Extreme Magic Opener that opens Easily Lift Tabs, pull rings and pop tops, along with water bottles and aluminum soda cans. It's designed to be the only bottle opener necessary.
