how is this possible

[ilovepinatas3179]

don't quote me on this but i think that since the forks are wedged together the match acts as the fulcrum on the glass holding all the weight and the forks being identical are counterweights for each other making it balance perfectly.

[clothingonly]

Good music

[HANWIND100]

holy christ thats awesome

[mistermuffin420]

so since the forks form a V shape, the centre of mass lies right on the match head. sweet.

[legoman762]

it hard to explane umm its like u want to put it close to the egde it would be heavy and it will start balincing on its own. srry for my spelling

[emcamev]

Song?

[Churchboy587]

It's called the center of mass. The match creates a center of mass on the cup whenever the forks are placed on the match.

[adalwolf12]

i'm quessing the handles of the forks are balancing them...

[TheTrav55]

thersi a hole idet

[honorific88]

The exact same physics process is used in cranes and the ruler/hammer trick. It doesn't matter where you distribute the weight, as long as the weight is equal across the axis it will balance.

Really people it's not rocket science...

[MrDeflolor]

when its balancing try burning the end without the forks and it will stay there :D

[Marni522]

yayyyy!!! i did it!!!it works!!!

[rahkshifan99]

DAMMIT Newton!!

[AlexTackaberry]

Lol it's difficult but it does work.

[thanatosii7]

I have lost faith in humanity

[TheSetiabudhi]

someone pls report this bug to the god...

[TheHallBoys2]

@TheSetiabudhi someone call 911 fals alarm

[DankCinema]

i want to do this....to bad i dont have forks from the 1800's and matches bc we use lighters it is great! try it!

[TylerThrowdown16]

i actually like this song lol

NECKK!!!!

[DjUndying1]

MUTE

[datyje]

how is this possible that u got that many views

[n00bXafif]

damn gravity u scary

[Nasrotag]

Interesting, but the music is really bad!

[MorningStar3251]

I did that with a coin instead of a match. Also I didn't interlock the forks. I just over lapped them.

[MrSkinnyBill]

not as impressive as the hammer under a ruler (search it)

[catlover580]

unfitting music!!!!!

[TheHariputtar]

its known as center of gravity people

the fork is bent inwards in the glass 

[OhhChihuahua]

What song is playing? I like it :P

[DoganMatija]

(facepalm)

If you really think this is impossible go back to grade school.

[theatregeek69321]

wats the name of the song? It's very interesting, i like it

[chaosaxis]

*Brain Explodes*

[misscillialane]

CORNY

[jim3935]

i believe its possible because the weaght of the handle of the fork is farther that the tip of the match making it balance.

[crimsonwhine]

wow wtf??????

somebody please explain to me how the FUCK the end of the match stick balances out the weight

[crimsonwhine]

@crimsonwhine holy fuck never mind i think i just figured it out ^_^

the end of the forks stretches out 2 near where the end of the match stick is

so its the forks that are balancing the weight not the matchstick ^_^ i so smart :D

[bajsmumin]

what the fuck.

[Kenny8985]

the song is goood

[stealthydude50]

I love doin dis

[jjrocksace]

the orange juice was just unnecessary. show off.

[animehobo]

What's the name of the song?

[ThePady95]

@animehobo Big City Life by Mattafix

[kidramez]

PHYSICS XD

[renbairen]

Guys! it's simple! the center gravity of the two fork is enough to balance each other !

[ArmageddonStar]

How is This Possible? it just is

[toontownrox406]

it works because the red part of the match holds it so it dont fall

[pwnzorgod]

@toontownrox406 wrong

you can do this with a toothpick as well

[fhs31053]

answering before 38 seconds

i know what that is u put the matchstick in between two forks and it balances on one finger if you hold it by the matchstick

[Zomg14231]

NO! NO! STOP! that works??! D:

[benneb07]

The center of gravity of the two forks is close enough to the glass to make them balance.

[DjElectricBlue]

It' s official this guy is the human form of Mewtwo

[soopasnowman]

i wanna do it but i cant even get the forks to stick together D:<

[ManeezTheOne]

@soopasnowman i got the same problem :(

[TheSNODFART]

DEAR @soopasnowman try it with 1 fork and 1 butter knife

[pokemaster1234567899]

@soopasnowman You just interlock the tines :P

[DxOxTxSxBand]

all it is is balance. very perfect balance

[9PITA6]

whats the song? :)

[benneb07]

@9PITA6 Big City Life by Mattafix :)

[Lelouch912]

oh dude i used to to have a toy that would do this its cuz of the spoons having the ends like weights

[bonyfingers13]

ITS BULLSHIT HE IS USING TELEKENISES I KNOW IT

[dsdragonspawn]

it is once you have a center of gravity and brn the other half off the center of gravity stays on that on spot so the forks wont fall its simple if you think about it

[BlueAmphithere]

my brother taught me this a while back, I still dont really know how it works

[DancingGummiBear]

song please

[pandabuba1000]

@DancingGummiBear ....-big city live :D

[Jontium1]

The ends of the fork are acting as a counterbalance

[felix402]

I have the same glasses/cups as you! :D

[decemberblue07]

Shoulda lit the match! :D

[Puniksem]

A very old party tick, one of simple balance.

[melaniestar1271991]

use a cooking match (longer) then set fire to it, it'l stay balancing where it was on the very tip of the glass

[12m41l]

this is easy, it got same weight on left and right. and the stick balance it

[seblor]

the most amazing part of the trick is left out. Set fire to both ends of the match and see what happens!!!

[fullyhyperlite]

i love mattafix

[tutorialsandstuff]

song is big city life by mattafix

[magica2z]

good , but very old trick,,, we know this more than 25 years ago

[gymnasten123]

Yeah, I did this 37 years ago as 7 years old :D

[sketch435]

theres a wire in the cup holding the match like a leaver

[greendayfan199]

actually no try the trick

[buzzafire12]

its a plastic cup and he cut a lil hole and u can see how he uses his hand to block wat he was doing

[oorreeooss]

lol if there was a hole the match woulda bent

[ozzyqt]

please before you start saying " oh he did this oh it is a fake" TRY IT!! it actually works! my papa showed me when i was about 11 years old!

[rapmaster7550]

@ozzyqt papa

[ashindecosta]

actualy no you can try it on any surface they make kids toys that do the same thing its an old trick

[nidzica5]

u just have to find the real positio :))

[thiaguito157]

whats the song`s name?

[summrgrl4eva]

i tried that and it didnt work :(

[berkanengin]

lol, haven't you ever got a little toy bird who balances on the tip of your finger when you were little?

[SBT300]

Center of Gravity. Big deal. Boring...

[xemlushe16]

yea u are right..it's all related to gravity theorem :)

[adamopacino]

how is this possible?
