    Hi, MrsNoutmy. I can also make you appear here. I could use magic, but I will probably send you an airplane ticket, instead. That would be safer for you. : )

  • LOL! There's no magnets or mirrors! Why do people think magic is always done with mirrors and magnets? It's just invisible thread (IT). Go to the website for any magic supply place and you can be doing this trick in no time. For this trick, you will need a glass that looks like it's a regular glass but is instead very light plastic.

  • ZoneIII

    You're perceptive. Good guess work. You're on the right track, but actually, there is only one glass (plastic) and the water is drinkable.

  • @FrankCoffman The only reason I mentioned the fake glass is the weight factor. Having been an amateur magician for 53 years now (since I was 7), I do very similar tricks. There isn't much water in the glass but, even so, your IT must be fairly strong. I generally use a traditional reel or a Spider Pen for this type of stuff.

  • Zonelll,

    Yes, the IT is strong. It's not the usual IT used by magicians. I had to be careful not to break it. The key is to use it horizontally. This is my own illusion, but I'm not a professional magician.

  • GREAT STUFF!

    

  • @mboulet24 damn... good eye.

  • @afalconsview still a beautiful act to watch though

  • I suspect it's an IT string primarily attached to his left hand and then connected to an anchor in the back corner of the room. Additionally he uses his right hand to intercept the string occasionally whether it's between the anchor and the glass or between his left hand and the glass. A couple of give away are how he swings the wooden rod with a slight dip to avoid the string going towards hands or anchor. The cup can also slide along the IT which permits the appearance of it moving away.

  • omfg he uses neon string and runes it through it

  • WOooow cool! i dont even wanna know how its done ^^

  • That's good stuff. Yes, I knew you used it horizontally. I do very similar things only not with the glass of water. That is a cool twist.
