okay is this trick real or fake?

[azurnoir]

I'd like to believe but.........?????

[phantom power]

1. fake

[Bucky]

2. Win!

Excellent. The more suckers he gets to soakify their kitchen counters, the better.

[azurnoir]

3. Lol I thought about sending it in to MythBusters

to see what came of it, when I first viewed the vid my 15 yr old was watching it too, with glowing eyes I just said DON'T do it

[HopeHoops]

13. DO NOT try this at home!!!

[petronius]

4. It absolutely 100% is a real trick

The bigger the cup, and the more times you try, the better it works...

[rug]

5. What's the secret?

I don't have distilled water and now everything is soaked.

[petronius]

6. The 'secret' is the same as the secret to making money in a pyramid scheme:

get someone else to do it...

15. If it doesn't work with water, try some of your high-end white wines and champagnes

I'm convinced I just misspelled "champagnes"

7. The "signature" at the end of the video is "Dan DeEntrement".

.

.
"Dand" is French for "giving".
.
"Entrement" is French for "entice — (vb) to attract or draw towards oneself
by exciting hope or desire; tempt; allure".

8. I think there was some heavy editing and splicing performed.

and, I think ice was involved

[Major Nikon]

9. It works better if the water is cold

[Tuesday Afternoon]

11. yeah, like - Ice Cold - Man

10. Something one can do with water. Make a bullet proof shield with water and toilet paper.

[nolabear]

12. LOL! I bet he lies awake nights, giggling.

"Distilled water..."

[HopeHoops]

14. Well, if it is possible, distilled would work best - least contaminants.

Not sure about the possibility, but I'm not going to dismiss it outright. I've seen some pretty strange shit.

[nolabear]

16. So true. And I understand that putting some permanent dye in helps a lot.

[HopeHoops]

17. Yeah, counters LOVE that.

[Brother Buzz]

18. I suspect that cup spent a little time in the freezer

You know what I mean, Vern?

[azurnoir]

19. ya I know but

initially I was thinking of a fountain in downtown Minneapolis that shooting perfectly cylindrical pieces of water about 5 feet and they do not lose shape I'm told that is laminar flow but I don't know if that fits exactly in that case

[Brother Buzz]

20. I learned physics from a Physiology professor that traversed the south pole with Sir Edmund Hillary

I wouldn't know what a Laminar flow is if it bit me in the butt, but I learned a bit about COLD. I learned to fear cold. I love the heat. I love it when it's a hundred and sixteen degrees on the thermometer, and every degree is a foot long. And that's in the shade. And there isn't any shade.
