EFFECT:
In this trick you appear to make a glass go through a table. That's
probably why this trick isn't called the disappearing elephant
or glass through head. |
| SUPPLIES:
You're going to need a few things for this one, and you can probably
find these all in a bar. For those of you who haven't figured
it out yet, your going to need a glass and a table or bar top.
Besides that, you'll need a few napkins, a coin, a place to sit
your butt and a spectator. (It can be done standing
but it's a little harder that way) |
1. Sit down at the table with your spectator
in front of you. (at the other end of the table facing you!
not directly between you and the table.) Tell your spectator
that you can make a solid object travel through the table.
|
 |
2. Place
the glass face down over the coin and tell the spectator that
now you can't touch the coin. Cover the glass with the napkins
and squeeze the napkin around the glass so that it takes the form
of the glass. Twisting (the napkin) helps to accomplish this.
Tell your spectator that now you can't see the coin. |
3. Lift the glass and the napkin together to
show your spectator that the coin is still there and then cover
the coin again.
|
4. Now tell your spectator that the you will
now make a solid pass through a solid.
|
5. Say that you've done it and, using one hand,
lift the coin and the napkin again and act as if you're a little
annoyed that the coin is still there.
|
6. Repeat steps 3 - 5 except this time act
like your really pissed off at the coin.
|
7. Pick up the coin with your free hand and
give it a piece of your mind. As you pick up the coin,
move the hand that's holding the glass towards you until you
clear the edge of the table. Keep everyone's attention
on the coin by calling it names, threatening it's life, spitting
at it etc.. While they watch you and the coin, you will
drop the glass into your lap without letting go of the glass
shaped napkin.
|
 |
8. Put
the coin down and cover it with the glass shaped napkin. Act as
if you're concentrating extremely hard on the coin, then give
up, act even more pissed than before and SLAM the
napkin really hard. The load noise will scare the snot out of
everyone and then they'll realize the glass is gone. |
9. Exclaim that you've done it. You've made
a solid pass through a solid. Then reach under the table and
grab the glass that's on your lap.
