This trick made me laugh out loud.
First of all, I knew this illusion over 2 decades ago and
had totally forgotten about it. Secondly, it plays so well and the reaction that you're going to get
is nothing short of excellent. People are simply, flabbergasted!
Yes, it takes a weee bit of
setup, but it is very easy to do. You'll laugh too when you see the gimmick. And, the "ice" is
perfect.
Since I do lots of science stuff, my friends thought that I had added a polymer of
some sort to the water to create the illusion. Nope, not correct because you can actually drink the
water afterwards (I'm not drinking polymer saturated water even if it is "non toxic". I'd advise you
not to either). Regardless, the iced water is perfectly fine to drink. Again, the gimmick is in
everyone's home right now. You have to have this...it's just too much fun for all ages.
