How Do You Make A Fork And Spoon Appear To Defy Gravity?
This is a basic trick that enables you to defy the laws of physics – or at least fool others into thinking so. Just take common dinner utensils and make them appear to hover in space on the edge of a glass… • Obtain a large glass that has quite a bit of mass to it. It is especially good if the glass has a wide mouth with a tapered bottom. • Fill the glass at least half full of liquid. Remember that the entire weight of the silverware will be supported on one single point on the outside edge of the glass. • Overlapping first and last tines Take the fork and spoon and “hook” them together using the first and last tines of the fork to overlap the spoon. The handle ends must both point in the same direction, making a very crude boomerang shape when the two are connected together. • Place the matchstick in the most central position possible. Ensure that it is still touching the spoon. Leave as much of the matchstick sticking towards the center of the “boomerang” shape as possible. • Balan
