In this very “easy to do” miracle, the magician fills a glass with water, covers the mouth with a piece of blotting paper, and turns it over. The water stays in the glass!
This is Science.
He then removes the paper, and the water remains in the glass still–
This is Magic!
On command, the water releases itself and falls into a pitcher or tub. This classic trick is amazing and fun to do, but it has been hard to find the right prop. The glass tumblers were too easy to break, and made too much noise when the gimmick is being placed.
Finding a plastic tumbler that looked like real glass on stage, that was unbreakable, and scratch resistant wasn’t easy. It also needed to be able to take the necessary preparation without cracking.
This tumbler is perfect!
It even has a design on the bottom that is very deceptive, and perfectly hides the secret.
Pop Haydn’s Hydrostatic Glass is made of polycarbonate, which is much stronger, harder and more scratch resistant than acrylic.
Our new “improved” version is a restaurant-quality 20 oz tumbler that will give years of service.
It comes with four pages of photos and detailed instructions, the gimmick, and the tumbler.
