h म्हणाले...: I've had the experience of sitting at a bar table where a magician performs magic, and that experience is amazing (OK, maybe I'd had a drink).

But I've also had the experience (and this seems more like this kind of experience) where people use modern technology (take a photo of an elephant, turn off the camera, lead the elephant off-stage, take a second photo without the elephant, then claim that you have made the elephant "disappear.") to suggest a magical outcome.; १९/१०/१९, ६:४९ PM
gilbar म्हणाले...: that was cool, you couldn't even see where the video pauses, and he replaces the glass

Big Mike म्हणाले...: All of us engineers together in a chorus: the cup was mid-designed and is too large for its intended use.; १९/१०/१९, ८:०३ PM
MAJMike म्हणाले...: The glass is neither half full nor half empty. It is merely the wrong size for the situation.; १९/१०/१९, ८:२६ PM
Ken B म्हणाले...: Impressive. I assume it’s a CGI effect of some sort, but I had to watch it a few times to be sure. It’s very well done.; १९/१०/१९, ८:२७ PM
Birches म्हणाले...: I've watched this at least ten times. It's fantastic.; १९/१०/१९, ८:४८ PM

Big Mike म्हणाले...: (The intercut is nicely done. I think I see a slight shift of the index finger of his left hand when he changes over.); १९/१०/१९, ९:५५ PM

Hah. Reminds me of when I was a kid and my parents asked me and my brother that glass half full/half empty question.

My answer was: The glass was the wrong size either way. Seriously. Just use the right sized glass.

Was told to nevermind, go play with your chemistry sets.

Amazing video. You can't see where it changes.; २०/१०/१९, ८:५२ AM
