A MAGIC FUN TRICK - If not obvious then the 'SECRET' is shown below!
A COOL SUMMERTIME TRICK - You pour some water into a cup. You utter some secret words and when you turn over the cup, all that comes out is a chunk of ice.
This one is super easy with a little secret setup.
Secret: The cup contains a sponge that absorbs the water and prevents the water from spilling out when the cup is turned over. The ice is already on top of the sponge and simply falls out.
Materials: You’ll need an opaque cup, a deep mug works great, a sponge and a chunk of ice. You’ll also need a container, such as a glass or pitcher, to hold and pour water into the mug. The glass really should contain a pre-set amount of water... like an ounce or two. It will look like more if you use a small, but tall glass.
Preparation: Beforehand, stuff the sponge into the mug. Make sure that it rests on the bottom of the cup. Place the ice on top of the sponge and you’re ready to go.
Performing the Trick: TIP: Before you attempt to perform the trick, pour some water into the mug. You’ll have to experiment with the amount of water, which will depend on your sponge. The more water that you pour in, the more impressive the trick. But, pour in too much, and water will fall out of the cup with the ice. The sponge should be of a thickness to position the ice (Cube) about 1" down from the top edge of the cup.
Utter some magic words, or talk about how your conversation skills sometimes casts a chill over a date.
Turn over the cup and the ice will fall out. You’ll want to take the mug away as soon as possible. If you’re so inclined, you can have a duplicate mug in a bag. When the ice falls out, immediately put your mug into the bag. Later on, you can bring out the duplicate mug, which may be examined.
