This isn’t really a General Question, but I once saw a magic trick performed, and wonder if any of you know how it is done.
A volunteer went onto the stage, and the magician had a jug of milk and a sheet of paper. He rolled the paper up into a funnel and put it up against the volunteer’s ear. He then poured the milk into the funnel, making us beleive the milk had gone into his ear. When he took the paper away, there was no milk. He then shook the volunteer’s head to make us believe the milk was inside.
He then showed us an empty glass and placed it inside a cylinder and put the lid on the cylinder. (We couldn’t see through it).
He then asked the volunteer to put his left hand on the lid of the cylinder and then moved his other arm up and down as if he was pumping water. He then took the lid of the cylinder and took out the glass which was now full of milk, making us believe that the milk had gone from the jug into the person and then backl out through his hand into the glass. I didn’t know how it worked when I saw it and still don’t.
Does anyone know how it worked?
