This cool tap appears to magically float in the sky, with an endless supply of water. If you think for a second, you will easily come to a conclusion how this modern installment can be possible. If you know where this Magic Tap can be found, be sure to comment!

i think the water is the holder to make the tap appear to be flying?
i have seen a tap like this at amazin’ things at phillip island, victoria, australia
25 years ago, 4 foot versions of this could be seen in virtually ANY Home & Garden Expo!
i know how its done they have one almost just like it out side of the Ripley’s Believe It or Not museum in St. Augustin FL the faucet is on top of a clear pipe that sucks the water up and then it spills out back down appearing to come from the faucet and hiding the pipe
I’ve seen them in a number of places including a Ripley’s Believe it or not museum and outside a Redwood City, California movie theater.
all the people saying it is a pipe are wrong i dont know how it works but i have seen one in real life and you can put your hand through the water so yeah…
Okay, first off, imagine there is a clear, plastic tube, it’s attached to a golden faucet, the plastic tube is attached to the pond below so it can pump water and never run out. Simple.
mmm i’ve seen it in a ripley’s museum,touched it and was amazed and my friend suggests that there is a pipe that pumps upwards inside the stream of water
Cadiz, Spain.

In China they have a structure like that. They turn off the water sometimes allowing you to see what is going on. There is a clear pipe that is sort of the “water” stream. The pipe holds up the tap. The pipe sucks up water then at the top the water washs over the pipe so you can not see it. Cool really.
The “Never ending beer” tap was the first of these illusions I ever saw (in a magic and gag shop)
One of these actually exist in a Swedish amusement park call “Skara Sommarland”
(but on this one you can clearly see the pipe)
