Jason Mayoff, Zachary Burgeson and Eric Cole liked this video so much that all of them un-connectedly submitted it for me to publish on Mighty Optical Illusions homepage. I am really puzzled with this one. I browsed the web for explanation, and almost everywhere people said that the fluid this guy is purring is just an ordinary water. I wouldn’t bet my allowance on it.
Allrighty then, I’ll let you smart-asses figure this one for yourselves, since I really don’t have a clue. Can we solve it together? In the past, I believe we managed to solve every single puzzle on this website. I hope that the tradition won’t be stopped today. This is more of a magic trick than optical illusion, but when we solve it, maybe I’ll change my statement. For more illusionary videos, be sure to jump to our videos section. Now employ your gray brain cells, and start thinking!

Gogzilla has it, you can barely see the smaller ones but it’s easy on the largest cup. When you pours into it, right before it is full he pours into the center and you can see it splash off. And lastly when he is pouring back into the smallest cup you can see fluid pouring out of a cylinder in the middle of the cup and right before he takes the cup off camera you can see the top of the cylinder.
Damn!
amazing
cheap shot! there’s water in the glasses. when you look at the next to largest, you can see the top of the water! this is no illusion, it’s a dirty trick made to look like an illusion. also, the color keeps getting diluted. if it was the same amount of water the spillage would cause the level to go down. notice how carefully he pours. this is to prevent a splash. cheap!
I noticed he fills the glasses upward flat and tips them going down. Must be false glass insides or yes water already inside to increase volume when pouring down the line.
Yeah this is a gay trick! who ever made this should punch themselves in the face. lol the whot liquid is realy white at start but faded at the end
there is water in the glasses… if you haven’t noticed already the milk gets less cloudy at the end.
There is water in the cups (color of the white fluid becomes less opaque), the only reason the white fluid hits the bottom is because it is a thicker fluid, therefore giving the illusion that the amount of water increases.
It’s a neat and clever magic trick.
I did notice the fluid in the bottom of the next to largest one and thought it was water however, notice after he pours the first cup he has to shake the foam on out of the glass. Could be that he’s mixed up a small amount of vinegar/baking soda or something and instead of water in each glass he has a bit more vinegar? Has to have something in there to foam up a bit.
Dude thats soooooooooo fake there is water in each glass after the first so it looks like its getting bigger.Just look at how the milk turns into light milkey water plus he just wasted about a pint and a half of milk.Dude you wasted about 3 minutes on a rip off.
You can tell that there is water in the cups. The color and consistency changes with every cup. It’s very noticeable with the last cup. It’s still very neat.
Simple solution.
Ther is a closed cylinder in the centre of the glass so the liquid only has to fill up the space around it. The reason it looks more watery each time is that it is a thinner layer of liquid. Obviously you haven’t got daughters or you would have seen something similar in the feeding bottles for dolls.
IMO there’s a fake glass in every glass, as Andrew said. I can quite see the cylinder inside the larger one. This explains all the trick but the latest scene. Probably there are actually TWO cylinders inside (one larger, one smaller) or the central cylinder of the larger glass is full of water.
Also consider that if there were simply water in the glasses you should see the liquid mixing when the milk is poured into…
This isn’t a waste of time; at least, not to me. I get the fact that it’s a cheap trick, but I had fun imagining who DID fall for it:D
I’m not going to post a solution because too many people have done it already.
Lol why does everyone think it’s so stupid just because they’ve figured it out.
Hense the word ‘illusion’ GENIUSES
Or won’t you be happy untill you see real magic?
Hhahaha.
Knew there was something into the quasi-opacity of the glasses. It really is easy to spot the cylinders once you look for them.
they are 1/2 glasses …. turn the glasses and you’ll understand the trick.
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED HIS ZIPPER WAS DOWN?!
;)
ya you can totally see the water line in the 3rd glass he fills and watch how careful he is at not moving the glasses!!!! You can also see the water move in the last glass.
I think each glass has water, complementing the glass below, just without the white stuff. If you look closely the white stuff gets thinner each time he changes glasses…
If you look at this video three-four times it is clearly some white liquid mixed with water.If you STILL don’t see it,pause the beginning for 10 sec,look carefully,then switch the end and you will see that the liquid isn’t that much white any more,but more transparent!
There are pre-filled cylinders in the center. If you look “through” the glasses while empty, you can see a difference in the way the light is diffracted(is that the right word?) in the center that isn’t consistent with the patterns on the glass on the rest of it.
You can also see when he’s pouring a few time the top of the cylinder, again probably due to the light going through.
u can clearly see another glass filled with water inside of the big one at 1:07 :/
ok so im just throwing this out there i am probably wrong but if there was a cylinder in the cup wouldn’t it float? i think there was water in the cup cuz the in the end the milk or what ever it was, was a lot less white and there was a change in light in the glass cuz the water!
My science teacher had a chemical that could store liquids and comes out when salt is exposed to it. so the liquid or water might have been filled with salt to produce the outcome of additional water in a cup thus creating more water than it seems
At 0:37, you can clearly see the water already in the glass.
It would work a lot better if he used segmented glass so the color of the “milk” don’t change.
Perhaps it’s already segmented since when he pours the water back into the smaller glasses.
anyone’s considered maybe he’s ACTUALLY magic?
just hope you dont tick him off by being skepticle of his magic and make him sick zombies on you with his dread necromancy powers of dreadyness!
maybe it’s a fluid that froths as it’s poured, making it able to fill larger glasses???
the glasses definitely have water in them, watch closely when he adds milk to the middle glass, it doesn’t flow evenly when the milk is first introduces, instead it forms very briefly a ball of milk before it spreads out
