Apply high school physics to amaze your friends and win free drinks.
Effect: Pour a shot of whiskey, and set it next to a shot of water. Challenge your friend to figure out a way to get all the whiskey into the water glass, and vice versa, WITHOUT using a third vessel of any kind (including your mouth!).
Secret: Whiskey is lighter than water (the better the whiskey, the better this works). Place a business card over the glass, turn it upside down and place it on top of the whisky glass. Then, pull the business card out just the tiniest amount, so a small crack opens between the two glasses...and wait. The lighter whiskey will slowly trickle upwards to the top of the water's shot glass, while the water trickles down. It's a really neat looking effect! After 10 minutes, the two drinks will have completely swapped places.

Hi Brian,
Thanks for the great show, I'm new to Scamschool and just used the water/whiskey trick with my kids using water/cooking oil.
My girls had a few friends over aged 6-12 and I asked them to figure out this problem for me. Low and behold, between them they got REALLY close to the answer.
I showed it to them and they all said "I knew it". damn smart kids. haha.
Thanks again

The whiskey/water trick reminds me of one that I haven't seen on Scam School yet. The idea is to put some coke (or anything carbonated) into a shallow saucer, and without touching or moving the saucer you have to get the coke inside a highball glass. You can only use the following items provided: toothpick, olive, lighter. Any guesses?
