Post-pizza entertainment

Please note: We (those of us present at the premiere showing of these tricks) found the following to be highly entertaining.  The tricks defy laws of nature (or at least try to), make messes and are potentially dangerous.  Plus we were tired.  :-)  We hope you will enjoy the few segments of the evening that we managed to capture with photos and videos.

The following sequence of photos are of Lacie's first trick of the evening.  I think maybe she was trying to cut through the water in the glass with the piece of paper.

It worked???

Uncle Elliott demonstrates that the trick is harder to perform when the Coke can is crumpled.

Please note: This trick was accomplished perfectly on the first go-around.  I, however, missed making a video of it, and the several attempts at a re-do were not quite as flawless.  That's how it usually happens, isn't it?!  It is, in any case, an impressive feat, I believe you will have to agree.

This was definitely a favorite of the evening!

Apparently the water was supposed to stay in the cup???

Maybe it will work better with cardboard??

Guess not!

Can you figure out how this one works?

And for the final trick of the evening...

Lacie decides we'd better do this one on the porch...just in case.

And that's all for this time, folks!  Hope you enjoyed the show!
