This one is slightly related to one of our previous posts titled “InstaSnow - Magic Instant Snow“. Slyyde @ Metacafe has a nice liquid to solid magic trick tutorial. Once again, diapers are the magic medium here. What the hell? Why are diapers all of a sudden so magical?
This one is not quite magic, but it almost looks like it. Below is a cool little video from Art Vandelay @ 5min.com on balancing 17 dominoes on 1 making for a killer illusion for you to do at your next party. Give it a try.
This time its with a ping pong ball. A while back we posted something on creating a pk ring triggered glowing orb from ice. Read the post here if you are unfamiliar. dcmania21 @ instructables has made a how-to on something similar, but he uses a ping pong ball instead. This would eliminate the melting factor thus being slightly more practical and permanent. Link to instructable…
A while back, one of our members wrote in asking for us to post something on counting cards. I personally do not know how to count cards however the4est @ instructables has posted a cool how-to on counting cards. Check out the instructable here…
Saw this one a while back on metacafe and its made its way to the front page again recently. I could only imagine the potential of having some of this stuff for tricks. You can apparently purchase some of this powder at smartoys.co.uk. Apparently its some kind of non-toxic super absorbent polymer. Ive seen something similar to this for tricks however it turns to gel instead of a fluffy substance. Someone posted in the comments of the video that it is the same stuff found in diapers, however I won’t be confirming that as I have no inclination to go buy a pack of diapers at the supermarket. If anyone knows a way to acquire this stuff cheap or an easy way to make it, please post in the comments.
