In Water

What You Need:

– Tall Clear Glass – Water – Picture, Image, etc.

Pour water into a clear, tall glass or jar.

Move an image (picture, drawing, arrows, etc.) behind the glass.

Watch what happens as the image is reversed when seen through the water!

Try raising the image above the waterline in the half-full glass.

Okay so we all know it’s not really magic…
