My first DTube post! Pistachio through the glass trick.
Hello Steemians and DTubers my name is Ian. This my first DTube post. I will try and post articles and videos related to things I love. I love magic so here is my rendition of the pistachio through the glass trick. I think the (edited) audience reactions are just as entertaining as the trick itself. Enjoy!
This trick was made famous by Taiwanese magician Lu Chen.

Welcome on DT & steemit, dude! Great vid btw! :)
Thank you. @ashavir
How!
I can only think of rigged glasses!
Well, I kinda feel there's some literal prestidigitation going on, as I feel you're hiding a nut in your semi-clenched fist, but that still doesn't explain what appears to be happening.
Learning how to do magic is actually in my plans. But I don't have time for it right now. Don't know if it's the influence James Randi and Penn & Teller had on me during my skeptical teens, or if it's just something analytical people are drawn to almost by instinct once they discover it, but the entertainment and bedazzlement factor is also a big part. Imagining myself doing your trick, while actually using real glasses, just doing it in a pub...it's just jaw-dropping!
Edit: OK I've just watched this and toward the end I realized there's probably a magnet in the pistachio! The close POV makes it rather evident.
Your version is better, but POV matters, and what if the audience decides to check the pistachios?
Hi Alexander I think you nailed it here" just something analytical people are drawn to almost by instinct once they discover it" at least this is the casefor me. Curiosity and wanting to know how something is done is why I also love science so much.
Yes you can do this trick at the pub with real glasses. I let the audience check the pistachios too (sleigh of hand of course). ;)
Thanks for watching. I want to do more science posts but right now I am just doing curation as I need to get a following. I have some very interesting articles that I would like to write but I feel I might just get $0.02 at the moment so will wait until I learn more about the Steemit platform.
You seem serious about it, and you know your stuff, so I'd say it's highly likely you'll make it here!
Great video Ian. Nicely done trick. Steemit and Dtube need more magic like this.
Thanks @merchantofmagic!
That is a great trick! Welcome to steemit!
Thank you @doctorcrypto! I'm looking forward to see how this Steemit works.
