Glass Illusion

Now, I'm pissed off! That's a minute and 22 seconds I've completely wasted!
Jeez! Anyone should be able to see that the liquid is getting thinner, lighter colored as it's poured from glass to glass. There's water in all but the first glass.
Stupid waste of time.

What the last guy said. Some interesting and silly theories though..but no tricks. You can see the water in the adjoining glassed if you look.

There is ice in each glass and the milk is hot. You cant see the ice in the glass because its cloudy... as he pours the milk it melts the ice therefore creating higher volume of liquid, as it goes to each glass more and more liquid.

» Umm...ice has volume. If you add the liquid to a cup with ice, the volume of the ice will be added to the total volume.

» lol. just because u have ice in a glass dosnt mean it will expand causing more volume lol. that was funny though

its a double walls glass. it get thinner and thinner as you get larger. thats why the milky liquid is less opaque.

» actually there is already liquid in the glass, you can see it the next to last glass, milk is heavier than water so it goes straight to the bottom, like a layered drink in reverse, ask a bartender.

Chemical reaction, a powder that expands when mixed one part liquid one part ?? already in the "dry" glasses. How else could it fill all the glasses in the final manuver?

» Simple, the volume of the largest container is equal to that of the smaller containers combined.

There is a clear open-top cylinder in all but the first container. These cylinders are filled with water. As you add the contents of a smaller glass to a larger glass, you are only adding to the volume already in the larger container. This is why the "milk" becomes more opaque as you dilute it with the water.

its not water...look at the center of each glass. there is a clear post in each equal in volume to the previous glass - simple.

You can see the milk get not as white as he goes down the line, proving the water theory

Very simple. There is gradually more and more water in the bottom of the larger glasses
