This forms an excellent conclusion to a billiard ball trick. A glass tumbler three parts filled with water is given to a gentleman to hold. A ball is then covered with a handkerchief and given to the gentleman with & request that he will hold it over the glass and at the word “three” will allow it to fall into the water.
