The Mysterious Self-filling Lota

This effect is usually credited to the Hindus but it is performed by the Chinese also.

A lota, or bowl, is filled with water. Water is then poured out into a bucket or jar and lota shown empty.

Performer states that he will cause water to flow from his eyes or his ears. He places his eyes down on top edge of lota for a moment and then pours more water out of lota. Next he places the lota to his ear and again water is poured out of lota. He may cause water to flow into the lota from his elbows also. Each time lota is apparently emptied.
