Apollo Robbins on Motion | Brain Games

and the work that I do there’s a lot of
secret motions tricks but behind the
motions there’s a lot of physics which I
don’t know a lot about but I do know one
that’s kind of cool they used to do it
as a bar stunt I’d like to show that to
you use a couple secret motions you need
a toothpick a glass and some civil wear
now to begin you just need a fork and a
spoon
you take the fork in the spoon you can
push the pieces together so you have one
solid object easy for you to do once you
have that in place you’re going to put
the toothpick between and try to balance
these on the edge of the glass the
motion of the fork and the spoon reach
behind the center of gravity and hold it
in place on the edge of the glass this
does take some practice but here’s kind
of what it looks like
and that’s something you can do at the
restaurant and surprise your waiter we
make a lot of assumptions when we
perceive emotion and that’s factored by
the other senses one of those is audio
sense if I know that those assumptions
are working together I can use those to
deceive you or make you think emotion
has happened that hasn’t for example if
I did a motion of the coin from one hand
to the other it’s interesting and it
plays on one sense which is visual if I
condition you with tapping on a table
you know what that sounds like I combine
that with the same mode it looks like it
goes through the table yet I did the
same motion I did before but I combined
it with the sound effect and now your
senses are giving you multiple feeds
multiple inputs and you want to trust
what your senses are telling you but
sometimes you should
