[@bernardodc9631]

"Don't worry, im gonna show you the secret... Secret??" THE END 😒

[@josephmakowski9368]

Left hand. Middle finger.

[@Rock_Go_Yeet]

There mesh covering the top and he is covering a pressure hole with his finger

[@ubongjohnny6744]

😅

[@Priya27138]

Showed you, He did not say that he would tell by speaking.

[@imaginaryuniverse632]

I will give the secret here in this place but each must take a vow to keep it before reading. The holes in the lid are small enough to allow cohesion to hold the water in place once a vacuum was created by a minimal amount of seepage. The vacuum was released when he moved his finger from the hole in the jar. If you have kept the secret this long I release you from your vow by the power vested in me under pretense. 👍

[@Kibaoftheleaves]

Hole in the bottom where you put your finger to maintain air pressure to keep it from falling out, let go to let air in the bottom and let the water come out.

[@ssj4stone269]

How do you make a hole in glass at home?

[@ChristofferOrrmalmUtsi]

​@@ssj4stone269 Drill bit??? Just push enough so the drill does It's work, otherwise you could crack the glass, which potentially could shatter the glass.

[@jessiep2471]

Yes, thank you. After reading this comment and rewatched the clip. There is absolute a hole in that jar. Still a cool trick though

[@Jerbo1125]

Drilling glass is difficult without breaking it

[@jimmichel3855]

Yes, the hole is under his middle finger

[@progenlol]

Love the part where he tells us the secret

[@marcoperosinmodorestringid9929]

Look at his middle finger before the water falls out

[@modestgrower2017]

That was my least favorite part

[@Duolingo9676]

He told us, it was a loop. The secret is science magic

[@oogaboogaman2789]

He said secret at your end

[@victorbronkhorst6976]

it was actually the only part I liked

[@shkfurkan1541]

Kept his word, "Secret"

[@cpeyton78910]

Its a mesh on the top, let's stuff go in and out, but with surface tension can keep itself together too

[@hartzellaerialproductions527]

And there’s a hole in the bottom edge that he has plugged. Watch him lift his middle finger then the water falls. You can see the hole too

[@snegsbegs]

Yea there's no mesh

[@canofsoda]

​@snegsbegs there is so 😡. and a hole

[@pear-head]

​@snegsbegs yes there is. You can see it when he says "like this".

[@pheargoth]

Mesh, where the surface tension holds the water in the jar. Then you remove your finger from the hole where your third finger is located, allowing the water to flow out.

[@shivagangamaheshpatel330]

You mean middle finger

[@PiXie232]

There’s no hole

[@pheargoth]

@@PiXie232 There is. You can clearly see him move his finger from it to allow the water to drain.

[@sirbilliam3455]

​@@PiXie232yeah there is, watch the middle finger move as soon as the water pours out. He was plugging a hole to not allow any air into the jar, once the finger was moved, air had gotten into the jar, pushing the water through a mesh.

[@pakde8002]

atmospheric pressure has left the chat

[@GlitchEmpireBrett]

I seen this before I’m not going to ruin the secret 😂

[@charliehoward3521]

There’s a hole in the glass which is covered by his finger. When he removes his finger from the hole, the water falls

[@pradeeptachattopadhyay570]

Biggest scam: "I'm gonna show you the secret"

[@jjwalter5897]

The vacuum trick. This is useful when you…, or maybe when…, OH! Use this to…. Nope, can't think of a thing.

[@Da1whoasked]

When you want to impress your very existent friends

[@docarii]

Useful if you need to siphon Gasoline to your power generator.

[@neepsmcfly4176]

Continue convincing the kids of illusory belief that you are omniscient.

[@ackinito]

29 seconds he lifts the middle finger and the hole allows air to enter the jar and thus the air pressure is equalized at the top and thr jottom of the jar. Gravity does the rest to pull the water down.

[@user-iq1ue5pw4o]

Not trying to be rude but the video isn’t even 29 seconds long so there is no way he lifted his finger at that time he did lift his finger but not at 29 seconds sry if that was rude I was js saying

[@sujoynakra864]

This is due to the surface tension he had put strainer in the mouth of the jar

[@khumujamjonju9177]

I am still waiting for the revelation of the secret.

[@KoushikShetty]

Secret in the bird finger😂

[@nanccyy6350]

Surface tension and atmospheric pressure in the jar

[@CAIDMASTEROFPYRO]

Secret there is a hole in the bottom as well, he places his finger over the hole when he wants the water to come out he lifts his finger

[@user-nx5vh6ir2f]

He should do a collaboration with vsause

[@robboss1839]

Good ol surface tension. Mesh top with a vent hole in the bottom

[@Kittycat-mr4im]

😊

[@druntopronto7598]

The hole under your 3rd finger makes the magic.

[@jasperbennett8233]

Anyone ends notice that he didn't show us the secret? Lol

[@sculter8]

Secret is in the middle (longest) finger which is covering the tiny hole on the bottom edge of the jar.

[@GodlikeIridium]

Mesh in the top holding the water in through surface tension and a small hole in the bottom, where you put your finger to first maintain a little negative pressure keeping the water in, the remove the finger to let the atmosphere push the water out through the mesh.

[@gettothepointbyjamescordwe5687]

If you didn’t lift your finger but just slide it to the side, you could have fooled more people...😂

[@gerritgelder9990]

You can use the water to bleach your teeth afterwards. That’s what he did anyways

[@bmilano1580]

The hole was even pointed at us😅

[@arowberry]

Well done sir!

[@matthewb9955]

I saw the hole on the bottom but it’s still impressive getting that water to hold its surface tension with that giant opening after removing the card.

[@jackieking1522]

There is no giant opening. There is a fine plastic or wire mesh held in place by the screw top.... why do you think he poured the water so fast?

[@danieldimitri6133]

A screen is visible in the begining. The screw part of the mason jar cap holds it in place. Then there must be a small hole around his middle finger

[@victoriamunoz1069]

It's called a secret bc its a secret 😂😂

[@StefBelgium]

There is a hole at the bottom of the jar that he is covering up with his middle finger until he wants to let the water go. Then he lifts his middle finger up to let the water go.

[@midclock]

He shows the secret, but you need to find it

[@pingpong9656]

Move you finger off the drilled hole to let air in at the top.

[@vdub7090]

Nah

[@nonsuspiciouscolour]

yeah u can clearly see the hole@@vdub7090

[@richardpowles-brown2775]

yes -second finger...

[@art.alagna.design]

😮

[@wrz0512]

just look at his middle finger.. when he lift up his finger the hole can be seen there

[@Mr.NoNaMe1212]

He has plastic wrap or something like screen door mess covering the top. That's why he used the lid to hold it on. He tech did show it if u look close enough. Lol. Then when u tilt the container slightly it will run out through it but otherwise will lock in place like holding ur finger over a straw.

[@link8689]

bottom of water jar, he put water in a button at bottom

[@bewiseopeneyes8720]

I showed this to my babysitter but with a cup and paper plate. It worked the first time but I wanted to show her again with the same plate. It was already wet and the water spilled all over her lol

[@pakde8002]

Snap finger on free hand so no one noticed lifting finger from small hole in the bottom of the jar releasing pressure.

[@gereshare6659]

Secret??😂 opens breather hole.

[@donnymcgahan1158]

Im still wondering how the water turned from red to clear in an instant

[@daggerclick-ps4cc]

he removed the cover of the tiny hole from hand

[@KXSocialChannel]

There’s a thin film stuck to the bottom now which was stuck on the card.

[@heretoserve5023]

There is an airhole he releases with his left finger

[@user-kj3fz1wy8r]

It's obvious your magic has some holes in it.😂

[@Mr_C.Bacteria]

I loved the part where you shared the magic secret

[@atrix356]

ahh dafinger released the pressure 😂

[@sentient-555]

Notice the air hole he keeps covered with his finger on the bottom of the jar until the end?

[@user-ev9eo9cl8b]

He drilled a hold on the side hold it with his index finger. Once he removed his finger, the water released.

[@Lunarcreeper]

the secret is a very fine mesh, the water tension holds it together, and by adding a little bit of force, the water comes through the mesh.

[@shemlhuid]

There's a hole on the jar. Left hand middle finger.

[@olivergeikie9223]

I can do this trick with a straw too😂

[@kalithechamp1412]

In case you’re still confused I did some extensive research, this is what I found. There’s a hole around base of the cup. At the moment of the snap, he removes his finger at the same time. This results in a massive relief in air pressure, causing the water to gush out uncontrollably.

[@peterblake4837]

I think I saw your finger operating a little valve.

[@carlosenriquepineiro375]

I love how far he moves the finger so we can notice and comment. ..i think

[@patriciatardugno9983]

You moved your finger on the bottom of the jar, & immediately the water poured out. Voula'.

[@user-qv2dd8ex8k]

I'm not entirely sure that the middle finger had anything to do with the water coming out.

[@musicjunk8266]

water pressue

[@Arelium]

It makes just enough pressure to hold itself in when the card is removed. When shaked it breaks the pressure releasing the water and you shaked it.

[@ColdperpetratorLv]

His finger is holding the carb

[@igikpak1]

You can see the hole drilled through the jar when he lifts his middle finger near the end, thus canceling the vacuum

[@saveamerica4661]

Guessing its a indirect secret. Making it somewhat obvious there is a hole in the bottom of jar at the end

[@Deano_42]

HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF JAR, YOU REMOVE YOUR FINGER AND WATER FALLS OUT.

[@somphothbsiratsamy3748]

There’s a whole under the plastic jar

[@SL33P-WALK3R]

Look at Middle Finger when water falls..🧐

[@keanumoreno868]

There is a hole like with a straw....dun dun duhh😂

[@Mmmekke]

Amazing ✨

[@dan271291]

What a GRATE trick

[@shintongmanalu6219]

Me : just still focus to your finger 😂😂😂

[@SD_TJ]

You werent covering the small hole in the bottom of the bottle

[@1971PWF]

Surface tension

[@stevetarrant3898]

I tried this and burnt my house down. Was never good at magic.

[@alexfreeland292]

There’s a hole in the jar. He plugs it with his finger, and lets it go when the water drops

[@gdkit6159]

Probably there is a hole where is the middle Finder over that jar, when he snaps the fingers he lifts up the Finder, wich allows for Airflow and makes the water to flow

[@WeevilLover9000]

His secret is that hes using hamon

[@saadbutt8080]

I see the hole when he lifts up his middle finger from tha jar 😂

[@lefteriseleftheriades7381]

The lid of the jar has a wiremesh which helps water go thhrough if it has some velocity but also generates enough surface tension along with atmospheric pressure to counter gravity

[@davidhess6593]

Secret: He moved his finger.

[@Brothers_outdoors]

Hole in bottom to put finger on to maintain air pressure, and if u watch closely at the start, there's a thin piece of plastic with a slit in it.

[@Grumppool]

That middle never moved, it was covering the whole til you wanted the water to drop, then you removed the finger.

[@Christiandurazzo20]

Secret there is a circular piece of clear plastic behind the yellow piece

[@Kittycat-mr4im]

Theres a net at the top and a hole at the bottom where he puts his finger to plug

[@jarrylng9514]

secret is the hole at the bottom of the jar where he press onto it. and when he lets go the water flows down

[@esquire9445]

Demons….the only explaination…demons

[@ikemoon127]

The secret was "secret?".

[@martinmaldonado3629]

You could see the hole on his metal finger.

[@shalukumari7125]

There is a filter paper on the opening of the Jar😂😂😂Easy pese

[@navneetanilkumar7155]

I study this so easy

[@user-nd7in6us2g]

Where he puts his middle finger there's a hole in the glass

[@darioalvarez9530]

El secreto es que estabas tapando un agujerito con el dedo para que el agua no caiga.. Y cuando chasqueas los dedos lo destapas

[@Lo-Ke]

There’s mesh on the lid and a hole in the bottom

[@donkeykongsdad1312]

Middle finger is covering a small hole.

[@raj171994]

He used his middle finger... To show middle finger

[@ellisUAAAN]

you can even see the hole on the side

[@mattmatthews5414]

Left hand’s middle finger.

[@gGamer89898]

I think i know the secret: the jar has a hole where they put the finger. if you notice they remove the finger

[@Mars-zgblbl]

There’s a hole in the jar under his left middle finger

[@darrellroeters4951]

I don’t believe a used car salesman

[@chins2009]

why did you move the middle finger? I suppose that's where the hole is for the air to get in so the water can rush out of the jar.

[@bassaddiction1986]

That hole in the jar under your middle finger makes this trick possible

[@LinLetYar]

1 man 1 jar

[@user-ht5px5uu1w]

Just playing with vacuum

[@black999hathacker]
