That device is also used in a somewhat popular magicians trick called "think a drink," except most modern magicians have more chambers than just two in their trick teapots.

There's nothing that can't be made better by Steve Mould with a 2D perspex version.

@TVFILMBUFF Жыл бұрын

Steve obviously didn't get a good enough crowd reaction/opening shot when he got introduced the first time... because they had to splice in some end frames with the liquid already poured lol @ 0:54 . That would confuse the fk out of the assassin's victim for sure.

It would be bad if you forgot which one the poison was in!

Mind you, it raises one question: if you fill one section of the pot with tea and the other with milk, which section do you pour into the cup first?

@footballhipster Жыл бұрын

Tea first, milk second. Anyone who says otherwise is a savage barbarian.

@petejones879 Жыл бұрын

Always the tea first then the milk

It depends the hole where you put the finger.

@Pokesus Жыл бұрын

There is two holes. If you only put your finger in one it only releases one, if you put the finger in the other hole then you drop the second thing. If you put your fingers none you drop both at the same time.

Someone has to explain to me these backgrounds. Why the pictures of people with cricket gear?

Why does the introduction shot of Steve have the glasses already full? How could he have got standing there smiling so wrong they couldn't use it and had to use a later shot?

Well observed yeah. Maybe it was just a bit better. They showed the others at the end during the same moment.

I don't want to be insensitive or anything, but I gotta ask. The lady panelist, what's her deal?

@harsimaja9517 Жыл бұрын

Rosie Jones. She has cerebral palsy, a neurological disorder that kicks in very young and affects motor coordination, including speech. She’s funny and she’s long been a writer for a lot of the panel shows - sometimes can’t quite catch what she’s saying but usually it’s easy enough

@tjnicholas Жыл бұрын

Her name is Rosie Jones if you want to look her up. She’s great.

When he asked the question the whole idea is you want to assassinate someone why don't you just knife them? And the lady says it's because it's done with good manners. I think it has more to do with not being a suspect in the murder and then having no repercussions. From either friends family or the law. This way you can kill many people not only one victim.

Until they find the pot and remember who poured the tea. The evidence is still all there.

have you tried it? use some bitter, finely ground malty black tea and then cut it with milk, it's nice. don't do it with any floral or citrussy black teas though

I just can’t believe that so many people in a country as tea-obsessed as England thinks that their de facto national beverage is somehow improved by the addition of milk.
