It took a couple tries, but I was able to eventually do it. It's real.

This is something I would expect to see in the matrix not RL.

Good CGI but fake as hell.

If you're having trouble, try adding a little bit of vinegar to the water.

I'm actually not sure. I'm skeptical but I felt the same way about this. Turned out it was real.

Might have been convincing, but when the water collapsed it looked stupidly fake. That and physics

No. Just no.

Even if that little twist would magically keep the water from spilling (which it wouldn't) it would not keep the EXACT shape of the cup. In fact if it was a vortex it would spin out and collapse just like his "failed" attempts. The edges of water do not magically turn solid.

I really have to facepalm at people who think this is real.

Or freezing it. I couldn't get it out of the cup, though:(

Its too unbelievableto even be remotely believable. Not sure how he did it (I'm guessing its very clear ice) but no, Water will not stand up like a sand castle even if you create a vortex affect.

I don't think it was ice. It definitely looked like it was water spinning.

I'd love to know how he did it.
