This time it is old bar stunt that has been one of my favourites for years. It involves a glass and a cherry tomato (sorry about the film quality – all being done in a bit of a hurry!)…..
As ever, feel free to say if you have worked out a solution and how long it took you, but please don’t post any answers.

Got it. I vaguely remember seeing a similar stunt on The Real Hustle a while back, though I only remembered that after I’d already thought of a solution.

Thought of a solution, but it seems too obvious…

I’ve done something like that before. In the first episode of this season’s Big Bang Theory, Leonard was doing that to impress Penny.

The first thing I thought of was the scene from Big Bang Theory too – I’d heard of it before though. Good trick.

Got it. I think I saw it on the real Hustle too, but even then I’d had an inclin how it was done.
In the Real Hustle they used it to win beer. I doubt that’ll work in real life… though i feel a plan forming!

Took me about a second to work out a solution. Depends on one’s definition of “in the glass”.

The oldies are the goodies.

Avoid the comments for the youtube video if you don’t want to have the answer spoiled for you.

I’ve seen this before. Now watching eight hours of Line Rider videos.

Is it really that easy….hmmmm.

I don’t see why we can’t use the obvious solution, which I figured out immediately. But for it to be a trick there would have to be a second solution which was sort of given away Stephen Moore I think…

I have no idea how you do it. But that was brilliant (no pun intended).
