Because magic is all around us, you just have to know where to look (PROTIP: look behind doors marked ‘FOR WITCHES AND WIZARDS ONLY’), this is a video of The Action Lab’s James Orgill demonstrating two chemical reaction tricks: one which creates very realistic looking fake blood, and another that

Because trying hard and believing yourself is the name of the game, this is a video of New Zealand based Youtuber Liam Thompson attempting to create the world’s largest dry ice bubble. What’s a dry ice bubble? Basically a bubble that fills itself up with the carbon dioxide gas that’s

In I’m pretty sure I remember a Mythbusters episode about this news, this is a video of The Action Lab half-heartedly experimenting to see if a swimmer (read: wind-up turtle toy) can swim just as fast in syrup as in water. The idea is that although syrup is more viscous,

In sweet jeans news, this is a video of Yotuber Mad Russian Scientist demonstrating the fastest way to empty a narrow-necked liquid filled container without cutting in half with a ninja sword or smashing it with a hammer — by swirling the bottle first to create a vortex inside. This

This is a video of Youtuber The Q building a chair based on tensegrity (aka floating structural compression, links to Wikipedia) that’s large and strong enough to support the weight of a relatively lightweight adult human and a Coca-Cola can. Now I read the Wikipedia article I linked to above

This is a short video demonstrating Newton’s first law with dirt on a tennis racket. What is Newton’s first law? “Newton’s first law is you don’t talk about Newton’s first law.” Very good, I’m glad to see at least somebody payed attention in science class. Visualization of Newton's first law

This is a video of a Boeing 747 departing from Anchorage, Alaska and producing some insane condensation in the process. It almost looks like a smoke screen. Of course anybody worth their weight in idiotic conspiracy theories and believing everything they read online knows good and well this isn’t actually

This is a short video of chemistry educator Phil Cook demonstrating both the hydrophobic and combustible properties of lycopodium spores. Lycopodium spores are the dried spores of clubmoss plants (aka ground pine), and have long been used for theatrical special effects (in the form of dust explosions) due to their
