Video Transcript

"This is called the "how to get something round" trick. So, this next trick, is another one that kind of messes with your mind. In this clip, we're going to show you that, if you're sitting at the bar for awhile, and you've had a couple drinks, you're going to have to do a lot of extra thinking, to make something round. All you need are five bar straws. So, you're sitting at the bar, you can grab these from the bartender, you can save them from your drinks, and you're just going to reserve them to set them up straight across the bar, just next to each other. Just parallel, nothing tricky. And, then you want to ask someone, sitting around you, ask the bartender, if he or she hasn't heard this trick before. How can I make something round out of these five straight straws? Peoples are going to mess with this, like they've messed with the tricks in the last times, in the last clips, just thinking and thinking, and trying and trying, and maybe they'll make it look like an octagon, a hexagon, any of those shapes, but, that's not the trick. And you're going to make a few small adjustments, and just show them exactly how you can make something round out of these five straight straws. So, come back and I'm going to show you this simple trick that will win you some laughs, and win you some money."
