How to perform the tablecloth trick

The demonstration is dramatic enough to make people tense in anticipation, even if they understand the science and have seen it done a hundred times. The science is simple enough for young students to understand, and with practice, even a first grader can successfully perform the demonstration.
You will need:a piece of cloth or sheet of newspaper, two heavy coffee cups (cheap ones in case you break them),two saucers a smooth table top.If you are using a piece of cloth, be sure that it is smooth and that the edges have not been hemmed or sewn. You don't want anything that could catch on the bottom of the dishes. If you don't have a piece of cloth available, try using a sheet of newspaper. Be sure to have several sheets available, because they tear after one or two tries, and you will probably want to try this several times. This video was made by Robert Krampf!
