The Effect From the mind of William J. Schmeelk comes this gravity-defying miracle. A brass weight is dropped through an aluminum tube. It rockets through, falling into the spectator's hand. So far, so good.
But, at the magician's command, the weight drops through the tube in slow motion - like an astronaut bounding across the moon! The weight can be clearly seen floating through the tube!
Furthermore, the brass weight can be seen floating through the tube - even while the trick is in the package, making this a virtually self-performing miracle!
Newton's Nightmare is a delight to perform, and easy enough for any aspiring sorcerer - or scientist - to master.

This is a lot of fun and very little slight of hand is required to perform it well. It works by itself and is fun to mess around with or to freak people out. You will have fun with and the price is nice so add to cart.

Newton's Nightmare is a really good trick to perform, and it's really fun too. Whether you are taking science, teaching science, or none of the above, this is an amazing trick and a good gag too. While making the "bet" be confident. They will be unable to catch it (at least most of the time) but you will always. Don't anticipate catching it though. I like to wait for the drop, then I cover my mouth and yawn, and then bring my hand down to catch it. If you are looking for a different type of trick that is fun to perform and guaranteed to get some good reactions, then pick this one up.
I use this as an attention getter for teaching science. Beginners will pick this up quickly. Good quality for the price. Certainly worth it as an opener.

This a really neat trick, especially for children's shows and stage performances. It is simple, requires a bit of slight or hand, but it is great for having an assistant and interact with an audience. They will be amazed! With a little practice this will become one of your favorites. It really is Newton's Nightmare! ;)
