If you ever wanted to be a wizard, or just to try your hand at some magic tricks, you should learn the dark arts of… static electricity. Yep, with a bit of strategic contact with certain objects, you can easily fool kids and probably even trick your drunk friend into thinking you can control objects through invisible forces.
Brusspup showcases nine different tricks you can pull off with static electricity. Most simply just need the magic power that is a PVC pipe after it’s been rubbed with a towel (to mess around with positively charged and negatively charged materials).
Here are the things you can easily do:
Levitate light objects
Make an electroscope
Control the movement of balloons
Bend water
Make styrofoam balls dance around in aluminum foil
Control bubbles
Move a stick
Make a can roll around without touching it
Hover a styrofoam plate
