If you can watch this video only once you will have achieved something I didn’t think was possible.

    I got it (after 8 views). Solved it. Very fascinating, though.

    I know exactly how this works.

    . . . if you look closely at the first frame and hit “pause”, you’ll clearly see that one of the stones in the jar is actually a pellet of “disappearing chipmunk dust” that quickly explodes when the jar is turned over and makes the chipmunk invisible. You can purchase these “disappearing chipmunk dust” pellets at any REI store or online, but be careful, I think these pellets have a very short shelf life.

    Hey, Uncle David just took one of those pellets! He’s gone!!

  8. And here I thought he jumped to the right before it flipped it. but then I rewatched it. David is right.

    Once again I wish we had an REI store close by! :-(
