The Drive Thru Floating Cup Video Features a Magical Stunt

— June 17, 2012 — Pop Culture
Life is always a little better when magic is involved, and this Drive Thru Floating Cup prank proves it. The video, presented by Penguin Magic, documents YouTube user MagicofRahat as he enters a series of drive thrus only to completely surprise employees with a floating cup.

The self-described magician prankster films the hilarious reactions of workers as he pranks them in this video. As their emotions range from fearful to intrigued, the viewer has no idea what is coming next.

Wonder how he does it? well, a magician never reveals his secrets. But, one thing for sure, there are no strings attached as Rahat circles his hand around the cup as proof.

This isn't the first drive thru trick from Rahat, who did a series of tricks that involved fire and a wallet back in April.
