myminifactory

International Edition - This Model is designed for Euro 1 cent A participant is asked to lift all three decks and then the top deck alone. The participant will think the top box weighs more than all three boxes combined. How does this work? A French physician named Charpentier discovered this illusion over 100 years ago. The illusion occurs when a person underestimates the weight of a larger object (Three decks) compared to a smaller object of the same mass (Top deck).The top deck is filled with 84 pennies and the bottom two decks are hollow. Most of the weight is located in the top deck. The mind will trick you every time.Great illusion for the classroom, team building events, and showing friends.
