Penny in the shot glass trick

This guy shows us how to put a penny into two shot glasses stacked together filled with water without spilling any of the water. Since water has a lot of service tension, you can move the glasses just enough to insert the penny.

You'll notice that a little bit of water spills out of the glass. Well thats because the penny is replacing the space that the water occupied, so it has to go somewhere. And that is what caused the little spill at 0:18 that all of the people on YouTube are complaining about.

Picking up shot glass using your palm

This guy shows you how to lift a half-full shot glass with just the palm of your hand. He does it by lighting the liquor on fire and quickly placing his palm on the glass. The flame creates a vacuum, which therefore causes the shot glass to stick to your palm. 

What is a shot glass?

A shot glass is a small glass container designed to hold a certain amount of liquor. A shot glass can be used to either measure a certain amount of liquor to be used in mixed drink, or to be drunk straight from the glass (otherwise known as a "shot").

Shot glasses can be found at bars, cabinets, restaurants, and even limos throughout the world. If it weren't for the shot glass (or the "shot"), many people would live sober weekends. Thankfully we do have shot glasses and it is politically correct to take a "shot", so nobody suffers from sober-weekend syndrome. 

Shot glasses have many uses other than just measuring liquor or being sipped out of. Many people use them as party favors or gifts, and many people like to collect them. Shot glasses can be found in gift shops around the world, which makes them great souvenirs to remember your journeys.

The modern thick-walled shot glass is said to have originated in the US during the Prohibition era. The term "shot glass" or "shotglass" first appeared in print in around the 1940s. It is very rare to find a shot glass before the 1940s. 

The shot glass phenomenon was fueled by The Great Depression and Prohibition. Although there aren't any facts directly supporting the above statement, both periods in time somewhat relate to the creation of the shot glass based on the period of time of which these two events occurred.
