I have seen Lance Burton 2 different times  in Las Vegas..
He is awesome. I am like a small child when I watch magicians. In total awe and fascination.
My daddy was a magician and preformed for hundreds of sailors on his ship.
He has given countless shows in our living room for people..and I never ever got tired of watching him. he was wonderful.

I'll have you know I just performed an amazing trick and it was no illusion! I turned  a warm 12oz. Diet Dr. Pepper into at least a gallon. I bumped it against the refrigerator door, the top popped open and it sprayed everywhere!  :o ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

It would have been a lot worse had that Dr. Pepper not been diet.

Yes, yes! Mythbusters even had a program on soda bottle rockets made with soda and Mentos.

One of the benefits of being in junior high when I was a lad back in the early fifties, was we were given the privilege of having a coke machine (6 oz glass bottles at five cents) in the lunch room.

Unlike today, this was almost scandalous that a school would allow soda pop consumption on the premises.

Instead of Mentos, we used M&Ms and would sneak around and drop several M&Ms in a guy's coke while he was not looking.

Everyone did it and everyone got a good laugh every time.

Before a person would notice his bottle was roiling over, the soda really made a mess of clothes, furniture, and floor.

Once someone noticed his bottle was spewing over, all he could do was pop the bottle in his mouth to catch the foam.

By the time the fizzing stopped, his coke was almost gone.

After dropping in the M&Ms, some guys would place a thumb over the bottle, shake it hard, release the thumb, and the soda would shoot all over the place.

We were warned about it a couple times and finally lost the coke machine.

M&Ms were new in our area at the time. Classes before us never had the opportunity to lose their machine.

We were never allowed to have soda machines in school, but we all knew there was one in the teachers' room. If we were at school for an after school project we were occasionally allowed to go in and buy one. I saw that Mythbusters show...love that series.

Yeah we saw that show while Ted was in the hospital. Before it was over we had a resident and a nurse watching and enjoying with us. When teenagers, we used to find what we knew to be an inexperienced soda jerk and order a marshmallow coke. Now that really fizzes, and the poor soda jerk couldn't figure out what had happened. Shame on us, just a little fun.  :D :D

We didn't have pop machines in school either, but had a wonderful drug store on the corner that sold nickle fountain cokes. We got one nearly every night waiting for the bus.

Mark used to put peanuts in his coke. They would foam up ...he would drink the coke and then eat the peanuts.

This was the dipping kind of marshmallow, like comes in a jar. They used to use a lot of it on special sundaes.

Most teachers live in total fear that some kid will bring that to school and attempt it, necessitating an ambulance run.  Thank GOD that I haven't had one try it at school yet!
