    I say fake

  2. beb says:

    I think that all of the things on the table were on a large sheet of glass that was above the cloth, so from afar it looks like everything is touching the table but really its just the cloth being pulled from under the big piece of glass. Just my opinion

  3. David Verrington says:

    in fact is real. I am a physics teacher and made the math. you need a cloth with very low friction bu ti found something good in a shop. tested it and it worked in laboratory conditions.

  4. Frank says:

    that was awesome

  5. Chris says:

    hmm.. if you place your curser on the bar to review slowly, you will see that second 38 is "missing", which is the exact same second the "trick" occurs.

    its not fake, but they did cheat. look at how everything's made of metal on the table, its all probably very heavy which made it easy to pull off. if they'd wanted to do something more worthwhile they could have left about 50 ft of slack in the line so they could get up to speed and do it with ceramic plates

    That is awesome, I also found this great experiment video about a diet coke and mentos explosion in a microwave on youtube that was really entertaining. It is pretty near death as far as diet coke and mentos goes. It is athttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVPZSK77yTw. Take a peek, its worth it.

    Not fake; If you look at the table after the trick, you can see that some silverware moved.

  9. David says:

    this is real, one word, physics.

  10. Chris daree says:

    its is fake, but its a bmw advert, :)

  11. DUH says:

    The table cloth is actually under a long sheet of glass. Then the stuff on top.

    AWEESOOOME!

  13. weebo says:

    that was pretty cool. too bad the bike is a total loser-mobile though, lol.

  14. Hmmmm says:

    Actually, although this trick is very easy and I can see why people think this is real (and I usually hate always seeing some idiot on EVERY video saying it is fake), this is in fact staged. Hapi is right first about the bike not having enough acceleration to do this, and two if you look at how the bike is pulling on the cloth it wouldn't work with that upward angle….I bet they did it for real with a bunch of slack in the line, which would give a better angle and higher speed, and then decided it would look better to have it happen from a stand still…. but who knows maybe it is completely real….

    Fake, Mythbusters did a whole episode on it. Episode was called "Tablecloth chaos." Check it out.

  16. dAVID says:

    this was on the show mythbusters and they proved it was fake.

  17. mr. t says:

    faaaaaake
    boooooring

  18. kkkkay says:

    mythbusters totally busted this.

  19. Brandon says:

    It's in fact NOT fake. I was one of the camera men on this shoot. The only fudging was that the table was extremely smooth & the cloth was a sateen sheet which slid off very easily. It did take A LOT of takes. They had to keep shortening the slack in the rope & finally got it to work with very little slack. it was pretty cool..but a long day!

  20. Joe says:

    Myth Busters tried it, = fake

  21. Zack says:

    How about just for everyones well being check out the mythbusters episode, where they test this video

  22. Cliff says:

    Umm Mythbusters proved that thing way way fake fail

  23. Conzo101 says:

    its fake they did it on mythbusters

  24. Krystal says:

    this is fake. if you watch it you can tell its fake. i also watched mythbusters bust this.

  25. Mike says:

    it's fake because a motorcycle can't accelerate fast enough for the trick to work and even with slack it has the wrong motion to work on a table of that size

  26. Emmy says:

    Ah mythbusters how you beautifully proved this wrong already.

  27. 420 says:

    they busted this on mythbusters u cant do it

  28. Benny says:

    Just watch mythbusters.. not fake just trick of the eye.
