I know that the BBC sometimes restricts access to news items to UK only. I wonder if they have done something here, because this link still doesn't work for me. (Canada)

Aah, of course, never thought of that, that's probably the cause
Does the youtube video work?

The youtube video is simply the explanation, not the trick. The trick is on the BBC3 website itself, and would only work with its player.

I do love the bit at the end of the exp. video, though, when they stand up and walk away.

My brother called round today and showed me this

Well, actually, he showed me this but the link above should be followed first if you seriously want to mess with people's heads...

Enjoy!

Haha Brilliant, I cannot wait to try this out on a few select people!

Thank you, the YouTube version of the explanation works perfectly--and strangely, the actual trick on BBC works for me--but the explanation on BBC continues to be been locked.

Not sure why BBC does this--I get BBC Canada and BBC World here, so I am a customer. Just not a customer of BBC3! Beaurocrats--go figure!

Hm, it's an odd one if the trick video itself works (and yes, I know the trick video only works on the bbc three website but I guessed Terry would appreciate knowing what everyone is talking about :p)

Things on the BBC website are usually only limited to UK viewers for rights reasons, but since it's a BBC production it doesn't make sense for them to make it UK only
