THE CHAIN

FOUNTAIN

When a chain of beads is pulled from a jar,

something amazing happens. The chain

continues to pour out on its own and

actually rises up into the air! It seems

like magic but it’s all about forces...

HOW DO THEY DO IT?

Pull the end of

the chain out

and let it fall...

THE MOULD EFFECT

This works with the type of

chain you find attached to a

bathtub stopper, only a lot

longer. After the chain is

carefully fed into a glass jar,

the end is pulled out until it

starts flowing on its own...

with surprising results. It

was discovered by the author

of this book, which is why it’s

called the Mould effect.
