THE INK

DOES NOT

BREAK UP

IN WATER,

SO IT STAYS

IN ONE

PIECE.

FLOATING LIKE A CORK

For this trick to work, the ink

needs to float. Luckily, just like a

cork, the ink in a dry–erase marker

is less dense, or lighter, than

water so will rise to the surface.

Watch as the balloon peels

off the plate and floats on

the surface of the water. If

any of the balloon remains

stuck on the plate, you can

blow on it to bring it to life!
