  • Welcome to the Corona Virus Chronicles... Tim is now self-isolating, and presenting his videos directly from his apartment, via a web link.
    Sign up for the Grand Illusions newsletter, at conta.cc/3dplns1
    _______________________________________________________________________
    Tim made a video a while back about the Assassin's Teapot, which has two internal compartments. The idea is that you pour a drink for yourself and drink it to show it is harmless, and then you pour a drink for your enemy, only this time you pour the drink in a special way, which means you are pouring from the other internal compartment, and your enemy gets the poison. Tim has also demonstrated pouring first tea and then milk from the same teapot.
    Quite a few people have asked how you fill it, so here is Tim's tutorial on filling the Assassin's Teapot!
    Although Tim is using Ribena as the 'poison' since it is a dark red colour and therefore easy to distinguish from the water that is in the other chamber, Ribena is actually one of Tim's favourite drinks, which is why he has a bottle of it in his kitchen!
    'Poisoning Pigeons In The Park' is a song by the American singer-songwriter Tom Lehrer!

    Only just discovered this channel. Every video I've watched so far has been both mesmerising, and truly wonderful. Every time I watch one of these videos I finish up feeling happier than before I started. A feeling of warm contentedness - the kind that seems to become increasingly rarer the longer life goes on - results inside me. That's the stuff that can't be bought or sold for any amount of money. Thanks Tim, you're a true gentleman.

    Writing the lyrics of every song titled episode day 4
    Spring is here
    A-suh-puh-ring is here
    Life is skittles and life is beer
    I think the loveliest time
    Of the year is the spring
    I do, don't you? 'Course you do
    But there's one thing
    That makes spring complete for me
    And makes every Sunday
    A treat for me
    All the world seems in tune
    On a spring afternoon
    When we're poisoning pigeons in the park
    Every Sunday you'll see
    My sweetheart and me
    As we poison the pigeons in the park
    When they see us coming
    The birdies all try and hide
    But they still go for peanuts
    When coated with cyanide
    The sun's shining bright
    Everything seems all right
    When we're poisoning pigeons in the park
    We've gained notoriety
    And caused much anxiety
    In the Audubon Society
    With our games
    They call it impiety
    And lack of propriety
    And quite a variety
    Of unpleasant names
    But it's not against any religion
    To want to dispose of a pigeon
    So if Sunday you're free
    Why don't you come with me
    And we'll poison the pigeons in the park
    And maybe we'll do
    In a squirrel or two
    While we're poisoning pigeons in the park
    We'll murder them all
    Amid laughter and merriment
    Except for the few
    We take home to experiment
    My pulse will be quickenin'
    With each drop of strychnine
    We feed to a pigeon
    (It just takes a smidgin!)
    To poison a pigeon in the park

    Simple yet efficient, using the air pressure to prevent one compartment from emptying. If you had a poison in that bottom compartment, you could even just mix the liquids by not covering either hole when pouring, that way there would be an even smaller chance of being caught.

    You spilled a lot of Ribena from the inlet in the handle when you turned that back over. I reckon if you tilted the teapot spout down in order to turn it over, the Ribena in the handle would all flow inside without spilling any from the inlet hole (but you'd need to cover the outlet spout to stop it pouring out of there.)
