I've always known it as the anti-gravity glasses but that may have just been the name Edwin gave to Supreme's version using the special tray.

Anti-gravity is what I've always heard - fun effect, specially in the kitchen - or Café.

Thanks guys, Anti-gravity Glasses sounds familiar to me.
Such a great trick with totally borrowed items. |

Anti-gravity Glasses sounds right for me too when using drinking glasses.
I believe Anti-Gravity was the one where you stuck a pencil into the upside-down drink bottle. Tom

In any case, BOTH are great tricks that I bet will play well today!

Louis Ganson's "Routined Manpulation Finale" has a chapter on this.
