But, with something like the Egg Drop it has to be just right, so why not practice with Mark Koebrich on 9News first? But, when the segment starts out with a broken egg before we even start the experiment, I start to wonder whether this was a good idea or not. In the end, Mark got the egg in the glass… thanks to Newton’s laws of inertia. But, the real trick came when I broke out my new trick. Five glasses of water, five toilet paper rolls, and, yes, five eggs to drop into the glasses… and, it was a success. The relatives will be so proud.
