OK, since #3 and #4 was too easy for you riddle-nuts, got a good one. Cookie will be a random flavor...enjoy! A 6-FOOT MAGICIAN HAD A WATER GLASS AND WAS HOLDING THE GLASS ABOVE HIS HEAD. HE LET IT DROP TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT SPILLING A SINGLE DROP OF WATER. HOW COULD HE MANAGE TO DROP THE GLASS FROM A HEIGHT OF SIX FEET AND NOT SPILL A SINGLE DROP OF WATER? FYI: There is no math or physics experience required for this.

Because he kept his hand under it and lowered it the whole way down?

As the question stated, he dropped it from a height of 6 feet. No gliding, no strings, no ropes, no mirrors were used. Keep trying :)

IF the magician covered the glass then turned it upside down and dropped it fast, the water would stay in the glass all the way down. Another idea is if it was a covered glass then nothing would be lost.

Sorry..what I was trying to say was that he covered the open side with something flat, turned the glass upside down, pulled the object away from the glass fast, and let the glass drop. That way the water stays in the glass as it falls.

Did the glass not have any water in it? You said it was a water glass not a glass filled with water. If that isn't it, then I will admit that I stumped. I look forward to hearing the answer to this riddle.
