DC tricks that you've done or want to try

I've been watching old DC episodes, and there's this trick involving
Spoiler: Episode 661-662
zapping of TV remote control via electric fan.
I have the urge to test if it actually works. :D

So, have you guys done or curious to test some of the tricks in DC? Share your experiences. Are the tricks in DC doable in real life? What's your opinion?

However, if the trick has not been animated, don't post it yet. This is only for animated episodes.
And, to be safe, put it in a spoiler box then label it:
Spoiler: Episode XXX
Spoiler trick here. Comment.
And please, you wanna try it to see, not use it as an alibi for murder. >:D

Or anything DC had influenced you to try.
Make curry rice? Check.
Eat at a rotating sushi restaurant? Check.
Peanut butter - jelly sandwich? Not yet.

If this thread had been done before, feel free to delete it.

I just saw it in ebay yesterday. Not a functional necktie though but it's a DC toy.

Can't recall this one. Care to spoiler box the episode number? :D

I tried charging the battery by rubbing your hands, it works! From 8% to 18%. Not bad.

OMG, now I remember. That is one complicated trick. I think it won't be enough for that ratio, but worth a try seeing on Mythbusters.

Spoiler: Episode 184
Connecting 200 masks and put a knife at the end to stab someone outside of the room.
I want to see if I have the strength to hold the 200 masks in air.

This trick doesn't work (at least as shown in the episode itself, though there could be a way to "fix" it in real life), because the string used to control the masks is still be in the room.

I realize that you can poke holes in the tricks of many DC cases, my point here is just that here the flaw is present and unresolved within the episode, as you can see the string falling into the room.

I actually apply some of the tricks in DC at school since it helps in applying some concepts in Chemistry, like the supercooling in 706 and reactions with potassium cyanide, like 219.

As for tricks I want to try, definitely the codes used in 622-623 which is a lot to memorize.

Spoiler:
There are two ropes in this trick. The one through the eyes and one through the mouth. For the rope through the eyes, one goes in left side and then goes in the right side at the end. For the mouth, one rope is just tied to the knife. When Takagi pulls the ropes, you can see that Takagi only cuts a part of rope from the eyes and a part of rope from the mouth. Then, all he has to do is pull the ropes. This leaves no ropes in the room.
