A six foot tall magician holds a water glass atop his head, He brings it forward then let's it fall to the ground, When it hits the ground, there is not a spot of water spilled, How can this be?

“The magician used magic to prevent the water from spilling.”

While magic might seem like a plausible explanation given the context of a magician, the riddle specifically hints at a logical reason behind the scenario, which is that the glass itself was empty.

“The glass was made of a special material that absorbs water.”

This answer misunderstands the riddle; it implies the glass retains water, which contradicts the fact that the glass was empty in the first place.

“The magician caught the glass before it hit the ground.”

This answer incorrectly assumes that the glass was not allowed to fall, while the riddle states that it was allowed to fall and still didn't spill any water.
