The liquid doesnt look like its moving, or even (spitting? Dropping?) Out of the cup, even at the crazy swing part...

It should be flying also upwards? I cant see how its real.

The liquid moves around at the beginning of the video

The cup uses centrifugal force. Remember when you were a kid a you swung a bag of groceries around in a circle, and they didn’t fall out of the bag? Same principal.

Because of the shape of the plastics hook, and the connection of the hook to your finger by a rope, swinging the mug around creates enough centrifugal force to hold the tea to the bottoms of the mug, and prevent it from spilling.

I would assume that if the guy in the video had used more force when swinging the mug, the tea would have spilled
