1F20.30 Table Cloth Pull

Use a smooth-top table and seamless table cloth that won’t catch dishware. Heavy dishware is necessary to provide adequate inertia. Pull table cloth straight down over the edge, or chop down at cloth while holding onto end (see image).

Videos are hi-speed footage of the tablecloth pull and the reverse tablecloth pull.

Interesting YouTube variations:
The BMW ad,  very cool but a fake
Mythbusters rebuttal
pull it out and put it back  (16 sec) and a longer one
Pope Francis in New York fake, but still kinda cool.
