title: Disappearing Blob
aka: 

Description:
  A piece (blob) of water absorbant gell is submerged in water.  Since it has the same index of refraction as the water, it shows no reflection nor refraction.  When the thread is pulled, the blob becomes visible as it is lifted into air.

Question:
    How do you make an invisible man?
