Ask HN: What's your favorite physics demonstration?

Specifically ballistics, but feel free to mention others.

Personally I like the hunter and the monkey, showing deviation from a straight line exactly matches distance fallen in a given time under gravity. I also like the cannon firing vertically on a (uniformly) moving wagon and returning to land in the cannon.

But what's yours?

It has to be the Double-Slit Experiment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfPeprQ7oGc

I still remember how my mind was blown when I first saw it.
