What is an assassins tea pot? | QI - BBC

This is how you get rid of your enemies, politely 🫖 #QI #iPlayer

That device is also used in a somewhat popular magicians trick called "think a drink, " except most modern magicians have more chambers than just two in their trick teapots.

There's nothing that can't be made better by Steve Mould with a 2D perspex version.

[TVFILMBUFF]

Steve obviously didn't get a good enough crowd reaction/opening shot when he got introduced the first time... because they had to splice in some end frames with the liquid already poured lol @ 0:54 . That would confuse the fk out of the assassin's victim for sure.

[derekr]

It would be bad if you forgot which one the poison was in!

[PhantomObserver]

Mind you, it raises one question: if you fill one section of the pot with tea and the other with milk, which section do you pour into the cup first?

[thomasdalton]

Why does the introduction shot of Steve have the glasses already full? How could he have got standing there smiling so wrong they couldn't use it and had to use a later shot?

Someone has to explain to me these backgrounds. Why the pictures of people with cricket gear?

[nomennescio]

I don't want to be insensitive or anything, but I gotta ask. The lady panelist, what's her deal?

[markwhelan]

When he asked the question the whole idea is you want to assassinate someone why don't you just knife them? And the lady says it's because it's done with good manners. I think it has more to do with not being a suspect in the murder and then having no repercussions. From either friends family or the law.
This way you can kill many people not only one victim.

[sommmeguy]

Who needs poison when you are already adding MILK to tea. Uech.

[petejones]

I'm sorry and it's for no fault of her own but I just cannot listen to that lady with the slow speech.. It upsets me
