A 6-foot tall Magician had a water glass and was holding the glass above his head. He let it drop to the carpet without spilling a single drop of water.

How could he manage to drop the glass from a height of six feet and not spill a drop of water?

I have two:

A man lives in a hotel, and everyday he gets the lift from the top floor (20th) to the bottom, and goes to work. However on the way back up after work he only goes to the 8th floor, and walks the rest of the way.

You are in a room, n which all the walls facing south. Out one of the windows you see a bear, what colour is it?

1. He can only reach the eight floor's button.
2. White. (You're on the North Pole)

Can you get this one right without reading it twice or using a calculator?
You're driving a bus. When you start, there are 20 people on the bus. On your first stop, 3 persons boards the bus. On the second stop, 7 get off, 2 gets on the bus. 5 gets on, and 4 gets of at your fourth stop. During your fifth stop, 15 gets off the bus, and 4 gets on. At your sixth stop, 9 get on and 2 get off the bus. At the final stop before your destination, 10 get on and 6 get off the bus.
What colour is the driver's eyes?

(Sorry if somebody already has done a similar one)

my favourite riddle:

with marble walls as white as milk
lined with skin as soft as silk
within a fountain crystal clear
a golden apple does appear
no doors are there to this stronghold
yet thieves break in and steal the gold

what is it?

Interestingly enough I was asked a load of riddles today. Here are the ones I remember.

A man attempts to marry his widows sister, is this legal?

In a bungalow, everything is painted purple, the windows, the floor, the curtains, everything. What colour are the stairs?

How many pairs of animals did Moses put on the Ark?

Is there a 4th of July in Britain?

How many months have 28 days?

The maker doesn't want it, the buyer doesn't use it, and the user doesn't see it, what is it?

No doubt the intelligent members of the Escapist will know the answers instantly =P, but it was worth a try.

1: no, the man is dead
2:bungalows do not have stairs
3:none, it was noah who took the animals on the ark
4:yes, there is a fourth of july everwhere
5:all months have 28 days
6:a coffin
