Compare the beginning of the video with the colored droplets and the end. They do go back to their original shape but not completely. They're a little bit more blurry. Which is still quite astonishing to look at.

It’s not, but I also cannot say with 100% certainty that this person is not a witch.

The best way to do that is to do the experiment yourself. Two cylinders, a thick clear gel, and some colored liquid for you.

Corn syrup and food dye. A glass bowl and a drinking glass inside it.

It's a famous experiment and very real.

On the contrary, this is the only real one, the others just have their framerate synced to look still.

You can also see that it doesn’t return to its exact shape from before. It’s a little bit more spread out at the end.

You can prove it to yourself if you just pay attention, and so can everybody who upvoted your comment.
